IX ports on LINX, AMS-IX and DE-CIX connected to dedicated server or VM

nkukard · April 1

Currently I have a dedicated server in London and a 1G remote LINX port terminating on a VLAN on a separate network interface.

I was looking to expand to AMS-IX and DE-CIX but sadly my provider told me they have paused offering services on AMS-IX and can only offer a 10G service on DE-CIX with dedicated cross connect (bit out of my price bracket).

I think my requirements are pretty simple...

I need dedicated 4 CPU cores, either a VM or a dedicated server
25G disk space, preferably SSD
8G RAM
2 x IPv4 addresses and /64 IPv6 range with umetered 1G
Ability to upload my own ISO and install my own OS via VM webui or IPMI
Separate unmetered 1G ethernet interface for the IX, I don't mind if the IX is delivered over a VLAN on the interface; alternatively a VLAN on a single 10G interface which the IP's are on

As one can deduce, I am peering as close to the exchange as possible and tunneling traffic back to my network.

I'm currently paying £120.00 for the 1G LINX port (incl membership fee), £50 for a E3-1240 v5 dedicated server with a 240Gb SSD, 16G RAM and £1 for the extra IPv4 address.

Can anyone recommend providers that can assist me with a service like this?

I'm waiting on a few that were recommended to me on another forum for over a week now to get back to me, but so far it seems many advertise services that seem no longer available.

Sounds like something you should discuss with @Rick

Rest assured that the two of us already got in touch :-)

Thanks for thinking about us.

We can do what you would like.
Pick any dedicated server config you want from the MyRootPW site or open a ticket for a custom quote on whatever hardware you want.

Example Server config below:

E3-1230v3, 32 GB Memory, 1x 500GB SSD (or 4TB HDD), 25 TB Traffic@1Gbit/s, IPMI Access, BGP Session,... .....35 Euro per Month

This already includes a free Crossconnect to FrysIX (min 1Gbit/s, max 10Gbit/s) depending on the dedicated server ordered.

Amsterdam dedicated servers can get a VLAN/L2 Connection to the MyRootPW eqipment in Nikhef (https://www.peeringdb.com/fac/18) priced per Gbit/s at 35 Euro Month. This includes a second drop/switchport linked to your server and one SFP+ Port in Nikhef. (Additional SFP+ Ports in Nikhef are 5 Euro per addtional Port per Month).

Costs for Crossconnects in Nikhef are a one-time fee and are priced at "supplier cost" + 25 Euro Administrative fee (One-Time/Non-Recurring). We usually get a good rate for this.

This will allow you to pick up any IXP or IP-Transit service available in Nikhef. See the peeringdb page: https://www.peeringdb.com/fac/18

So your example calulcation would be:

Server: 35 MRC
1Gbit/s VLAN to nikhef: 35 MRC
4 Switchports in Nikhef: (1 included, so 3x 5 MRC) => 15 MRC

.....Monthly recurring: 85 Euro

As always: Pricing excludes VAT, if applicable.

Let me know if there is anything else that i can assist with.

Forgot to mention. For uplink instead of per TB, we can also do 95th percentile billing if you know your traffic patterns.
