Depends on the level of facility you are looking for. Peer1 (www.peer1.com) will sell you just about whatever you need contained in a single box and I believe their Atlanta facility and some others have a managed SAN option. Since you want a customized solution, make sure you talk with one of their solutions engineers. Another good option in this range up to mid-enterprise hosting solutions is Host My Site (www.hostmysite.com). On the very high end of the spectrum, gni (www.gni.com) seems to provide a good set of infrastructure as a service (IAAS) solutions including SAN storage and very high bandwidth - historically they have been very successful in the MPOG world. If you are interested, I can put you in touch with real people who can help you at all three organizations.

I keep falling into situations where it would be nice to host a server somewhere else. Virtual host solutions and the mysterious cloud are no good for the ones I run into though, as disk performance is important for all the applications I have to deal with. What I'd love to have is a way to rent a fairly serious piece of dedicated hardware, ideally with multiple (at least 4) hard drives in a RAID configuration and a battery-backed write cache. The cache is negotiable. Linux would be preferred, FreeBSD or Solaris would also work; not Windows though (see "good DB performance"). Is anyone aware of a company that offers such a thing? -- * Greg Smith gsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gregsmith.com Baltimore, MD -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
