Backupsy dumps Colocrossing :)

[drmike]

Well I sniffed this with some migration emails.   Backupsy (one of Oktay's/Serverian's) better known brands seems to have dumped ColoCrossing at all locations.  Previously I believe they were CC in Buffalo, Chicago and perhaps Los Angeles.

In the United States, locations and providers now are:

Chicago with Atlantic Metro

New York with Atlantic Metro

Dallas with Cloud Shards,

LA with SupremeBytes 

Orlando with Hostdime

Perhaps Oktay will grace us with his presence and explain why the change happened.

 

[MannDude]

What about all his other brands? Guy has like 34 different brands. (Exaggeration.... but definitely 5 or 6 brands, haha)

 

[HalfEatenPie]

I believe Dallas is with Incero?  

At least that's what I understood it as.

That's a good news. Now i can buy backupsy. :lol:

 

[texteditor]

Now Oktay just needs to rollout IPv6 across the board

Hehe, me too!

We got mentioned here. Hi.

Me three.

I think the correlation here is that you gain business by choosing more wisely your upstream.

I think if more people pulled out and there were more diverse options the industry would be better. No shortage of CC hosts, so no one lists them as a criteria. Lots of folks have the criteria of anything but CC... so go for it. Dump them.

This is very interesting. Many seem to have issues with ColoCrossing. Anyone care to explain why?

Tee hee...  Too bad the withdraw method didn't work for Mr. Biloh.

Leaving Buffalo pretty much made it so we're ~sold out on the east coast. Prior to that we had probably 200+ vm's unsold.

One thing I learned yesterday is that NJ doesn't have the 80% fire code laws like most states, which means we gained an extra 2 - 3A of power w/o having to pay for it. With that we're throwing a storage node and 2 more KVM nodes online.

Leaving CC literally put more money in our pockets.

You can start with this:

Wash that down with these visuals and ensuing dance routine:

Did you miss how ColoCrossing underhandedly stole Lowendtalk/Lowendbox and converted it from a community website to a purely money making crooked market that benefits them?  

Then there is the routing issues due to round robin routing among their providers with how their network was engineered.

Then there are the many front/shell companies.  

Of course you have the multitude of companies like say Crissic (mentioned in one of the threads) that can't get proper BGP setup out of CC.

Then you have CC squatting on 400k+ IPs...  All in this ARIN regulated 80% consumption day and age....

Feel free to ask for clarifications.

Interested in hearing why CC got dumped this time though... Very interested since I saw a lot of consolidation, selling of good owned gear, etc. by Backupsy.

That might be one of the reasons for dumping  ColoCrossing and Incero, both of which have been promising IPv6 "soon" for a few years.

Orlando with Hostdime

UK is also HostDime.

No shortage of CC hosts

Obviously not, you have to scroll way down to #284 to find them http://hostcabi.net/top_500_hosters

I have no clue why Incero is knuckle dragging on IPv6....

As for ColoCrossing, as we found out in other threads and discovery, those old a$$ routers/switches/top of rack devices they have in multiple locations are not IPv6 compatible.  So until they upgrade such and overall their setups IPv6 isn't happening.

Did he move Backupsy out and move GetDedi in?

Good catch there

Those Intel 520's are fingerprint of CC's own servers.

Meaning, I would think these are lease/rental servers perhaps under contract from CC. 

Hehehe, here we go....

I think he has servers in another Dallas facility as well as Incero. Not sure though.

Does anyone really use IPV6 in production? I mean until all carriers get on board globally there really isn't a benefit in having IPV6 other than the fact people want it so they can ping google IPV6.

It's not about it being used in production it's about it being available. If all the customer wants to do is ping google then they should be able to.

I think that's the way forward.

People used to say there's no use for 1GB of RAM. It's about providing it. People will make use of it when it's available. Our job is to facilitate not to coach and restrict people.

IPv6 available here.
