Regs:

if you're on a fibre connection already, then you should easily be able to get a bigger pipe - typically with just a config change.  If telstraclear dont give you a good price for a fatter pipe then talk to another ISP.  I used to have a telstra fibre connection with CallPlus as the ISP and that was a lot better priced that using telstracear as the ISP.  I believe that Orcon and others can also use telstraclear, telecom and vector fibre connections.

Callplus does route via the new Microsoft Peering Point at APE so your latency to singapore will be in the 120ms range and performance should be decent.


Thanks yeah we are on TelstraClear, shouldn;t be a problem getting a bigger pipe as we have done it a couple of times with them in the past and yeah its a config change.  Our problem is our firewall/gateway is heavily loaded so need that replacing as well as its causing a bottleneck so we dont get our full internet speed anyway thanks to the hit on the http proxy we have.  TelstraClear are pretty expensive anyway so we will be shopping around this time.

Thanks for the headsup on CallPlus too.

compost:

No local servers = no local staff to admin them. Assert that you can't get any more bandwidth in this backward part of the world and get an exception for NZ. Better to be inefficient than unemployed


Ah we'll still have lots of local servers, no worries about that.  We have about 100 VMs on vSphere which I admin as well and these aren;t going anywhere, it would just be Exchange that would be going cloud.  We would still be keeping AD local and also some local fileservers for the large files which dont need to be cloud based.
