Server colocation in India (co-location)

Hi.

I am looking for a place to host some servers at a colocation facility in India. Preferably in Hyderabad, Bangalore or Chennai.

What are the companies offering colocation at those cities? What should I expect to pay? Is there something like 100mbit/s unmetered available, or should I not expect it?

I have been looking a bit at international routing. Bharti(Airtel), VSNL(Tata) and Reliance(FLAG) looks interesting, they service all the smaller ones. Does anyone have contacts for putting servers at their network centers?

What about Internet Exchanges in India? Are there any such? If yes, is it possible to put servers there?

What about local departments (eg. I am in Nellore) ? BSNL/Reliance/Tata local offices - do they offer such? (And if not, does anyone have experience with approaching them for such service anyway? *Cough*Bribe*Cough* )

Lots of questions, hope someone has answers

Cheers,
Blomma

In my point of view i can suggest you to go for u.s servers........they are far better than the indian server

Their response time are far greater than the indian servers .........this is due to inferior network quality here.....they have a great uptime data transfer speeds, which indian network don't posses..

I think you got something wrong. Inside India, response time is much better than if the traffic has to go by USA. All the major ISPs in India exchange traffic. (Eg. I have BSNL here at home. It is <100ms to Tata, Reliance, Airtel, Ernet, but >200ms for Level3 which is one of the best connected in USA).

Also you talk about servers. Why are servers in India worse than those in USA? Our servers are from SUN in India, it is the same servers that can be purchased from SUN In USA

The "problem" is anyway, that I already have the servers (in India). We have been running service from multiple ADSL connections (8x1Mbit/s) for some time now, but they are now maxed out.

The price looks interesting. But, Delhi is too far away, if servers break down :-)

I will try to contact them if they can provide somewhere local also (its a Wifi ISP, is that correct?)

Can't stop laughing....

Now WHOM do I repo....????

smoothy for bringing it to ma notice or birender for that excellent shorthand

Anyways thanks for the fun.. this' afternoon waas turning out to be boring.. you ppl made ma day ..:lol:

Some of the major corporations that own datacenters or servers are:

1. VSNL
2. BSNL
3. Reliance Integrated Data Center
4. MTNL(not functional anymore)
5. Cyquator-An Essel Group Company(the popular Zee TV group)

I would suggest you to try with Cyquator or Reliance

Links:
http://www.relianceidc.com/products/...colocation.htm

Be prepared to pay exorbitant prices

I found now that BSNL publishes their prices on the web (I'm not allowed to post links on the forum for some reason, so no link)

4000Rs/mo for 50GB traffic, and 5000Rs/mo per 1U. It is not too bad. I wonder if these are negotiable prices? Otherwise my 4U and 100GB traffic will go at 20.000Rs/mo :-(

Less than other data centers, but 5000Rs/mo more than what wifi4india charges with un-metered 25Mbits (according to singh-is-king's post).

Anyone knows if the prices are negotiable at BSNL IDC?

I found a few more data-centers online who publishes prices.

All are around 20-25.000 Rs/mo for 4U rack-space and 100GB data transfer. BSNL offers only 10Mbit ports, while those who are based on VSNL (Tata) data-centers offers 100Mbits ports.

100GB traffic is almost everywhere worth 5000Rs. It sounds strange, since my BSNL 256kbps line at home can create 165GB traffic per month if maxed out, and that costs only 750Rs. I guess on average I use around around 50-60GB/month on it, still much less than 2500Rs (price of 50GB at data-center).

Oh well, these prices are actually not so bad. I will continue to look, but I think it is acceptable for the business with 20.000 INR/month, hopefully I can find someone who will give discounts.

Does anyone know people working at a data-center, who can give inside price lists?

Cheers,
Blomma
