Could you not simply approach your accounts manager at NextDC and raise a case with them to let you out of any pre-arranged commitments now that they are offering no contract periods? Wouldn’t that be the first thing you would attempt?

Web hosting talk is full of people doing no contracts.

All this means is that the providers like us who have space in next dc and are committed now lose out to people who can join with no contracts?

Apologies... but is this AusNOG or the NextDC/Megaport PR list?

Alternately, if someone can enlighten me as to the operational relevance of these kind of posts (given this release in particular is hardly major news; other colo providers have been doing no-contract deals for years), I'd be most appreciative.

Regards,

NEXTDC first-to-market with pay-as-you-go colocation

BRISBANE, Australia – 17 November, 2014. NEXTDC Limited (ASX: NXT), Australia’s leading Data-Centre-as-a-Service provider, today announced the launch of their FastStart colocation bundles, offering customers a 30-day contract option with remote management capability.

This minimal commitment pay-by-the-month option gives customers a faster way to access the full benefits of NEXTDC’s enterprise-class colocation services and Cloud Centre ecosystem to develop their hybrid cloud solution.

>From a 1kW Quarter Rack up to a 6kW Full Rack, FastStart offers a flexible and customisable colocation bundle supported by the same resilient data centre infrastructure and customer services as traditionally purchased colocation.

“Businesses are demanding cloud-like flexibility from their data centre service, and NEXTDC is fulfilling this need by improving and expanding our range of industry-leading products and services. The introduction of FastStart reflects our commitment to maintaining our position as Australia’s most innovative data centre provider”, said NEXTDC CEO Craig Scroggie. “FastStart radically accelerates speed-of-access to enterprise-grade colocation and our Cloud Centre ecosystem, giving customers the opportunity to hybridise their IT strategy with future flexibility.”

Paired with NEXTDC’s NXTech Smart Hands service, FastStart bundles mean customers’ entire service with NEXTDC can be ordered and maintained remotely, from receiving deliveries to building, operating and managing their infrastructure. NEXTDC Project Management services also assist with planning and managing a migration project or other major infrastructure changes.

This combination of customisable colocation and on-the-ground data centre expertise makes FastStart attractive for SMEs without their own expert tech staff; offshore organisations wanting to establish an Australian presence; organisations unsure of their upfront colocation requirements; or those needing to rapidly deploy IT infrastructure in any of NEXTDC’s facilities.

NEXTDC racks come ready with ID access cards (IDACs) for 24/7 data centre access, and can be monitored remotely through NEXTDC’s award-winning data centre management portal, ONEDC®. ONEDC allows users to manage their entire service with NEXTDC, across multiple facilities, from any web-enabled device through a simple, easy-to-use interface.
