Comments:
<0> we generally dont do fees for new colo aside of a small fee for getting everything set up
<0> ip's/routing/switchport/space/setup power and all
<0> none of that gouging I see
<1> to put things in perspective we charged 50 thousand per month to do 24/7 enhanced monitoring on a pool of about 1000 servers
<1> 55k actually
<0> and if its a good customer we dont even bother
<1> and all we did was look at a screen
<0> hell, nagios notifies us =D
<1> are you guys billing for power yet?
<1> hehe nagios is *nice*
<0> well
<0> power is included for our colo dedicated pricing
<1> we just started rolling some nagios servers out.. i'm really super impressed with it i wish we used it for everything
<0> if its a cab customer, they pay for cab+power
<1> BadtzMaru: <company withheld> is recognizing the trend toward more rack-dense servers
<0> who isnt =)
<0> but more rack dense = more power
<1> we're starting to get them to commit to power in 1000 VA units
<0> and power is usually more of a problem
<1> and unfortunately as time comes by our capacity will max out
<0> yep
<0> lots of people are having that problem
<1> so we have to actualyl call people if they just installed a new box that pulls 5000 VA more than they should be
<2> Mmm nagios.
<0> as everyone built out with the 120v 20a model x # of years ago
<1> we have nice software to look at this stuff. i can pull up historical data on any server right through our online ticketing interface
<1> i don't think that's accurate anymore
<0> now people want to do 30a 208vx3 per cab and no one can do it
<0> heh
<1> haha
<1> 208v is annoying.
<0> I love it
<1> it means we have to run special circuits
<1> and it takes one of our guys to come out and run the line
<0> we can double our 'high power' servers with 208
<1> our facilities guys are amazing really when i look at our systems in a hole -- (mind you we also own build and operate datacenters) it's staggering
<0> this is why I like dealing with equinix
<1> the guys that design these things must be super rich
<0> I drop ticket to install power
<0> its done 24 hours later =)
<1> yeah BadtzMaru =) i get to look at it from that side too
<1> i really like where i'm at
<1> i'm actually moving into systems engineering soon i think. that's quite the promotion
<1> are you aware with SE & the kinda industry?
<0> I kind of have background input on stuff like that now
<0> vaguely
<1> yeah.. sales/engineering mostly
<1> design
<1> i don't know 100% what the position does but i'm going to have to check it out
<0> yeah
<0> see
<1> i'm looking for new work soon.. relocation is out
<1> but the salary i imagine will be pretty up there
<0> once you say sales to me I dont want to deal
<1> yeah i understand
<0> I can do it, I just dont want to
<1> our sales guys do the selling
<1> our SEs do the building
<1> planning.. big picture stuff
<1> our provisioning does the rollouts
<1> and our noc does change management/troubleshooting/monitoring
<0> right now our se's just do customer coordination and stuff
<0> upper management still truly does infrastructure
<1> as in whole-company infra?
<0> rollous kind of depends
<1> or per customer
<0> oh
<0> per customer depends
<0> most of ours do their own
<1> we have internal guys to take care of our core and IT
<1> we have an XTR even
<0> if they need help it depends on what they need help with
<1> right
<1> i might hav eto move to toronto/brampton for this job though
<1> that's a big personal move
<0> eh
<0> I moved and Im happy
<1> and it's moving into the deep technical realm of where my career is going
<1> away
<1> actually i meant
<0> I need nicotene, brb
<1> but it's kind of higher and closer to eventual director/management long term career
<1> okay gimme an o: line while you're gone k? *hug*
<0> heh
<3> sartan? u around?
<1> yeah sclord
<1> what's your status
<3> i reinstalled windows
<1> that was fast
<3> clean windows, enter the internet
<3> same problem
<1> wtf. that's weird
<3> (fast pc :)
<3> sur eis
<3> sure is
<3> no what?
<1> maybe it's time to call your ISP. i'm 100% clueless on what you should do
<3> maybe a security problem of winxp /sp2?
<3> but can it be an isp problem?
<3> a modem problem maybe?
<1> i don't think so..
<1> maybe hardware too
<0> something that did what you are seeing would be all over the place
<1> but.. weird
<1> yeah BadtzMaru i was thinking that
<1> you're isolated sclord i haven't heard of this before
<3> anyway, what progs can i use so that i am positive that i won't get anything from the net?
<1> windows xp firewall will suffice
<3> besides ms antispyware, spybot, adaware?
<1> especially for a dialup user
<0> common snese
<1> oh.
<3> i am to change to a dsl soon
<1> just use XP firewall, antispyware, and AVG for your antivirus
<0> very few malware type programs install themselves
<3> avg=?
<1> you don't need spybot or adaware
<1> avg is an antivirus
<3> what about on my dsl?
<1> free.
<1> what about it?
<3> is xp firewall enough then?
<1> yes
<0> yes
<0> and not clicking like an idiot
<3> hm ok then :/
<1> i think i downloaded some 'sploits the other day.
<0> using ff will also prevent lots of tomfoolery
<3> anyway, time to install all the shjt again :(
<1> was getting some porn off of bitorrent and scarily enough 'nothing' happened when i viewed it
<1> but i didn't see any weird paylods in vim + hex. usually these things have plaintext words
<3> later ppl
<3> thnx
<0> I should try to get back to sleep
<0> tomorrow = busy day for me if I can get up early
<1> i get tomorrow off after working 20 days in a row without a break.
<1> looking forward to it =)
<0> last 2 days for me might as well have been days off
<1> get busy
<1> or get on irc
<0> meetings and such =/
<1> -motto
<1> meetings ****
<0> and if my girl is incoming soon I dont want work following me home
<0> heh
<1> preggers?
<0> nah, just havent seen her in a few months
<1> oh wow. that's a long time
<1> i'd have trouble being away from kristin for a week.
<0> ld relationships ****.
<1> my room mate just broke up with her LD boyfriend
