If you were an original purchaser of one of the original Z+ low power pilot systems, and your account has not been credited please put in a ticket and your account will be credited $18 to cover 6 months of the Low Power 2GB plan, which has 4x the ram, 10x the storage, and way better IOPS than the original pilot systems.

yoursunny you can put me on the ipv6 wall of shame for a bit. I haven't re-implemented everything with IPv6 because IPv9 is hard.

  • Nice to see something different for a change. That HDD colo product is not something you see every day.

    Yes actually. Is it the best? No. Is it stable? Past year I've averaged about 98% uptime. So definitely better than a good share of providers I've used in the past when I was a low end buyer rather than provider.

    I've seen several companies tease it, then never go through with it. I understand a lot of the whys, it's mostly a manual intervention, and wrapping any sort of automation around that is a lot of time and effort. I've automated most of this process and with time will be able to get it down to a few short button presses.

    It's something I wish others offered, and decided I'd go through with actually offering it. During it's conception one of my good friends said "What happens if something catastrophic happens and you need to mail everything back?" That's how the setup fee came to be, as a way to create a permanent fund that only gets used for shipping disks back. The other thought behind it is that I was on the losing end a number of years ago and had to cancel a colo at the end of a term due to financial hardship. I then got surprise pikachu'd by an additional $160 invoice that I wasn't allowed to make payments on.

    Isn't 98% uptime like a week and somethinge outage per year? Thanks for your honesty, but this isn’t something to brag about :)

    I had a tractor destroy 5 miles of fiber in one night which lead to several hours of downtime. And you're correct, it's more like 99% because I've only averaged about 3 total days of downtime between my personal projects throughout the past year. Guess I should have done 362 / 365 and I'd have seen that 98 is a fair bit lower than 99 on the grand timescale of 365 days. One project had to deal with actual hardware issues and that took longer for shipping to get me a new CPU, not related to the rest of the rack or actual network connectivity.

    Glad to see you are back! How big is your commit with your ISP?

    10g line, 5g commit. Realistically I can get an aggregate of about 3g up/down on the storage system and the smaller nodes share a series of smaller pipes in the rack. I've got room to grow, and a second line on the way in March / April of next year if I need to expand further.

    What's the backup plans? What kind redundancy is in place in case of power outage?

    I have a UPS that covers about an hour of power, and beyond that an external generator is started to run the systems. One of the biggest upgrades planned in 2025 is an automatic generator with a few days runtime in addition to about 30kw of solar storage. (Enough to cover most of the larger outages that happen throughout the year)

    Network redundancy isn't a thing yet. I'm not big enough to be able to afford that, and honestly not sure I'll ever get big enough to afford it.

    I designed my systems with data integrity first, and data availability second, and it shows. It's not for everyone, but I do have some clients already on the non public side when we were running as private that use the systems for offsite storage. Often moving physical HDDs around to migrate many TB's very fast by mail.

    I hope to be able to offer up a tape library storage option in the future, but the chances of me getting my hands on a modern tape library right now are quite low.
