Tips and Advice on Starting VPS Host Company in the Denver Area
I am looking into starting my own VPS (w/HA) host primarily for businesses in the Denver area and I would like to get some advice on what Im about to dive into here.
Just a quick background on myself. I have 15 years experience as a Systems Admin. Much of that in consulting where I have been in everything from wiring closets to various data centers for both small and large companies. Ive been lucky enough to work on some really neat stuff. Most of my time has been spent in RHEL and VMware environments. I also know my way around a LAMP stack and have created a handful of my own programs. Enough about myself.
Now I would like to get into the cloud hosting game. I think I have the right hardware to build a extremely high performance, highly available, Hyper-V cluster. A few questions:
1. Any advice on landing my first customers despite having zero track record?
2. Is there demand for full SSD systems or would I be wasting my money?
3. Anybody have experience hosting Hyper-V (2012 R2) w/ System Center & Azure pack? Any thoughts on this solution?
