BluegrassNet offers full Data Center capabilities in both Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky. Our Data Centers offer server colocation on a per machine or per data rack basis.
Connectivity to the Internet is via multiple Gigabit Fiber and Wireless connections run across Cisco infrastructure and supported by a professional engineering staff. Support services are available upon request.
Monthly service fees start at $99 per month.
Pricing is based on three core components: the space required to colocate your servers, bandwidth requirements, and power requirements.
Server Space:
- We will sell colocation space for rack mount servers "by the u"
- There is a flat rate for tower servers, which get shelf space
- We will sell 1/4 cabinet, 1/2 cabinet, and full cabinets
- Do you need more? Then we also will build cage or floor space to your specs
Bandwidth:
- BluegrassNet has multiple Gbps connections at our main facility
- We can provision any increment up to 1 Gbps on your ethernet port
- Bandwidth is priced on a "per Meg at 95th percentile" unit of measurement
- There are discounts for commitments on larger blocks of bandwidth
- Specialty routing considerations are possible, just ask
Power Considerations:
- The facility has Leibert Battery Backup and N+1 Diesel Generated Power Backup.
- Server Colocation customers have a choice of bringing their own batteries or using BluegrassNet's
- We will build circuits larger that 20A as needed, or per your specifications.
- Entry level colocation is provisioned on shared circuits with other customers. Private circuits are available if you would rather have that.
Special Considerations
- There are skilled BluegrassNet System Administrators in the same building as your servers, and they're just a phone call and steps away if you need hands and help. These are not just Level 1 Tech Support, but also experienced and extremely knowledgable Unix and Microsoft Engineers and Developers. This way any emergency situation can be dealt with if it arises.
- The BluegrassNet Data Center is operating full-time, and you can arrange to access your servers at any time.
- The facility is a secure facility, all persons entering must have postive I.D. and prior permission from the server owner.
- There is a system maintenance area available for you to work on your servers should you need bench space.
