We’ve added the Apple Mac Mini back to our colocation page on the main website.

The original news post is here, but the quick summary is: you get space for one Mini, IPv4 subnet on a private VLAN, 3 Mbps of commit, and a remote control power outlet.

UPDATE: Minimum commit included with all colocations is now 5Mbps with 95th percentile burstable as an option.

Roller Network is pleased to celebrate our two year mark at our Reno, NV facility on November 22, 2009. Over the last two years our facility has successfully carried out its mission of providing a carrier-class colocation datacenter service to the Northern Nevada region in addition to our worldwide customers who rely on our classic mail services.

Thank you to all of our customers who continue to support us: it is because of your support that we are able to continue to maintain our facility to such standards.

Roller Network will be observing the Thanksgiving holiday on November 24th and 25th. During an observed holiday technical support response times may vary depending on the service level. Our next regular business day will be on November 28th.

All power to full racks will now be provisioned with 20 amp 208 volt three phase service with a three phase PDU. The pricing and power offered will remain the same, but the upgrade from included power will now be a “soft” (billing) change rather than requiring the outlet and PDU to be physically replaced. We feel that this will cover the vast majority of full rack power needs. Upgrading to 30A three phase will still be a “hard” upgrade requiring a a 30 amp circuit and PDU to be installed.

Half racks will remain a 20 amp single phase service due to space restrictions: the three phase PDUs are full rack height while the single phase models are half-height. This allows us to pre-populate racks with the most common power and PDU configurations rather than waiting until the time of order to see if a customer wanted single phase or three phase power to their rack. The net benefit to our customers is faster half rack and full rack availability.

Roller Network provides PDUs and power cords with our colocation service since we use circuits and voltages that are not commonly offered as standard features for most colocation providers in the United States. We provide the infrastructure, you provide what goes in the rack. Roller Network makes it that simple.
