Looking for colocation in NY or NJ

Hello, I’m looking to establish a POP in the area with the purpose of connecting to exchanges (DE-CIX, Equinix New York, NYIIX). I’ll need access to Lightower or Level(3) for transport back to Springfield (1 Federal St), & Boston MA (1 Summer St). I’ll need a cabinet, 208v power, planning

Re: Console Servers & Cellular Providers

We get static IP's to facilitate monitoring that the OOB remains online (easier to hit a non-changing IP than getting false positives for outage between an IP change and DDnS or whatever other type of update needs to happen), and it also makes IPSec VPN easy if your roving sysadmins know what

Re: Console Servers & Cellular Providers

Static IPs are useful for connecting to the "home" site. If our main office is offline for some reason, it is nice to be able to quickly connect via cellular OoB. I agree that other solutions (dial-home, or private network) make sense for satellite sites. thanks, -Randy - On Feb 7,

Re: Console Servers & Cellular Providers

Lots of references to static IPs from cellular providers for OoB access in this thread. Why? It seems like a dial-home scheme is an obvious solution here, whether it's Opengear's Lighthouse product, openvpn, or whatever... Do you all have a security directive that demands whitelisted IP

Re: Console Servers & Cellular Providers

I've been pretty successful doing this with VZW as they were the only ones that I was able to get a static ip from fairly easily. Talked to tmo and sprint a few times and their people would say it was possible but could never get it done for whatever reason. It works well as long as you have good

Re: Console Servers & Cellular Providers

Yes. I use Opengear with great success. I use Verizon, T-Mobile & AT prepaid service depending on the area. When integrated with Opengear Lighthouse, the console server is fully manageable via cellular service. Kenneth > On Feb 6, 2018, at 6:34 AM, Michael Starr wrote:

Pretty bad bordering on unusable most of the time (steel and concrete buildings after all). I'm only setup in buildings we own, so I've been able to put antennas up on the roof for this. At our more remote sites where there's no cell service at all I have POTS lines. KVMoIP is a bit painful at

Re: Console Servers & Cellular Providers

Going to depend entirely on the data center. I've got OpenGear boxes deployed in a variety of places, using Verizon LTE with static IP. One Level 3 colo I'm in I had to buy a high gain directional antenna to get the signal strength up above -80, where below that you're lucky to get a

How is cell reception in multi-story data centers/carrier hotels? Good enough for remote management? JM

Re: Console Servers & Cellular Providers

We use the Oopengear ACM and IM series and they are great. My only current issue is that Verizon does not allow for static IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously. You can have one or the other, but not both. *facepalm* One major point of advice with the Opengear: make sure the firmware is up to date.
