Hampshire UK - Co Location Data centre

We have been offering a very flexible and leading Co location for 15 years and we're always looking to improve.

Historically Data Centre space is sold on power and space, this had two down sides. Firstly you'd have to buy your space in advance often limiting future expansion and creating a high point of entry , Secondly you'd often run out of power before you ran out of space or visa-versa

From January 2012 ServerHouse will be offering rack space on a power only basis, you pay for the power you use and not the rack space. This means you have a low cost of entry (very low fixed monthly costs) and you pay only for the power you use.

The offering

You'll recieve the same level and co-location service as other ServerHouse clients including

  • Dedicated indidvual, secure rack cells

Prices

Here are some example prices

47U £164.50 50ppkW/H 3TB £475 £80

Small print

Min charge is per month and based on 7kW/H per month per U

Bandwidth is billed on the monthly total throughput, payment is monthly in arrears

Power is billed on the monthly total, payment is monthly in arrears

Maximum power is 2kW after which is becomes cost effective to change to our normal package

Payments are taken by DD on the 10th of each month

Advertised pricing is based on a 12 month contract

Comparing us

We don't know of any other providers offering this pricing method so it can make our service hard to compare

A 47U rack with 4amp's is capable of 920watts, if you used this supply 24x7x365 you'd use 660kW/H per month ServerHouse would charge you £330 per month. Use less pay less, use more pay more.

A 11U rack with mimimum usage (0.5amp) and 1TB of bandwidth would cost £209.25 over a 12 month term (set-up + monthly / 12)
