Bare metal, colocation and IP transit

Bare metal servers, colocation and IP transit are not on the dashboard's order pages or in the API. You buy them from the sales team, who write a proposal for what you need. The products you can order yourself, such as Cloud Compute and App Deployment, are in Order a service.

Bare metal

A physical server that only you use. The Enterprise page describes it.

Colocation

Space, power and cooling in a data centre for hardware you own. The Enterprise page describes it, and Data centres and locations lists the locations where we have servers.

IP transit

Internet connectivity for your own network, over a BGP session with Coritan, so you can announce your own address space. The Enterprise page describes it. To announce your own addresses, send the sales team your prefixes and a letter of authority (LOA) from the organization that holds them. We announce them from your own network number (ASN) or from ours, and our routers refuse a route that the authorization does not cover.

Send an enquiry from the contact page, write to the sales team at sales@coritan.com, or call +1 (302) 606-0504. Say which product you want, where, how much capacity and from when, with anything else your setup needs. The sales team replies with a proposal and its price.

The Enterprise page has a Talk to sales form. Choose the product under What you need and describe your setup; the page then shows a reference for your enquiry.

Each service you buy this way has its own service agreement with the Coritan company that provides it, and that agreement sets any service level agreement (SLA) (Legal terms and policies).

Choose a compute product compares the two products you order in the dashboard.

• Choose Cloud Compute for a virtual machine with its own operating system and full root access (Cloud Compute).
• Choose App Deployment when you want us to install and run the software, such as a game server, or to build and run your own code, and manage it from the dashboard (App Deployment).

Both work the same way in these respects:

• Both are billed by what they use when you order them on your own account (How usage billing works). A plan you ordered before keeps its billing cycle, or its hourly price (How hourly billing works). A web service on App Deployment is billed by what it uses too (How App Deployment is billed).
• An instance or a deployment keeps the size you ordered. For a larger one, order it and move across (Get a different size).
• An instance can hold several floating IPs, and a server one (Floating IPs).

• You cannot order bare metal, colocation or IP transit in the dashboard or through the API.
• BGP sessions, private peering and cross-connects are arranged through sales too (How the Coritan network works).
