XS4ALL Crazy Colo Night history

At the last Crazy Colo Nights of XS4ALL we wrote a little history. It seems we were the first customer ever to bring their server for immediate placement! :-)


That’s actually the first dedicated Rails server of my company!! We’ve already placed a second server there and we’re planning a full migration to XS4ALL in the near future. These guys know their stuff! Check the other photo’s of the colo nights.

  • Slow news day? Working hard on Andrew’s website I presume? :p

    Just kidding…

    Still bringing Dell boxes running Debian instead of <a href="http://www.apple.com/xserve/">xserves</a>?

    Only Ubuntu Server for us so no reason to pay the premium for Xserve’s, even if they come in Intel flavours these days!<br/>

    Oh ah, Andrew’s site.. yes, working on it :) <br/>

    Dude, you’re sweating (in the picture that is) ;-) btw, speaking of dell vs xserve: how in the hell can I connect to xserver using a *free* RD tool? (no ssh client)

    Apple Remote Desktop? Unfortunately that is <b>not</b> a free product! Install OSXVnc and be done with it. The guys from XS4all can take care of that for you.

    sweat? where? :)

    I know, hence the word *free* ;) 300U$ for a simple connection is a bit tad. Anywayz, I was refering to the sweat on thy forehead, it must be blazing there!

    Cheerio – Siem

    So, ask the guys @ XS4all to install OSXVnc on the Xserve, then you’ll be able to login with any VNC client. Either that or they should fork up the $300 for you :)

    XS4ALL is contractually obligated to keep the temp. in a specific range, I think it’s somewhere between 15-25 c. If the cooling towers give out temps rise to 40c in about an hour (or so I was told), quite a bit of the colo fee actually goes to the cooling installation! The sweat is probably more from my excitement ;)
