    Can you offer reallocation? I live in Europe.

    It's pay per job = probably not even $100/month

    Sorry currently we cant offer reallocation as its only pay per work type of job.

  • A tech on a pay per job pay that is stationed at a dc is going to be hard to find why not just use the dc workers if you are with psychz.

    Doesn't need to be stationed at the DC, if he lives near the DC that's more than enough.

    Are you implying that Psychz will allow you, as a customer, to hire a third party to be given unsupervised access to their racks?

    Because, if so, I find this disturbing enough that I would migrate out as soon as this week. Please confirm if you are hosting with Psychz and this is the case. For the moment, I'll assume that your request has not been approved by them.

    They need to be on your authorized persons list and it is supervised. Thats how it is in LA.

    Sure hope so. I figure if they don't have staff at Dallas then access would be unsupervised, could be wrong about procedure. I'm just scared to death of the idea of some stranger that doesn't work for the DC or the company that owns the servers walking into a cage and left to their own devices.

    Fully agreed. I prefer paying the premium prices the DC has and hire them rather than send some 'freelancer' type person to work on my devices.

    There's no lax security at Carrier-1. The security is rather high. I've been to that facility many times. You must have authorized access plus a valid ID. Customers are then escorted to their cabinets/cages which are then unlocked with a key by the onsite NOC technicians. Only the customer can add individuals onto the authorized access list. That includes employees, contractors, etc. which I suppose is standard procedure for most data centers.

    Our techs will be supervised with one of their staff , be real please for god sake no DC facility will allow you into their rooms without supervision.

    The customer has control over who can access their own cabinet and/or equipment. Also, they only authorize access to customers with a half/full cabinet. I can assure you that there's nothing shady going on at all and nothing out of the ordinary. The carrier-1 facility is top notch for the price in my opinion.

    Staff of companies who have cages can enter without someone standing over their shoulder. I don't understand why walking around with someone and standing there while they work wouldn't cost the same as remote hands, unless they treat you as staff of the cage owner. Feel free to enlighten me. Psychz doesn't have staff there so I'm interested in the idea of third parties accessing their racks, as a customer who values data privacy.

    @BharatB: Temperature 40° C and rising. Prepare for a desert storm.

    Damn, loved that song when I was 18. Still, don't tell @Jarland what to do. The last one who did is now playing with lions in a huge arena. And only the lions are having fun.
