Hi Chris, After a South Island DC, but it does have to stay within NZ for legal reasons.
When I said high end, I meant something more than the standard 1GB offerings: Need 1TB storage, 32GB mem, decent spec quad (v)CPU and 30GB/day of domestic traffic ( that sounds really high to me, given the application but that's what the net interface tells me ) to add a node to an existing cluster that is both geographically anc corporately (?) separate from the existing ones. We're after 2 internet facing, one backup and a spare node in the office ( fibre ) as the ultimate solution, but 3 of these nodes are currently in the same DC run by the same company. I also look after Amazon and (recommend where geographically valid) linode, and have had the misfortune to have to use Rackspace in the past... fanatical support my a*se. I also find Digital Pacific to be a decent company to use for dedicated stuff as well, and ServerMule to be an alternative cost-effective local provider. Just a happy user, no kickbacks here (: It's a difficult market to keep ahead of, and these are my current favourites. We should set up a freelance SysAdmin group (: Steve On Thu, 2015-02-12 at 17:01 +1300, Chris Hellyar wrote: > Do you mean with a datacentre in CHCH, or just a phone number? > > > > CCL infrastructure as a service and compared to off-shore offerings > would probably be at the highish end price wise. > > > > Other than that I don't know of any actually in CHCH that I'd consider > high end.
