Need a 2nd datacenter quickly?

By mhalligan on Mon, 12/01/08 - 8:26pm.

I've found myself working on a fun project. I'm helping a customer figure out what to do with their datacenter. It's a pre-built environment for a service that's being shuttered. There are options for us to sell off the equipment, or to find somebody else to take over the environment.

Servers:

- Qty 80 (approximately) IBM x3655 servers each with 1 dual-core Opteraon 2218, and 2x 73GB 10K SCSI drives with hardware raid1 (Memory configs currently unknown)
- Qty 02 F5 BigIP 6400 configured for HA
- Qty 02 Cisco 6509-E with Sup720s, 3x 100MBps 48-port blades each
- Qty 02 Cisco 3550-48 switches
- Qty 01 Internap FCP (I believe the 500)

Right now we're open to options, which may be liquidating the environment, or building this out as a DR site for a customer, or turning this into a couple of build to suit hosted LAMP environments.

It's an incredible value, but it's true!

Hi Michael,

Can you email me a guideline price? Would be interested in purchase, and potentially open to purchase + colo.

Thanks.

Anon, I'm not quite sure how

Anon,

I'm not quite sure how I would go about emailing you. Could you provide some contact information?

Michael
