The facility located in Blenheim has now been closed. We can provide telehousing service in a server room in Auckland.
The cost of this service is $150 per month per server (computer) and this
includes all national data and up to 100 megabytes per month of international
data to/from the server. The server is allocated an IP number from the Mlb.Planet
Class C network.
For servers pre-paid at $250 per month the international data included in the
price is increased to 400 megabytes.
After this amount international traffic costs $400 per gigabyte.
NOTE: There is no installation charge for telehoused computers.
A telephone line connected directly into a serial port on a telehoused
server can also be provided. There is an additional charge per month
of $30 plus the Telecom monthly cost of the telephone line at Mlb.Planet.
This will be about $60 per month for a Centrex Business telephone line.
This gives a total of $90 per month for a private telephone connection to
a telehoused server.
Note that the customer can either supply the modem to be used at the Mlb.Planet
end of the dial up link or Mlb.Planet can provide a CTL rack mounted 33k6
modem for an additional $15 per month. CTL modems will be maintained by
MLB.PLANET.
Normally MLB.PLANET prefers to use a CTL modem for dial in connections to
telehoused servers. These rack mounted modems are very relaible and require
minimal supervision and almost no maintenance.
Telehoused servers are expected to require bare minimum supervision and
the hardware/software should be reliable and not require any regular
maintenance attention from Mlb.Planet staff. Servers should also be able to
automatically reboot in the event of a power failure.
If additional hardware items are needed to enable a server to reboot
successfully (eg keyboard) then these should be provided with the server at
installation time.
Access to cutomer telehoused servers is by prior arrangement. For security reasons keys and access codes are not issued to owners of telehoused servers. In an emergency access can be arranged but for normal system maintenance where a technician needs to get physical access to a sever then this has to be pre-arranged. Normally seven days notice of access requirements are needed.
Telehoused equipment must be insured against loss by the owners of the equipment. Evidence of suitable insurance arrangements will be required before a server can be installed on the Mlb.Planet local area network.
