@splitice what speeds did you get with these SD cards?

@splitice the main power supplies are certified - they are redundant industry grade 12V 80A power supplies. Then we have custom DC-DC converters (12V to 5V) and custom switchable PDU design (to be able to remotely stop / start the 5V power to each Pi), which is obviously not easily certifiable.

@Nett the USB stick is capable of USB3, but the Raspberry Pi is with USB2 port, so it would work in USB2 mode.

@splitice thanks for the ideas :) We've already thought about most of these points: SD card vs USB stick - my testing showed that USB sticks are faster. Also there were decent USB sticks available from multiple vendors, no such big choice for SD cards. And SD cards seem to have more...

@drmike i mean the calculation of the number of servers based on the electric bill. Was this an electric bill for a period when all the PA servers should have been in that place, or for a period before that?

@splitice guess what offer i posted a week ago :P

Maybe this was before the Scranton to Dunmore move? When did that happen?

So they are really doing the same as VolumeDrive - running with the servers that are not their and the lease has not been paid. That is stealing the servers from the lease companies. Unless of course their new owner purchased all that debt and that's how they became the owner.

I wonder what kind of equipment was leased there - was it servers, or was it equipment for the DC - like generators, AC units, UPS systems, etc.

So they are pulling a VolumeDrive?

The enterprise 1TB HDDs we currently use are Seagate Constellation ES.3, which are quite good and reliable. However enterprise 500GB HDD costs almost the same as enterprise 1TB HDD, so it almost never makes sense to get an enterprise 500GB HDD. On the other hand we could make something custom...

There is 7 day money back guarantee of course. If you don't like it you can cancel within 7 days and get a refund. If you tell me (PM) the exact configuration you like i can check tomorrow what we have in stock and we can talk. About the CPU - it should have more than enough power for this...

It depends what the KVMs are doing of course, but the G2030 is not a bad CPU. It's a dual core with CPU benchmark score 2985. You can see comparable CPU benchmarks here - http://www.cpubenchmark.net/mid_range_cpus.html It is also a CPU that is currently in production and sold by Intel, not...

We don't do unmetered or gigabit ports but if you nevertheless like any of our offers (check my signature), let me know. We do have native ipv6 and a /29 is included for dedicated servers, SWIP-ed to your name.

Do you need GPIOs? Or just a board with CPU and ehternets? How large form factor is acceptable?

An external IP KVM, like the Lantronix Spider?

If it will be the same two providers as in the current DC, what are they bitching about "network performance", etc. If they just reproduce the same thing in the new location, the results probably won't be much different. Granted some of their current customers will probably leave them so that...

@raj actually the USB stick is around $25, the Pi around $40-$42, other hardware and parts don't know... maybe $10-$15. We haven't really done exact calculation for the other hardware and labor needed to make it work, but it doesn't matter anyway.. The ROI should be slightly better than your...

I could add a second HDD of the same type (3TB SV35) for $20 / month more or $140 one time + $1 / month. But you are right, if you need more than just storage the Atom looks funny compared to an i7 from Hetzner or somewhere else.
