Any news on the system where we can use our own Windows 2003 license in the sign up process ???

Either that or can we simply contact support to get this done manually ?

Basically, what do i need to do or contact

Many thanks in advance

grr

can you give a shell access on virgin's IP with traceroute command ?
I need to change some BGP announce to get the traffic thought Linx
and block it thought DTAG, but without looking glass from virgin
network, I can't do it.
No shell access on this home pc Oles.

If you can email me or pm details i can run it from a command line

My pings are absolutely fine most of the time, its just the download speeds that have been slow lately, not latency problems.
The request timed out tho doesnt fill me with confidence

Speed issues seem to have been solved now tho Oles as my friends server is giving me the normal 2.35MB/s on 1 connection

-- The datacentre Roubaix 1 is nearly full, we still have a few spaces.
We will start to use Roubaix 2 in 1 or 2 weeks. Everything is
almost ready. To begin with, 4 rooms able to accommodate 20,000 servers.
If Roubaix 1 is now full, would this be the reason some of us our now experiencing slow speeds when downloading from OVH servers located in Roubaix 1?

Is Roubaix 1 at full capacity with regards to bandwidth?

Many thanks Oles.

Any updates on international orders?

05-09-2008, 10:13
Good morning,
Some news in bulk:
-- After the start of the range "revolution", delivery times are
very often 1 hour on the range "Kimsufi." By cons, we have more
struggling to keep pace ordering on the range "SP / EG / MG / HG". The
Sales were off thanks to excellent configurations that proposes
on the "revolution" with a compromise and quality / price found. We are
always on the levels of 200/250 servers per day but earlier in the
range. And therefore we adapt current production at the controls. We
will take a few days to properly determine the quantities to produce
each day.
-- For the moment, we maintain a limit of 2 servers per month per customer.
It is believed that from late September, we will be able to remove any
by delivering a 1 hour all references and whatever
the quantity of controlled servers.
-- We have finalized the development of the subscription. It will be mandatory
Kimsufi for customers who wish to maintain the monthly payment.
To unsubscribe, it will be enough to send us a letter AR, 15
days before the anniversary date. Thus, we can cut the
server on the anniversary and the lease to a new customer a few
hours after the end of the contract. But above all we know 15 days in advance
the quantity of servers not renewed and adjust the amount of servers
to produce each day the quantity of order. Now we know
J +10 if you can not or lease the server. We lost 10 days of billing and
production is not really suited to your orders. It is expected to start
subscription today or next week.
-- Starting Monday, new customers will receive a letter by mail
in order to validate their first order. This elongated achieving the
1st command 1 hour 24/48h working. But after all
Orders will be validated automatically. The blocking of Morocco will be removed
Monday or Tuesday. Then, as soon as the system is "stable", we will
send the letter of validation to all customers who placed the order these
3 months, then 6 months and 1 year and then ... 10ans. The goal is to automate
the realization of command for all our customers and ensure deadlines 1
whatever time the customer, regardless of its connection and the type of payment.
Currently, we validate all orders manually and when
certainly the evidence we ask the clients. Entering the lives of our
Customers disturbs us very much, but more importantly we lose time and it complicates
relations. It is believed that the letter for the 1st order is the best solution.
-- We decided to take a few more days to start
resellers. Indeed, the contract is more complicated to establish that
has planned. We wanted to put a lot of innovations in the relationship
between the end customer, the dealer and Ovh, it must define it correctly.
It is hoped to start within a few days entries for resellers
agents and white markings, with reverssements then the rest in October.
-- The datacentre Roubaix 1 is nearly full. We still have a few locations.
The start of Roubaix 2 should be done in 1 or 2 weeks. Everything is
almost ready. To begin with, 4 rooms accommodation for 20000 servers. The
total capacity of datacentre is not yet fully known, but should
more than 100,000 servers.
-- After the 1st generation of 2004 with GreenCooling (cooling liquid)
and after the 2nd generation of 2008 of the EcoSalle (coupling cooling
with liquid cooling without air conditioning in the hall), we are going
test of the 3rd generation datacentre environment. We'll talk about it
very soon because we decided to unveil our technology.
Indeed, so far we see regularly tests of some of our
competitors in the cooling liquid and all these tests remain experimental.
The cooling liquid is not simple to implement in an environment
Industrial but this is not complex neither. Just open the bonnet of a
car to see a liquid cooling technology that works ...
Our technology has 4ans, walk on over 40,000 servers and a 3 datacentres
It enables us to be cheaper than all our competitors for one simple reason:
it consumes less energy. Our datacentres overheat less land and
require fewer natural resources to work. It is time that these
technologies to be used more broadly in the context of datacentres,
medium term because it will not be possible otherwise. The cost of energy
is already the 1st bill and a host increase in the years to come.
-- We ended the 2nd part of DC1 in Paris and is now the datacentre
operating at 100%. We install new customers since the beginning of the week
respecting the waiting list. The DC1 in Paris should be within a few meets
Dozens of weeks. If you have housing needs, please contact us.
-- We have plans to start a DC1 in Roubaix. And innovate again. Indeed,
we want to develop a new technology hosting berries
and stop using a wall of buildings for physical security, but simply
40-foot containers with 2 fences 4m high the tower and an entry "sas bank."
The idea we came the day when we received the 1st generator: it is
arrived in a container. Since we have 4 containers (2MVA each) on our
ground. Sun offers more than 10 years since containers servers. So why
not for miniDC? We will start the construction of a DC1 to Roubaix
develop technology and offer our customers the North. Depending
the customer's home, we will deploy technology across Europe
and a speed of madness (3 days to install a miniDC anywhere) ... or we
are using the DC1 in Roubaix for our own needs (the backups for example).
-- The establishment of the network "ChtiX" is moving slowly. Much more slowly than expected.
But we almost finished Londrès (with 5 datacentres), Brussels (with 2 datacentres)
Amsterdam (3 datacentres), Paris (with 8 datacentres) and Frankfurt (3 datacentres).
We start next week the deployment of the loop and the South East to know
Madrid, Milan, Zurick, Prague, Vienna and Warsaw. We have teams on the spot
since our subsidiaries will manage Madrid Spain, the subsidiary of Italy will manage and Milan
Zurick and a subsidiary of Poland will manage Prague, Vienna and Warsaw.
-- We increased the capabilities of our network with +2 x10G on Linx (Londrès), +10 G
Teleglobe (in Paris and then transported to own directly in the datacentre), +10 G Global
Crossing (Londrès), +10 G Level3 (Amsterdam). Our datacentre Roubaix is a 4ms
of Londrès, 4ms Amsterdam, 4ms Paris, Frankfurt and 12ms of 1ms Brussels. For
European accommodation there is no better. In terms of security of the connection we
2 have separate links to the South (between Roubaix and Paris) and 2 separate links to
North (towards Londrès and Amsterdam / Brussels) with suppliers of transit and peering
on 2 sides. The total capacity of our network and increase depassé 300Gbps.
-- The host went about apache 2 in its entirety. The data are
copy currently on the new SAN. 60gp is done. 90plan nearing completion.
We will begin 240plan. We will propose innovations in terms of storage
and bandwidth soon as everything is copied. You can for example visit
your site up J-2 weeks, just http://. This is just one example ...
-- We will interconnect with France Telecom for the collection of votes from
next week. There is for 4 weeks of work. It is believed that all mid-October
operations are completed. We are the same types of project with all
incumbents in Europe to make the collection of votes in each country.
It is complex, it takes time, but we'll eventually get there. The success of our offerings
a test range demonstrates that there is a real needs in telephony cheap
of excellent quality, without echoes, scalable from 1 to 100 posts, but mostly controlled by
24h/48h. You get 24 hours working the telephone, connecting to 3 minutes, and it works.
-- We are closer to 40,000 servers leased and 1,000,000 domain names under management.

Yours
Octave

Good morning,

Some news in bulk:

However, we have more of a struggle to keep pace with ordering on the "SP / EG / MG / HG" ranges. we sold a lot of servers thanks to the excellent configurations that we propose with the "revolution" range with a good value for money that you cannot find anywhere else. Usually we sell between 200/250 servers a day but we are selling at a higher rate now. Therefore we are adapting the production to the orders.
