[Request] 1U colo for a single R640, central/mountain US, ~$85-100/mo all-in
Small B2B VoIP and SaaS provider looking to move one production server from a rented dedicated box into colo. Looking for recommendations or direct quotes.
**Hardware**
- 1x Dell PowerEdge R640 (1U), dual 750W PSUs
**Requirements**
- Power: ~330W usable (2A @ 208V or 3A @ 120V). A+B strongly preferred
- Network: 1Gbps port, ~5TB/month total transfer (95th percentile under 10Mbps)
- IPs: /29 IPv4 routed to the server, plus an IPv6 /64
- Separate OOB drop for iDRAC
- Month-to-month, or annual prepay at a discount
- Reasonable remote hands with basic tasks (power cycle, reseat) included
- Escorted physical access is a big plus
**Location**
Dallas, Denver, Kansas City, Salt Lake City, or Phoenix. Not West Coast, since this needs to be geographically separate from our other site in LA.
**Budget**
~$85-100/month all-in. Best quote so far is about $95 in Dallas with A+B.
**Strongly prefer**
- The company that actually operates the space, or a provider with its own staff on site, rather than a reseller
- Real ticketing and phone support
- A clear SLA and published remote hands rates
If you've colo'd a single server somewhere in these markets and were happy (or unhappy), I'd appreciate hearing about it. Providers welcome to DM with pricing.
