How to know when a data center location is not a good choice 

Consider a data center location inappropriate if it fails to meet the following criteria:

  • Latency Tests: If ping times consistently surpass 30 milliseconds (ms), this does not align with OpenMetal’s standards for contemporary cloud and hosting requirements.
  • Geographical Proximity: If the location is significantly distant from the main user group, this could introduce additional delays.
  • Infrastructure Quality: If the local infrastructure is inadequate in capacity or quality for ensuring low-latency connections.
  • Connectivity Choices: If there are restricted or no direct links to major internet backbones or networks.

OpenMetal’s data centers, positioned in Tier III facilities with robust connections to key internet backbones, ensure that infrastructure quality and connectivity choices are up to standards. OpenMetal advises opting for locations where the latency, or ping time, is below 30 ms to support modern digital services. Given that the latency from Sacramento to our Ashburn center exceeds 70 ms, this location would not be suitable for colocation or hosted IaaS solutions catering to Sacramento City.

OpenMetal’s Los Angeles facility delivers low latency, with an observed 16.383 ms maximum ping time from central Sacramento. After adding an extra 5 ms for the last mile for less central locations, the maximum ping time is 21.383 ms, which significantly lower and better than the recommended 30 ms threshold, ensuring blazing fast speeds and minimal latency. Hence our Los Angeles location is the recommended choice for Sacramento colo, bare metal, hosted applications and cloud services.

These ping times indicate that this could be a good co-located data center for dedicated servers and private cloud for Sacramento businesses that are located in central Sacramento and that need to host applications that require high speed and low latency like online gaming, stock trading, or video streaming.

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 72.109/72.141/72.164/0.241 ms

OpenMetal recommends ping times of less than 30 ms. Because the latency speed between Sacramento and OpenMetal’s Ashburn data center is more than double that, we would not suggest this as ideal choice for Sacramento colo needs.
