Book a call

Thirty minutes with someone who has racked the thing you are buying.

No discovery phase, no deck, no follow-up sequence. One call, a fixed half hour, and at the end of it either a written configuration or an honest reason we are not the right host for you.

  • 30 minfixed, and we stop on time
  • $0no card, no obligation, no trial to cancel
  • Any hourthe line has no out-of-hours branch

Most people do not need this call.

That is not modesty, it is the fastest route to what you came for. Three of the four reasons people ask for a call are already answered on a page that is open right now, and reading one takes less time than waiting for a slot. Take the call when the answer depends on something a page cannot know about you.

Where the half hour goes

Four movements, in this order, because each one is useless without the one before it. Choose what you want to talk about and the call re-weights itself — that weighting is what we read before dialling.

  1. 5 min

    What you are running today

    What the machine does, what it is on now, and what is wrong with that. The most useful thirty seconds of the call is usually the sentence that starts “the reason we are moving is…”.

  2. 10 min

    The shape of the machine

    Sockets, memory, how the disks are arranged, the port, the addresses, which city. This is the part where a person is genuinely faster than a form — the questions worth asking are the ones you did not know to answer.

  3. 10 min

    What it costs, and what would change it

    The figure, the billing cycle, and honestly which parts of the build are carrying the cost. Also what it would take to grow later without moving — memory, disks, a second processor and a faster port are all fitted to the machine you already have.

  4. 5 min

    What happens next, with dates on it

    Who does what, by when, and how you get the configuration in writing. If the answer is that you should not buy anything this week, you get that too.

Write the request

Three answers and it composes itself. Nothing here is sent anywhere until you press send in your own chat window or mail client, and nothing is stored on this page. It is a request, not a confirmed booking: a person replies to agree the time, usually the same day.

1What should we cover?

Pick as many as apply. This is what re-weights the half hour above.

2When suits you?

Your timezone, detected from your browser and editable. We work to your clock, not ours.

3How do we reach you?

What a half hour is and is not good for

Both columns are the same promise from opposite ends. Knowing the second one is what stops the call being a disappointment.

Worth the call

  • Sizing a machine for a workload you can describe but not specify.
  • Several servers that have to talk to each other, in one or more cities.
  • Sequencing a migration around a date you cannot move.
  • Addressing, port speed and what the network does under real load.
  • Whether a management tier is worth buying for what you actually need done.
  • Purchase orders, invoicing and the paperwork a company needs before it can buy.
  • Being told, by someone with no commission riding on it, that this is the wrong purchase.

Not what this is

  • A benchmark of your workload. Nobody can run that from a phone call — order the machine and test it inside the refund window.
  • Writing or porting your application. That is engineer time, and it is bought as a management tier rather than promised on a call.
  • A multi-week discovery process with a project manager. There is no such thing here, on purpose.
  • A quote for hardware we do not run. If the honest answer is another provider, you will get it in the first five minutes rather than the last.
  • A pressure call. Nobody phones you back three times; there is no sequence.

Who is on the other end

The same people who answer at three in the morning. There is no separate enterprise desk and no queue you get promoted out of — the company is small enough that the person quoting your build is the person who will be told when it breaks.

Call the sales line and an assistant answers immediately, on any day at any hour, and asks what you need. Say you want a person and it rings 9 desks at once for 60 seconds before it will even consider a queue. That is the whole phone system: no menu, no extension to remember, no “press one”.

Trading since 2004, from 2 offices — New York and Bucharest — with hardware in 5 cities. Calls are in English. More about the company, and every other way to reach us.

And then what

Three things arrive, and none of them is a newsletter.

The configuration, in writing

What was agreed on the call, itemised, with the monthly figure and the city. Written down so you can send it to whoever signs, and so we cannot quietly change it later.

A link that opens prefilled

The order page with exactly that machine already in it. Account and payment happen there, on your own time, with nobody watching.

Silence, if you want it

No sequence, no second call, no “just circling back”. If it is not the right week, say so and the thread stops until you restart it.

Prices are not on this page on purpose. What a machine on the shelf costs is on pricing, what a build to order costs is on the configurator, and both move through the day. A call is free; the server is not, and neither figure belongs beside the other.

Questions people ask before booking

How do I book a call with Server Room?

Use the composer on this page: choose a day and a time in your own timezone, say what you want to cover, and send it — by live chat, which is open now, or by email. That is a request rather than a confirmed booking; a person replies to agree the time. You get a calendar file for the slot straight away, so it is in your own diary while you wait. Or skip all of it and dial +1-917-284-6090, which is answered at any hour of any day.

How long is the call and what does it cost?

30 minutes, and nothing. No card, no trial to remember to cancel, no minimum spend to qualify for it, and no obligation of any kind at the end. We stop at 30 minutes unless you want to keep going — a call that runs long is usually a sign the first five minutes were skipped.

Do I have to book at all, or can I just call?

Just call. The sales line has no out-of-hours branch and no time condition in it, so it behaves the same at four on a Sunday morning as at eleven on a Tuesday. Booking exists for the opposite problem: when you want a particular half hour protected, or you want to send the question ahead so the answer is ready when the call starts.

How far ahead can I book?

Up to 60 days. Beyond that, send the request anyway and say when — a date two months out is a project, and a project is worth a note in a calendar rather than a form.

Will I be talking to a salesperson or an engineer?

Both, in the sense that they are the same person. The team that quotes builds is the team that runs the hardware; there is nobody here whose only job is to sell. That is why the call can answer “will this actually work” and not only “what does it cost”.

Is it a video call or a phone call?

Whichever you ask for. Say “phone” and we dial the number you gave; say “video” and you get a link. Most of these calls are better on the phone, because the useful part is a conversation about your workload and not a screen share.

Can I bring a colleague?

Yes, and it is usually worth it — the person who knows the application and the person who signs for it rarely being the same. Name them in the request and they get the same invitation.

What should I have ready?

Three things, and none of them takes preparation: what the machine has to do, what it runs on today, and the date you need it working by. If you have a current invoice from another provider, have it open — comparing a real bill against a real configuration is faster than comparing two marketing pages. The composer on this page builds the list for you.

I have a support problem, not a sales question.

Then do not book anything — support is answered around the clock by chat, phone and ticket, and a scheduled call would be slower than every one of them. The support desk and the direct numbers are both faster than this page.

If the answer is on a page instead

Each of these is the whole answer to one question, and none of them needs an appointment.

Read up on us first, if you would rather

Nothing on this page is a reason to trust us. These are: strangers with no reason to be kind, and a company record that predates every claim on this site.

Server Room is operated by Data Room, Inc. of Long Island City, New York, with Data Room SRL in Bucharest. Trading since 2004.

Half an hour, and you will know.

Whether it is the right machine, the right city, the right week — or the wrong company. All four are useful answers.
