Someone has been spending time at Equinix.

Ha! “Surprised”? Well, offering OOB for a reasonable price could be a
differentiator for the savvy colo providers, but bean counters say: “Huh?
If customer X wants OOB, they can pay ~$300/mo for a cross-connect”.
~$300/mo might seem an exaggeration, but not for some of us. Even ~$150/mo
is ridiculous.



If 4G-ish mobile service won’t work, expect to pay. ;-(

I have routers in both 60 Hudson St & 1 Summer St and I’m looking for some
low cost bandwidth options for out of band management.  Currently I have
Opengear boxes at each site with cell modems but they don’t work too well.
I either need to replace them with new cell based devices or find a
wireless/ethernet bandwidth option.   I only need a couple serial ports and
ethernet for when everything breaks.



I’m in DR space @ 60 Hudson and the Markeley MMR @ 1 Summer



I’m surprised OOB bandwidth isn’t a feature for colocation providers.



Thanks
