Roller NetworkWe’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.
We recently noticed a problem with the “Mail” app on Android phones failing to send mail when the phone has an IPv6 connection (either via Wi-Fi or 4G LTE). The problem was traced to the Mail app sending an improperly formatted IPv6 literal in the EHLO command. We’ve updated our outbound mail service to account for this discrepancy.
RFC2821 defines and IPv6 address literals as such:
address-literal = "[" IPv4-address-literal /
IPv6-address-literal /
General-address-literal "]"
IPv6-address-literal = "IPv6:" IPv6-addr
The Android Mail app is omitting the “IPv6:” string in its literals.
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.
One question we’re frequently asked on tours is if our walls extend (or “cut”) past the false ceiling. The answer is yes; all of our walls extend the full height up to the floor of our mezzanine level, and the remaining overhead spaces are too narrow for someone bypass doors by going through the ceiling. At the same time, we do not permit unescorted site access.
Many times businesses will save money on construction costs by only building up to the bottom of a false ceiling, but since our facility is an integral part of our services we always opt to cut the ceiling. We also dress overhead wiring with d-rings even though it’s hidden.
