please go to the line the computer guy dot com in order to view schematics, code and Maur for the projects that you are learning about.
Welcome back to today.
I want to talk about data center co location for your cloud infrastructure.
So I've thought about software as a service and infrastructure service and platform is a service and metal as a service and all of these ways that you can off load the types of technology work that are not important for your company, right?
So again, if you're out there and you're a construction company, you're trying to sell construction projects.
You don't wanna worry about servers and data centers and dealing with operating systems and all that kind of thing.
You just want software as a service.
You just simply want salesforce dot com or quickbooks dot com or something like that.
You want to be able to use functionality and features from software, but you don't want to worry about the infrastructure and servers that go along with it.
Now, if you're with a coding or development company, you may want some place to be able to host your code so you'll go and you will write all of your code.
You want someplace to put that code where it will run.
But you don't want to worry about the servers and you don't want to worry about the rounding and you don't wanna have to worry about all that kind of stuff.
You get all the way to mental as a service and with metal as a service.
For some reason, maybe you need to get down to those root level permissions and an operating system, so you need to be able to control user accounts and permissions on that operating system.
You might even want to be able to go in there and tweak the colonel.
But again, you don't really want to worry about that data center.
You don't want to really have to worry about buying physical equipment, all of that kind of thing.
So you can go and you can simply a rent a dedicated server from one of the service providers while in the same idea in the same concept.
You may be sitting there going Oh, you know what I want to do?
I want to create the next face, but I don't want to create the next YouTube.
And in order to create the next YouTube, I need to use a sand or a NASDA vice.
That's very specific, but I don't want to host that in my own facility.
I don't wanna have to build out of data center.
I don't wanna have to worry about a TV, A C systems and power redundancy and all that kind of stuff.
And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go out and I'm going to buy all this physical equipment.
So at this point, I am buying all the physical equipment I own, all of the physical equipment.
I'm responsible for the physical equipment, but I'm simply going to go out and rent a place to be able to install this equipment.
So have people on the Internet are able to access it, and that's what we get to with a co location.
Data centers essentially, these air data centers, where you are able to rent space in the data center and rent functionality from the data center on.
Then put your own equipment in there so you can go in there and again if you're going to some of these co location facilities you can see some amazingly high end equipment.
You go in there and you're like, Wow, I haven't actually seen one of those things in the wild on then Other other racks you could go and you can take a look.
You go.
Wow, I didn't know one of these.
Those things is still running like it's really interesting.
Go into a co location data center because it is.
You'll go in there and you'll see Iraq of the highest and equipment that money can buy and then another rack right beside it.
I swear we don't see some piece of crap.
10 year old Dell server just chugging along on The reason is, is the reason is because that crappy asked, 10 year old Dell server is doing whatever the customer needs it to do.
Basically, they need a place to be able to have it run.
They need to be able to connected TV, Internet.
They need to have power and all those kinds of things.
But again, they don't really care about the power of the machine.
Doesn't have to be the latest doesn't have to be the greatest.
We just need some place to be a plug in our machine and make sure that it's running 24 hours a day.
So we're talking about co location facilities.
This is where you own all the equipment.
You're responsible for all of the equipment.
You are simply a rate renting space and racks, or you're renting entire racks on their own, and you're getting a connection to the Internet at whatever speed your contract ID for so basically, it's kind of like a condo space for servers and for networking equipment.
So that's what we're talking about, what we're talking about, a co location in data centers.
So the first thing to be thinking about when you're thinking about a data center co location is basically the physical location of where you would like your servers to run.
There's a couple of things you need to think about when you're thinking about that.
So when you're thinking about Data Center co location, the first thing to realize is that there are a crap ton of co location facilities out there in the world.
So they're cool location facilities all throughout the United States, throughout Europe, throughout Asia, throughout Africa, the whole nine yards.
So when you're thinking about co location.
This is not something where there is only one or two vendors out there with a couple of dinos centers that you could go with.
There are guests.
There are an enormous number of vendors out there with an enormous number of different options for you.
So one of the first things that you need to be thinking about is does it matter geographically where your servers are located?
So you're gonna be thinking about things like a leighton see, and that type of thing.
So if you're used doing video game servers right late and see is very important.
So you want your servers to be physically as close to your end user as possible.
Another hand.
If you're doing something like an online backup system, you know, as long as the system's back up in a reasonable amount of time, it doesn't really matter, Right?
Eso?
If you're doing online backup system, you might be able to put your servers anywhere in the world that you want based off of things like a regulatory compliance and costs in that type of thing.
So the first thing you need to be thinking about is as far as your indie users are concerned doesn't matter where your server's are physically located.
The next thing you need to be thinking about is how are you going to be maintaining your servers once you spend them up?
And are they close enough to you to actually be able to maintain your server?
So it is very important to understand here, this is not metal is a service, right?
So metal as a service is where you rent a dedicated server.
And if something happens in that dedicated server, then the tech support for the company that you're dealing with has to deal with it.
Remember these air your physical machines.
These air your physical machines of a CPU fail fans on one of your physical machines.
You are responsible for it.
And so this is something that you really do have to think about, right.
So if you go with a data center that's within half an hour of you and and something crashes, then it's rather easy for you to be able to get in your car and go and try to try to fix whatever's going on.
On the other hand, again, if you pick a data center.
That's closer to your end users but may be far away from you.
That means you have to travel to wherever that data center is to repair the equipment.
Or you have to have some kind of maintenance contract with some kind of let's say, I t consultancy or manage service provider to go and repair that equipment.
So that is something that is very important to be thinking about is when you think about spending up your equipment somewhere.
If something fails, if that stupid ass CPU fail fan fails, how are you going to get your systems back online?
And again, if your equipment, you know, it was halfway around the country or halfway around the world, and you literally have to hop on a plane in order to repair that equipment that can run you into a lot of problems?
So that's something to be thinking about, then passed that when you're going out and you're thinking about renting in a co location facility, you're going to be renting by what is called the U.
S.
O.
U.
U was a standard unit of measurement a SZ faras rack servers are concerned, so whenever you're dealing with rack mounted equipment.
Whether it's rack mounted servers with this rack mounted switches or other networking equipment, there will be a size of that equipment in U.
S.
O normal size servers.
You'll hear of one U servers or one you size networking equipment or whatever.
And so that is a unit of measurement.
Larger servers such as Let's Say, servers that hold a lot of hard drives.
Let's a storage servers those might be fore you piece of equipment.
So when you're going to go out and rent space and a cold location facility, you need to think about how many you you need to be thinking about how much space you need.
So basically, a lot of times you'll actually go out.
And for me, I actually had my servers and a co location facility for a while when I started the business.
And so it was, ah, $100 per month per you.
So I went in with 21 U servers.
That means I had to use to use a space, and so that cost me $200 a month.
When you go out to rent space, you can either rent buy to you Sometimes you can rent by the quarter rack.
Sometimes you can rent by 1/2 rack, and sometimes you can rent by the full rack.
But something to be thinking about is if you rent rent by the full rack or the quarter rack or the half rack is just making sure you know how many you are in that rack.
So so when you have a server rack, different server racks have different sizes.
So the standard size, like a 40 to U server racks of Theoretically, you could put in 40 to 1 year's U servers, theoretically, but one of things that would be thinking about with whatever cool location facility you go with.
The rack size is maybe different.
Might be a 50 Iraq.
Or maybe it's a 35 year, 36 years.
Iraq, I suppose on.
So when you go out to rent a full rack, you do.
You need to remember how much space is in that actual rack and then me thinking about how much space you need for your equipment.
So the first thing you need to be thinking about is how many you do you need past that?
Is that power consumption's of power consumption is one of those things a lot of us don't really think about when we're spinning up servers, right, You plug your server, you're pulling your computer into the wall, you turn it on right.
As long as it turns on you have enough power.
You don't really think about it much more than that, right?
Uh, well, one of things be thinking about when you go into a cold location facility, it is that they are part of the contract is they will give you so many amps.
So one and five and 10 at 30.
And so when you put a piece of equipment into the rack that will have a certain amount of power draw, it might be half an AMP.
It might be five amps, right, depending on the piece of equipment.
So if you have something like a switch or a router or rather just a normal crappy server or something like that, you might have, like a one and power drop another hand.
If you have some big piece of storage equipment that has a lot of hard drive's spinning and doing whatever it is that they dio, you may have a lot larger power draw may have up to something like a four and power drop.
So one of the things that you need to be thinking about is what is the power consumption of the equipment that you're going to be putting into the co location facility, And then how much power are you actually bind?
Right, If you buy one amp of power and your equipment requires 10 amps of power is basic math your equipment isn't going to work on.
So this could be a frustrating thing, especially for new folks.
Now, when you're trying to figure out the actual power draw of equipment, it can be a little bit confusing, cause again when you have equipment.
Um, but then you know what load there under depending on what additional things you've added to that equipment.
Do you have GPU cards in your equipment?
How many hard drives you have spending your equipment?
Do you have platter based hard drives or do you have solid state drives?
You can have a lot of different results for what the power draw.
Maybe I would argue you can get a little device that will actually show you how much amps.
How many amps your equipment is pulling?
I would say that you should probably purchase one of those devices.
Plug your equipment into that device to make sure what the power draw is.
If if you don't have that or if you don't have the equipment yet, then you can call up the vendors and communicate with the vendors and try to see what the expected and use it will be.
And so this is an important thing to be thinking about when you're gonna be actually going out there and renting from a cold location facility past that.
You then have the band with that you are allocated.
So whenever you're dealing with band with first, you're going to get the speed.
So what is it?
What is the total amount of concurrent speed that you can use is a hunter megabits per second?
Is it a gig per second?
Is it 10 gigs per second?
Is it literally almost unlimited?
You might go with the data center that gives you almost unlimited.
But one of the important things be thinking about is what speed are you going to be getting out of your co location facility?
So you're doing basic things such as you're doing an email server.
Oh, I don't know.
Things like e mail servers, that type of thing, maybe 100 megabits per second connection.
It is more than enough for you.
On the other hand, if you're doing some kind of like video streaming service, then you may want a gigabit per second or all the way up to 10 gigabit per second connections.
This is somebody think about, and one thing to be thinking about is you can have load balancing within your equipment within your Rex.
And let's say you rent a whole rack.
You have a 10 gigabit per second connection coming in, and then what you can do is you might have.
What's a four different video streaming servers?
And then you can have load balancing as users or coming into view content.
They can be load balance across those multiple servers.
And so each one of those servers who knows each server made Max at a one gigabit per second connection.
So let's say the servers have one gig cards in them, so you have four servers with one gig cards.
You have a total 10 gig pipe coming in.
And then what can happen is you're gonna physical load balancer than that load balances to those different servers again to distribute the load.
So one of things you need to be thinking about is what is the total bandwith that you are going to be getting out of your co location facility again?
That that can run you into problems.
And one of the things to be thinking about, too, is not only how much bandwidth you're currently using, but can you scale up into the future.
So with some co location facilities, they'll give you 100 megabits per second.
And if you want 10 gigabits per second, you simply have to pay for us.
It's a it's a credit card migration.
You swipe your credit card, you got 10 gigabits per 2nd 1 thing have to be careful about that.
It's some co location for the facilities facilities.
You get 100 megabits per second connection, and that's all you will ever get.
And so, at that point, it is no longer a credit card migration.
It is literally if you need more bandwidth, you need to move all of your equipment to an entirely entirely different co location facility.
So with co location facilities.
Just like a lot of other things I tell you about when you're purchasing equipment, think about what the upgrade or the scaling strategy is gonna be, right?
It's like, OK, I need 100 megabits per second now How much would it give it per second?
Cost me and then see if that's reasonable again.
You gotta look at costs, right?
Even if they offer a gigabit per second, maybe it's a stupid cost.
But then you say, OK, is thinking of its available Is Maur than that available?
Basically, you see what's available, what their plans are to increase things like band with and see if that seems reasonable for you because the last thing that you want to d'oh is the last thing is, you know, you spent up an entire rack of equipment, you configure everything and then if you outgrow your co location facility, that could be a really big problem past the general speed.
Then come into the question of usage.
So depending on what co location facility you go with is all whatever is in the contract, some cold location facility is allowing you basically have unlimited usage.
So you get that speed and you more or less get unlimited music, other co location facilities, they will meet.
Or you Andre will tell you.
You know, this is how much it costs per terabyte of bandwidth that you use.
And then you sit there and you look at that price and you see if it's reasonable.
So that is something to be thinking about even when data centers usage costs may apply past that.
You there, then the question of I p addresses.
So how many I p addresses are they going to offer you?
So with whatever echolocation facility you go within whatever plan you go with, they may give you one I p address or they may give you up to 30 or more.
Ori May.
It may be a bit by numerous I p addresses, so basically they can offer you Internet accessible.
I p addresses Internet facing I P addresses.
And so somebody think about is ok.
Do you want your equipment behind some kind of nat firewall?
So a network address Translation.
You have one.
I p address that hits that firewall router and then behind that is your own I p address scheme and then you route traffic, calorie.
Want to route traffic?
Or do you want all of your servers to be Internet facing and so people can connect to them from the outside world?
And so that's something to think about is how many I p addresses are you going to get?
And then again, like with things like the servers, then you have to think about again How many network cards are gonna be in peak server?
How many Internet facing, you know, network cars?
Are you going have think about all the ports that you're going to use and then figure out Is that going to be good for you past that?
When you're talking about man with two is the question is going to be things like routing protocols.
Eso get.
You're now in a data center.
So you're now in a data center.
You're playing with the big boys, big dogs, whether or no, no, they're not.
You fully appreciate that.
And so one of things to be asking is can you use rounding protocols such as B G P s O border?
Gateway Protocol is the major protocol for basically Internet.
Oh, facing equipment.
So a lot of times most people don't actually use with deal with a B G P protocol.
But again, if you have a whole rack of equipment if you have a whole rack of equipment, you may have you know, a chunk of that being your Cisco networking gear or some other enterprise class networking gear, and you can actually use B G p with some of these cold location facilities.
So that's one of the things to be thinking about, too.
Is basically what what protocols do you need?
Do you need be GP or do you just basically need an I P address?
And you don't really care about anything past that?
Uh, from that you go into security.
So one of things be thinking about with these data centers is security is still very important.
Someone you're thinking about security in a data center.
You realize if you do something such as renting one or two use of space in Iraq, well, that means you're going to have a lot of other people in that rack with you again.
So when I was renting, use at a co location facility, close to me.
Basically, you know, I was renting to use out of a 42 year rack.
And so there were another 20 or 30 customers using the exact same rack that out then?
Well, yeah.
So just imagine you have Iraq, where 20 other people have access to the rack that your equipment isn't.
So means all of your cables, everything that you've set up some stupid little.
You know, junior level level technician comes in unplugs the wrong thing.
And all of a sudden you're infrastructure get goes off, lie on.
And this is something that you do need to be thinking about as far security, and all that is concerned is if you have 20 other companies in the rack with you that you're renting space out of, just realize that when they're technicians come in when they're unplugging equipment, they could unplug your equipment if they if they hired a hacker who decides to start plugging in USB sticks into the random servers in that rack, you actually really do have a massive physical security vulnerability.
So that's something to be thinking about.
That's one reason why people will decide to rent either half racks or full racks for themselves.
So if you rent 1/2 rack or at full rack, they will have doors, and generally they will actually have keys that you can lock.
So when you when you ran your own rack or half rack, that is all you, it has a door on it, and it actually has a key on that door so it could be locked up so nobody else can get and actually deal with your servers.
And so this might be an important thing, depending on what you're doing again.
Just imagine 20 other companies 20 other people hiring complete morons that those morons are going to come in.
And whenever they're doing their maintenance for their people's equipment again, any point they could pop out a little USB stick, shoving into some some random server, and again it would be very hard to even detect that that's happened.
So that's one thing to be thinking about securities.
Do you want a basic door?
And then beyond that, if you're really dealing with compliance issues, you can actually go these data centers and for the right amount of money for the right amount of money, they will literally fence off areas of the data center for you.
So let's say you're gonna You're going to rent five racks, promotes your five racks full of equipment.
You wanna make sure there's physical security around those piece of equipment, They will actually build a full just a chain link fence one.
Those crappy cane link fences.
That's what they do.
It's a crappy came link fence.
Then you have a lock whatever kind of walk you want on there.
And then that adds an additional level of physical security for you.
When you're thinking about you know what kind of security you need for your data center equipment past that.
One of things you need to be thinking about is how you're gonna be interacting with your equipment if there is a problem.
If there was a meltdown, right, we all hope that servers do not crash for random ass reasons.
But of course, they do crash for random as reasons and every server crashes.
You know, whether you get to S S H a remote desktop protocol or any of your remote management tools, that is a big question.
Eso one of the things that many of these data centers offers actually offer what's called I p k B M service is so K V m is keyboard, video mouse.
And so what they can they can offer you is they can actually have their technicians go to your equipment, actually plug in these little I p k B M devices, and then you're able to remotely a manage your equipment from wherever the work in the world you are all the way down to the post level.
So, you know, you reboot the server and then it comes up with the the boot sequence and all that kind of thing for you.
Something like a p K V M.
You're able to then access all of those low level configurations and might be a bit restore your equipment that way, eh?
So that's something to think about.
And in the final thing to be thinking about when you're thinking about going to a co location, Data center is how long will it take them to pro vision Your space and your band with the provisioning process is the actual delivery process.
Right.
So you walk in, you see the co location facility, you see all the stuff you're like, great.
I want this.
They say no problem.
We'll take eight weeks.
And that's only to think again.
Like how long you have before you need your equipment.
Spun up.
Doesn't need to be spun up in a couple of days is six weeks good for you.
This is this is something that you need to consider depending what data center you're going into, depending on what their compliance issues and all that kind of thing is literally going into a data center, Some data centers you can go into the next day.
Other data centers.
You were literally going to be waiting weeks until you can go into them.
And especially if you need to have fences built within the data center or any other kind of specialized stuff for you that can take a longer time.
So these are some of the things that you need to be thinking about everything about going into a co location facility and just again to have in mind things like, how much space do you need?
How much power you gonna need?
What?
Do you really think your band with requirements are gonna be rounding requirements?
Is it going to grow with you.
These are some of the considerations you really have to think about before you sign a contract.
So with all of that, let's go over the computer so I can show you some of the options that are available when you're thinking about co location facilities.
Now, to be clear, I just kind of picked these options all willy nilly.
I am not recommend being anybody here.
I just picked these options because they give you an overview of the different things that you should be looking at when you're looking at a code location facility.
So my all means go with these people or don't go with these people.
I am not recommending one way or the other just to be clear here, so that let's go over the computer and I can show you kind of Samora this these things you need to be thinking about when you're gonna be renting in a cool location facility.
So this is the type of equipment that you might use in a coat location facility.
Eso Scientology creates a lot of very high quality network attack storage devices s Oh, this might be a good option for you if you're trying to create the next YouTube or basically you're trying to create some kind of infrastructure that needs a lot of storage on.
So one of things I have like this rack station Rs 1619 X s plus one you rack Mount flat ship aimed for file collaboration and high for performance computation.
So obviously, this is not a quote unquote Lennox machine.
This is not a quote unquote Windows machine.
You simply by any Scientology, you put your hard drives in there, you do all the configurations and then you deploy it into the real world s O.
If we go hear some of the things that we need to take a look at again as faras things like CPU and all of that, we don't really care about that for a co location facility.
The main things that we're looking at is things like the power consumption and the use eso we keep scrolling down and go past the file, sir, file systems, all that kind of stuff.
So we're gonna be looking at here is the appearance.
And so we're going to look at the form factor are you and so we can see this particular piece of equipment takes one you of space.
So that's gonna be the important thing again.
You're gonna need to rent a CZ.
Many use as is required.
So this one needs one.
You tell you some stuff about the weight, it also talks about the rack installation.
So if you're gonna need something like a rail kit So this is something important to be thinking about is whenever you're going tohave networking equipment that's going to go into a rack, then you're most likely going to need something like a rail kit to be able to install it into the rack.
So when you buy that one, you server, all you get is the one you server.
And then you basically you screw the rail kit to the sign of the one you server, and that allows you to put it into the rack itself.
So this is one of those things to be thinking about.
That actually shows you all that stuff, eh?
So you got all that kind of thing there, and then it does go, and it does talk about power.
I'm not going to discuss how you figure out the amps and this particular video because it can't actually get pretty squirrely in the real world like figuring out what the actual and usage will be.
Depends a little on a lot of things and so I don't want to muck it up here.
Basically, we would see this as a power supply.
150 watts.
It has 100 volt to two.
Wonderful A c on dhe.
Then it talks about the power consumption here.
And then this is the actual power consumption of the device itself.
Eso theoretically 68.68 watts once being accessed and 34.78 wants when it's in hibernation.
So just realize here you take this information and you take this information and that's supposed to give you how many amps you're gonna use.
But again, in the real world, that could get a little squirrely if we go over and we take a look and another piece of equipment.
So again, this is the rack station Rs 4017 X s, plus blah, blah, blah.
We could go.
We could take a look at the specs and then again, like, say, weaken scroll down here we can take a look at the appearance so form factor.
So this is a three you device and so that's got to be something you're not gonna need to be thinking about.
So if you're using a storage device, you have to think about how many hard drives it can take in store.
You have to think about power consumption and you have to think about use how many use so on and so forth, so past that we can go when we can actually look at some of these co location facility.
So this is ah, box bility again.
I just randomly found this on You can come here and you can take a look at their different co location facilities.
And again, you may have co location facilities in places you weren't thinking about.
So Los Angeles, Ashburn, Miami That sounds pretty normal.
London sounds normal.
Answer that damn may sound normal, but they have things like Bucharest like Oh, that that's a place you can go to your right.
Vienna Frank.
For eso, it is important to be thinking about is different companies offer these data centers in different locations, then past that you're gonna select how many you you're gonna need.
So you need 10 you So this particular company will rent tin you in a full rack, 20 U N a full rack or a full rack cabinet.
So we'll simply selected that.
And then over here, you can go for your commitment, right?
So a one year commitment, price per month, two year commitment or three year commitment.
So just like any other contract, thing you have to think about is how long do you want to be locked into this contract?
The longer you're locked into the contract, the better the price will be right, so on and so forth s so we could go here and then let's say we can click on Ashburn rest in and with that That shows us the two facilities and Ashburn and arrested.
So this is Virginia.
So this would be relatively close to May.
I clicked on Miami.
It shows me the options in Miami.
Amsterdam shows me officers there.
Bucharest shows me the options there and again.
This is something to be really thinking about things like price.
So if you're in Ashburn, arrest in one of their data centers will cost you $2200 a month.
A different data center will cost you $1500 a month.
If you go to Bucharest, you can get the data center a full rack it down to $717 per month.
Because do you remember these data centers?
They are doing things like paying for rent.
So if in there in a more expensive area, rent and all that kind of thing is going to cost them more money, power is going to cost them money, Right?
So something to think about is you might wanna put your equipment in a less expensive area if it doesn't really matter to you or realize you don't want to be too cheap.
So let's say if you're in, If you were in DC, the D C area, anything.
Oh, I'll just put my equipment in Bucharest because is less expensive there.
Do you remember if your CPU fan fails because you've gotta fly to Bucharest?
I was just thinking, Look, Ashburn, we'll go take a look at the expensive one here.
01 thing here is I get delivering how long it takes to actually pro vision the space for U s O here.
It's fine to six weeks.
So if you're gonna try to go into the aspirin locations 5 to 6 weeks, if you're gonna try to go into the rest in Virginia's 3 to 4 weeks if you go over to Bucharest again, uh, you know one of theirs, the Bucharest one is seven days or left.
Thea other Bucharest one is two months.
So again, you can see Even with this single company in a single area, you can see there is a large difference and how long it will take to actually provision the space that you're gonna be renting.
Uh, we're gonna go here and there and click on the details.
Eso we click on the details isn't going to give us a bunch of information here.
You can start taking a look at this, says the data center says the location where it is on the map space.
Full depth.
19 In Cabinet minimum 42 years.
You're going to get at least 40 to you.
So it's important for you.
Guarantees 99.9999% power using both lines.
Who's here?
Shows you some different things, then let's see here Power circuits.
So this is important thing to be looking at.
So you've got two lines.
A a primary plus be redundant at 30 and eat.
So you get a lot of amps here.
So that's a thing 120 volts.
If that matters to you, we could go down and take a look.
A lot of different information here.
Their service level agreement, different things with network access.
You know what your speed is.
So it's connected so as an Internet provider.
So it has a direct access to premium networks 10 gigabits per second download and gaining theoretically.
But the connection speed is actually one gigabit per second.
So it's connected.
It's connected to equipment that can theoretically give you 10 gigabits per second.
We've actually got a one gigabit per second connection Speed on, then here band with packages.
So how much it costs for bandwith for here Gonna be paying per terabyte.
And here it's not actually that bad.
So $5.50 per terabyte.
All traffic though incoming and outgoing.
You think about that.
We go down V land rounding i p addresses eso basically how it's going to deal with.
I p addresses for you and different things.
You can also get a denial of service protections and other things here.
So this is one of the providers you could go with again, A little bit that expensive.
But you can get to power lines at 30 AM P could get a 42 you rack, and you get a lot of these other things.
If we go over, we can take a look at a different company.
So this is co location America, right?
So if you're like Well, wow, you lie.
You know, I was interested.
I was interested in this until I saw was gonna cost me $1400.
Well, yeah.
Remember, co location facility is like everything.
There is all kinds of different options out there.
Eso echolocation, America.
You can rent one you of space to use of space.
1/4 rack, which is 10 years of space.
Half Iraq, which is 21 use of space or a full rack, which is 42 years of space.
So here you might get into a price point that you like better.
But as with all things, a different price point gives you different things.
So for one you of space.
It'll only cost you $75 a month so you can put that one.
You assign ology storage device in there A one year used.
You want Z on servers, so on, so forth.
For that you get 10 terabytes of bandwith on.
Then, as far as power is concerned, you get two amps of power.
Now, to be clear, two amps of power should be fine.
But again, depending on your equipment, maybe not.
Who knows?
On then I p v four, You get one usable I p address give you some more of this.
You know, Gigi, port up.
Link some other things on $99 a month to get to use of space for only a little bit more you to use, you get the same amps.
You still get one usable I p address.
So that might run into problems to you.
So again, that's one thing you have to be thinking about, like again.
So a too you piece of equipment could go in there and then you only need one i p address for a too you piece of equipment.
But if you have two pieces of equipment that are one you each then only having one I p address might run you into problems.
So somebody think about you over the quarter AC 3 99 25 megabits per second.
Dedicated.
So there it looks like the band with you don't have a cap on band with, but you only get 25 megabits per second.
So again, depending what you're doing and the email server, that might be fine.
A real time communications server is that might suck you.
Now you get five amps of power and then you get five usable I p addresses you up to 1/4 arrack.
You get 50 megabits per second.
Dedicated 20 amps.
So now you're actually getting some decent power, and then you get 13 reusable I P addresses, and then you go up to a full rack $999 again, you're a 20 amps, and then you get 29 I p addresses.
And so this is one of those things that you should be thinking about and realizing, you know, there's different.
There's different benefits and different costs for whatever it is that you're looking for.
If we go past that one of things to be thinking about again is the security of your equipment eso in this particular company quinyx quinyx Just to show you they offer some security for your equipment other companies might not offer s o.
They have private cages.
So build to order with space assigned based on the power allocation, that cannon quality quantity, mesh walls, demarcation racket patch panels, locking door a lot Iraq and five raceway up to first cabinet position.
We're up to 10 feet.
Security accessories included dedicated cameras and biometric hand scanners.
Right, So if you go with them, not only and they're going to build you the the fence and all that kind of thing.
But then you get dedicated cameras and things like buy a mentor, can scanners.
That might be good if you're dealing with compliance issues, cabinets again, steel frames with lockable, fully ventilated doors.
So this should be the pretty normal thing, s So that's your base level of security in any kind of these cold location facilities.
If you rent a whole rack, it should be lockable.
And then here you can actually have sweets again.
If you're gonna get really fancy customized areas fully enclosed by solid partitions, walls, doors, cable trays for power and cable security.
Petey use cross connects, runs to patch panel and designated cabinets.
So again, depending on your particular situation, you know, simply having a rack that has a lock on it, that might be fine.
Or, um, you might want a cage so you have a cage and that basically has a fence, and that might be fine.
Or you might want full physical walls around your equipment.
And so again, this is the different type of security options that different companies may or may not provide.
Then we can go over to co location.
This was just a curious one, this one.
I don't really know where they're at, actually pull them up on the Internet.
And I thought their pricing strategy was kind of curious, but otherwise I literally have no idea where these people are.
Like you click on pricing.
You just go down here and you click on home.
You're here.
If you get going contact again like that's a question like No, seriously, Seriously, what is their address and literally don't know where these people are.
But anyways, again, you can see here.
These folks have different options.
Have a start Iraq gig power rack and a 10 G duo rack.
So wherever they are in the world, right, $295 a month, you gotta lock in half rack 10 power 120 bolts, a C, 100 megabits per second.
Internet up, down under megabit per second, Beaky P four.
So these people will give you a B G p access.
And I talked about having their megawatt diesel generator back up power and something to be thinking about is the backup power of power fails first facility, and then something to look at here is they have a one time install fee of $500.
So again, things to be thinking about with prices is you may be paying for you may be paying for bandwidth may be paying for I P addresses what are set up costs.
These are all things you should consider.
Uh, for $500 a month, you get a 20 amps of power.
You get a full rack.
So this is $500 a month.
So this is left.
This is half the price of the last place you get a gigabit per second Ethernet up and down again.
You get the BT P backbone on that has a $600 installation fee.
And then for $3000 a month, you get dual locking full racks.
You would actually get to full racks, you would get 10 gigabits per second of bandwidth, and then you also install fee of $3000.
So, you know, depending on where the hell the world these people are, honestly don't know, like, I literally I have no idea where the hell these people are.
But, you know, again, that's a kind of thing that might be valuable for you.
So these are some of the options that are available out there, and so kind of the things to be thinking about if you're thinking about going with a co location facility, so those are some things to be thinking about.
If you're looking at co location again, the value of a co location facility is you get to have your own equipment so you physically own all of your equipment.
You can you can modify it however you like.
And basically all you're doing is you're renting space you're renting band with and you're renting power from the co location facility.
And so you can have full enterprise class equipment running for your comfort your company, even if you're literally just working out of the basement.
And so again, this is an important thing to think about in the modern world.
Like if you have your creating the next Instagram your created the next great startup company, right, you do.
You may be working out of your basement.
You may be working out of your garage, but you can buy, you know, enterprise class equipment.
Install it into a co location facility.
And as far as your physical then tech infrastructure is concerned.
You're you could be a world class operation.
And this is an important thing to be thinking about this modern world of technology businesses where again you can have a couple of grody geeks working out of their basement.
But their infrastructure can literally the world class because it doesn't matter where you're doing the physical work anymore, as long as you have the right type of equipment and it's being serviced in the appropriate way.
So this is something be thinking about again.
I do like a location facilities for a lot of start up companies.
Because when you start looking at cloud service is it is important to think about the price point for the different things you're going Be buying from cloud service is so to be clear, if you're gonna use a as your or AWS or digital ocean or anything like that, when it comes to compute and when it comes to data mix, database service is you cannot beat.
The price of cloud service is again pure compute on pure things like database service is a W s and azure.
The price point is just amazing, right?
Run your wet run your websites from AWS and Azure run all that kind of, you know, database stuff from AWS and Azure.
But something to realize is that when you start getting into data intensive tasks such as data storage or using bandwidth, So if you're gonna creating another YouTube atyour on eight of us suck, they suck the cost.
The cost for storage and the cost for bandwidth usage on things like AWS and Azure is brutal is absolutely brutal.
So if you try to spend up an alternative, the YouTube using pure AWS or is your infrastructure.
Frankly, you're going to go bankrupt.
I mean, there's just there's just not enough money out there, but something to be thinking about again, your Scientology or some other kind of sand or no as type equipment.
And for $100,000 for 40 for the initial outlay, it'll be expensive, but you can spend $100,000 to create a nice storage infrastructure.
You then put that into a facility that's gonna cost you a couple of $1000 a month, and now the upfront outlay will be more expensive.
But as you have users start actually using your service over time, the price were the cost to actually provide.
Service is to your end.
Users will be a hell of a lot less expensive if you're using against, like, co location, facility and your own equipment.
And so this is where you need to be thinking again.
And the whole idea of creating cloud based architectures well you need to really be thinking about is you know, what are your requirements?
You need to be thinking about costs.
You need to be thinking about regulations and all that kind of stuff, and then you need think about OK, what is the best way to build this infrastructure?
So my active directory.
So my active directory, my email service is that's all gonna just gonna be on my local lamb, right?
But then, for the actual websites, the websites from a company get for creating alternative YouTube, the websites, those we're gonna be up on.
Cloud service is eight of us, or is your something like that?
But then when I do a video in bed, that video embed is then going to point back to my servers in my co location facility, right?
And so that's where you start thinking about the these these these cloud architectures about how how you utilize everything most appropriately for what you're currently doing.
So this is why I say the idea.
The concept of keeping everything private on your own network now is idiotic.
But also the concept of putting everything up on the No, Chlo is also probably pretty idiotic, right?
You know, you look at these things, anything.
Okay?
How How can I leverage all of these different options to give me the best performance in the best price for whatever it is that I'm trying to accomplish.
And so that's where something's in an active directory, all that kind of stuff.
You'll keep that in your local land.
Possibly e mail service is sales force things like that.
Maybe that would be off often.
Office 3 65 You'll just rent those service's.
Then again, for your for your Web sites and all that.
You'll build some kind of cloud infrastructure.
But then you can have that cloud infrastructure and some of that cloud infrastructure.
Them points back to the servers and service is that you've created a cold location facility, and that's that's what your architecture starts to look like on that's when you start to conduce.
Um, really, really cool things.
So, as always, I enjoy doing this video.
Uh, and again, if you haven't looked at co location facilities, definitely take a look at co location facilities.
I'm telling you, I've seen a couple of startup company.
I've seen a couple of start up companies where, I swear, I swear, if they had just done the outlay on physical hardware and put their stuff into a cool location facility, I still think they would have been around but because they went pure eight of us, they went bankrupt because of course they did that a storage and bandwidth on AWS is brutally expensive.
So I knew I was with that.
We'll see you both later.
