hey everyone,
My brother works in a datacentre and he was telling me the costs which are to follow. I was just wondering what you all think of them?
The datacentre is in Ultimo (Sydney) and has a few important sites hosted there - I'm not going to say what though because I don't want to jeprodise [sic] anything.
Extremely secure datacentre... my brother is bio-scanned everytime he goes in, there is a police check done on everyone who goes into the datacentre... the datacentre has back-up generators, a substation to itself, air conditioning for all the servers... the usual stuff.
Now, to buy a quarter-rack is AU$1300/month. This includes 1 network cable which plugs straight into the core of a major telecommunications provider here, power-points, etc.
You have to bring your own server, and install it yourself (unless you want to pay a fortune for their tech-guys to do it). You can go into the datacentre 24/7 (as long as you pass security).
It costs AU$0.17/MB for data
---------
Now, is this expensive? I don't want comparisons to US-based datacentres, I already know how much they are... I am interested in Australian-based datacentres. What can you tell me?
