Year-Round Economizer Cooling
It’s just coming up on 04:00 in the morning here at Roller Network on a Saturday (we’re doing some off-hour line card insertions), and even though it’s summer in our part of the world the high desert climate of Reno still lends itself to suitable economizer cooling mode on our primary facility cooling systems every [...]
Celebrating 365 Days in our New Facility
A year ago on Nov. 22, 2009 shortly after we moved into our new facility with our then new UPS system, we experienced a generator fault that took our UPS offline. We’re fortunate that this incident took place early and afforded us the opportunity to fine tune our electrical system so that we can now [...]
The End of the Verizon Story
If you’ve been following our Verizon story, you know by now that we’ve been trying to get them to turn up a dual-stack circuit for over a year now. Last year on June 7, 2009, we signed an agreement for Verizon to deliver fiber to our premises. This allows us to offer our customers a [...]
Colocation Services Pricing
We finally have a page up on the main website for colocation pricing: http://www.rollernet.us/services/colo.php Following in the footsteps of doing something unique to stand out from the pack, rack space is free and we only charge for bandwidth and power. If you have an 80PLUS certified power supply in the server you want to colocate, [...]
New Circuit from Global Crossing
We have no idea why there is such a lack of progress with Verizon, so we ordered a short term 6M multilink T1 circuit with Global Crossing as a band-aid. While we are keenly aware that it has no hope of fully taking over from a complete failure of our high capacity circuits, the idea [...]
Verizon; Still No Progress
It’s been a while since we posted a Verizon update. The last time we had contact with them was at the end of December, and we recently learned that as of Friday (02-12-2010) that no progress has been made in re-provisioning the circuit to match what was ordered. The latest roadblock is that there isn’t [...]
AT&T Fiber Installation, Part 2
AT&T arrived this morning to pull the fiber. The next step is for for splicer to come out. Feb. 8 Update Feb. 9 Update AT&T is working at the last manhole in our parking lot today, so we’re guessing they’re going to be getting to our telco room shortly. Feb. 9 Update #2 AT&T came [...]
AT&T Fiber Installation, Part 1
The building we’re in was already lit with Verizon fiber, but we ended up having to accelerate our plans to install a secondary fiber entrance for an AT&T loop due to the continuing delays with Verizon. This time it involves some road construction. Ultimately this is a benefit for everyone because we have two independent [...]
Colocation, Hosting Delays, and the Holiday Season
If you’ve been keeping up on our newspipe you’ll know that the long story of delays with Verizon continues. We were informed yesterday (Dec 22.) that the circuit was ready, however it still does not need our basic requirements (IPv4/IPv6 dual stack). This is continuing to impact our ability to expand our colocation, dedicated servers, [...]
