Any service provider that you can recommend appreciated.
We have multiple public IP spaces via the 10-20mb pipes on each of the
sides, however in iana I don't know that they are listed as 'ours', Im sure
I could get on that.
So obviously just getting a couple of devices isn't going to work for us, we
need to get a 3rd set of ip's which is where everything will be held and
then the devices will do the redirection behind it accordingly.
My attempt at ascii drawings:
Our IANA range
| |
Device1 Device2
/ \
Colo Primary Colo Secondary
Im making assumption that with bgp I could point our ip range over to the
different locations. I know what bgp is supposed to do but not something Im
overly familiar with.
Thanks

You need your own ASN, public IP network, and BGP; that's about it - or
someone who can provide those to you via services.
A number of geographically dispersed data companies offer those services,
but no, they don't come cheap.

Subject: BIG IP
Im looking for some global failover devices. These are the only guys I know
but in reading through their specs, besides being 20k, I didn't truly see
what was going to be required.
Basically I have 3 sites a primary and 2 failover locations (the company is
split into two divisions each one fails over to another locale)
I would like to be able to failover automatically to both. They are in the
same public ip subnet but just need routing to different areas.
I guess the overall question is what is required on our end to make this
scenario work, and is there something other than big ip that could
accomplish this successfully that I can research. At one of my colo's I see
a bunch of Coyote Points but those seem to be load balancers not really wan
failover type products.
I was also looking at global dns providers which apparently offer this kind
of masking service but I saw pricing from 1k-1.5k/month which doesn't make a
lot of sense either.
Thanks
