[nzlug] Co-location

[Mathew Carley]

This has probably come up a few times before, but I need 
co-location/server leasing for a new service I want to launch in NZ. 
There will be almost zero international bandwidth, except for my 
administration requirements and perhaps the occasional security update, 
but (hopefully) a lot of national bandwidth.

It needs to be scalable - it would probably start out at perhaps 30GB 
per month but would need to expand maybe up to 3,000GB per month - ALL 
national traffic. I'd probably want to contract a LUG member for the 
admin tasks I can't handle from here: local configuration/installation 
and hardware stuff.

The Data Centre should be in a major city (Auckland, Hamilton, 
Wellington, Christchurch) - as I imagine most of them are. It probably 
would be a good idea if I was able to peer with Xtra too (as much as I 
dislike the idea) - I understand that they've moved out of APE.

As for server specs, I would need probably 1U with at least 120GB Hard 
Disk (or more), a reasonable amount of RAM and CPU, 1 or 2 IP addresses. 
All it really needs to run is SFTP, and SSH, some encryption software 
and maybe a couple of other services.

The server would be for storage, rather than WWW - all the WWW traffic 
would be handled by an web-server. I've already put the word out to the 
likes of Orcon and Interspeed (I think) a couple of months back - does 
anyone else have any ideas about whom I should approach? Jeremy - would 
Citylink do this kind of thing?
