Where can I move the server rack?

Question

Data center

Tell us about your experience of moving/positioning the rack outside the factory.
The authorities want to take server racks (4 pcs.) And take them outside. Which providers provide their services, except for Rostelecom? As I understand it, they work according to the permanent VPN scheme. They take away a server rack, set up and raise a permanent VPN channel. At you this server rack is shown as if in a local network, but those speeds which will be given out by the provider. Who else is doing this? Where can you get such information?
No need to ask why and for what purpose. It is useless to prove or explain something to a person who has already decided everything for himself.

Answer 1

In the days of cloud servers, colocation (a word from the late 90s) is likely to be much more expensive than transferring the entire infrastructure to virtual machines in the cloud.
And the person who has already decided, he knows that if the servers process personal data according to FZ-152, he, this person, needs to look for a service that is certified for this case (and takes extra money for it).
Another person should understand that the racks should have remote control tools such as KVM for all devices, because instead of a simple Vasya, who can run to the server room and press reset, a visit to the data center (especially working according to FZ-152) will be that fun attraction.
Or the reset will turn into funny correspondence for three days with technical support, which will end with the fall of the remaining piece of infrastructure and the unsubscribe "oh, we rebooted wrong"

Answer 2

Go to the DCs that you like. Read the terms of accommodation. Choose. Learn how to get connectivity to your equipment, which is necessary for this. Connect to the right provider, stretch or rent communication channels ....
In general, this is not decided here)

Answer 3

Good afternoon.
First you need to determine the migration plan, 4 equipment racks are not small volumes.
1. Decide on the conditions for data delivery to the DC.
This can be L2 VPN (the most expensive solution), here you can ask operators for VLAN or QinQ, L3 VPN (usually cheaper than L2) or via the Public Internet. (The cheapest) from both CapEx and OpEx costs.
2. Competencies of the operator. (hosting) and what tasks it will face. Most operators provide services in the form of KVM access and reboot. Although this is no longer relevant, since KVM is built in on modern servers.
3. Level of DC certification. - shows not only its UPTIME according to SLA, but also what types of work can be carried out by DC personnel without disabling client services. (Recommendation not lower than level TIER3)
In conclusion, I will say that building your own server room, buying uninterruptible power supplies, establishing 2 telecom operators, providing cooling and fire extinguishing systems is more expensive than renting a normal data center.
From my own experience, for 10 years in the DC for 900+ servers there were 2 fires in racks using argon fire extinguishing. The data was not affected.

Answer 4

Will you take you to Novosibirsk?

Answer 5

If in Moscow, then you can consider ITSoft. They have Tier II and Tier III. The last one is in the DataLine data center. I'm at their co-location (Tier II), satisfied.
