Re: Third Parties Who Run Windows Virtual Machines as Outsourced Service?

data space <> servers and the critical uptime that is required for such.
Your comparing apples to oranges.

$30 a day that includes the hardware to run your VM, the network
connectivity, the firewall, the ISP, the power consumption, the building
expenses, etc etc etc

I'm thinking you missed some critical pieces in your calculations :)

Maybe. Then again there are companies doing web hosting at $5/month for
hundreds of MB of dataspace, and who can imagine how they make the
economics
of that work.

Are there any ISPs who would take a virtual machine we supply to them
and
run it on their premises, occasionally stopping the virtual machine to
do
a
full image backup? We would access the computer by terminal
services.

I'm looking for this at a rate of under $30/month. I'm aware of
vendors
who would do this for $300/month, which seems laughable considering
they
could run 20 virtual machines on a $5K server. We figured our cost to
do
it internally on our own servers around $60/month per virtual machine,
so
I'm hoping someone out there has cheaper electricity and economy of
scale.
