    You have seen only one side of the coin, several other factors corroborate for us to choose East Coast, thank you for the comment.

  • what other factor? If you didnt care about pool result why keep asking the pool result?

    East Coast won, servers are going there.

  • justvmjustvm Member, Patron Provider

    The poll results were only one factor and we did care about it, unfortunately, more than 500 people saw the thread and only 10% voted.

  • Asia optimized LA?

    Yes, Asia is very important and was taken into consideration too. Actually, we have servers in LA to attend Asian customers.

    East coast, all the way through to Dallas / Kansas City would be OK. We are expanding our dedicated server requirements and as we are in the Caribbean, west coast is too far for us, but CHI/MCI/DAL is still OK.

    If you do central USA, you might serve both East and West Coasts, and CHI/MCI have been gaining on popularity quite a lot for that same reason.

    Would definitely be interested in E3 servers for video transcoding, 9000+ passmark, CPUs with Intel QSV preferred (e.g. 1245,1275 v's). PM me please once you are up and running and have the E3s available.

    ... and other than @AuroraZ, I think we're all sober. How the hell is this even a concept that made it past the first post?!

    As you’ve been asked, what were the other factors? Show us why you’re not a numpty who made a business decision effectively on the toss of a coin.

    Also, you’re confusing page views with unique visitors.

    As you have asked here we go:

    Contract-MSA-SLA-TOS

    Infra structure

    Security

    Redundancy (Power, Net, cool, etc..)

    Compliance

    Uptime

    Disaster recovery (East and West Coast have issues)

    Sales offer:

    cabinet power

    IP address

    Bandwidth

    extras

    remote hands

    and so on...

    I believe that it is a little more than location, location is one of the factors that we took into consideration.

    Also, you’re confusing page views with unique visitors.

    I don't know what is the metrics that LET uses on the forum what I see is 10/1

    I believe that it is a little more than location, location is one of the factors that we took into consideration.

    So then, if all those were a consideration, you already knew which location you were going for before the poll. If that’s the case, why the poll?

    Or, both locations came out even on the factors mentioned above and so you made the decision based on the poll results.

    Also, you’re confusing page views with unique visitors.

    I don't know what is the metrics that LET uses on the forum what I see is 10/1

    The page literally states that the measure is ‘views’. You could even test it yourself by viewing the thread a bunch of times and watching the count rise. But instead you decided it was an entirely different metric altogether.

    I’m not sure you should be allowed to leave the house on your own, let alone run a business unsupervised.

    In a bit of a muddle now, right?

    What I don’t understand is that if you thought deciding on a location by forum poll was a great idea, why did you back off a make excuses rather than defend it?

    @nekki, I did not back off. it was a part of the whole thing that I thought it was good to ask

    So the poll was essentially just a means of marketing your new range of servers ahead of time?

    @Nekki, not at all, we have servers in the West Coast that are not performing good and before we close any contract we decided to check on the survey, actually we expected to have more participation that would give us a better view. We had great offers from West Coast DC but analyzing all of them, West and East, and the factor that fewer people asked for that location in conjunction with not great performance on the West Coast we decided.

    So if you’d have had the same amount of responses, but West Coast had come out ontop, what would you have done?

    @Nekki, about a day ago I asked the moderators to close this thread, I don't know what are your intentions but it is time to stop and we can exchange popcorn in another thread

    My intentions are to understand your decision making process, I’m more than happy to do so via PM if for some reason you don’t wish to be transparent with your potential customers.

    This isn’t a ‘popcorn’ thread by any means, and the fact you seem to think it is speaks volumes. So far I’ve asked you a bunch of fairly reasonable questions based on your participation in this thread and you’ve attempted to evade or ignore them.

    If you’re unwilling to provide answers, just say so and I’ll leave you alone, it’s not like you’re duty-bound to provide the information.

  • justvmjustvm Member, Patron Provider

    I will talk to you on PM soon also don't misunderstand me popcorn was only to lift the humor.
