I want to do hosting, the essence is ...
Actually, a bottle of beer, and then other, more high-octane drinks, came up with a crazy idea, compared to which Manilov simply smokes in the corner.
So, on Habré already often enough slipped thoughts that if you are doing business in Russia, then everything is possible, and especially sites and servers need to be placed abroad. So I came up with this idea:
And what if we organize a data center somewhere where our ever-vigilant, protecting and protecting bodies will not reach - say, in the Cayman Islands, and provide a server for rent for enterprises in Russia?
One solution, for example, is:
The client is rented a server, physical (more expensive) or virtual (cheaper), running a thread of Windows Server 2008 R2, with a pre-installed office suite. A client (or rather clients — a company can have many users) connect to the server remotely via RDP and do everything they need there. As a result, if masked people EXTREMELY rush in - it is enough to pull the switch - and look for the wind in the field: the server is all in Caiman, in the office there are only “thin clients”. After the “mask show” visit, new “thin clients” get out of the basement and continue to work as if nothing had happened. Well, apart from this, you can also adminit all the servers themselves - in this way, saving the client from having to keep a sysadmin in the state or use an outsource. Of course, the cost of licenses for all software will be included in the rent, most likely for MS software, this will be the SPLA (Service Provider License Agreement). Well, of course, you can rob a cow - as without them?
I see several weak points:
1) It will cost just unreal money to build your DC, most likely you will have to start by renting racks from local colocation providers.
2) I am a techie to the bone, in economics I have always been “satisfied”, and therefore even approximately estimate whether this whole delusional venture will pay back theoretically, and if so — how long - I can't :(
3) In any case, even if you do not build a DC, you will need money, a lot of money, and you have to find it somewhere else. Whether it will pay off is still a question.
')
Well, now - like in the bearded joke “And now - they drank!” - you can explain to me why I am an idiot and my idea is a complete bullshit. Since all this was written under the action of C2H5OH vapor, more precisely probably not C2H5OH anymore, and CH3COH - please treat accordingly, and it is too painful not to beat. Everything was written just for fun, with the goal of communicating in private conversations with the rich community.
