Arubacloud looking glass/test IP/files

miau

I plan to use their service but fail to find any form of network performance test.

anyone know any test IP/files for all their servers?

quick

welcome to the arubacloud support desk.

All i can see is admin.dc1.arubacloud.com as a test ip (for pinging only), replace dc1 with dc2-6 for different locations. Traceroute them to figure out which dc is which location.

yeah yeah i know.

I tried the live chat, but apparently no one is there to attend me.
I could probably get faster answer here than waiting for the ticket.

no, just ping those hostnames as test ips for their locations.

Their france cloud has IPs from 185.35.64.0/24 and their czech cloud from 85.255.0.0/20

For $1 per month asking for the test files before buy just rude. Order then test by self

I dont know what you are talking about.

Aruba has 6 different datacenters. On witch are you interested to? Maybe I can run a test speed and a benchmark for you. (I have services in Milano I)

I can max out my home connection on the US west coast to Aruba's UK location over OpenVPN all day long. They are more than awesome for the EUR 1 you pay per month.

Dear Customer,
please be aware that we do not have official adrresses to test, moreover, the connection latency can vary due to many factors, the distance is not the only.
As a courtesy, I provide a list of IPs belonging to staff test servers, please take this infomation as-it-is, without guarantee
Please also remember that Cloud Smart servers can not be migrated from one datacenter to another.

Send me the money it costs to spin up a VM in each of the locations you want to test and I will setup some temporary looking glasses for you. :P
Would be easier (and cheaper) for you though, to just opt for the hourly payment and try everything for just a few cents yourself...

Cant do hourly payments on those 1 euro/month servers. Cant migrate them to a different datacenter either.

Sure, I know. But in which way would that affect his network related tests?

Hmmm, strange. I did. Twice. (I started in Italy but the network there was too shitty)

That's not migrating, that's destroying the old vm before the lease is up without a refund, and then paying full price for a new one. Nothing migrate-y about it.

WSS

Still, a whole euro to do so.. you are aware it's VMware based, right?

ucxo

I was wondering the same thing a while ago, so I rented a few of their hourly billed extra IPs in each datacenter and checked the subnets.

The extra IPs can't be assigned to the 1€ servers, but as far as I could check they're from the same subnets as the 1€ servers.

Here's a test from a 1€ VPS from arubas czech DC

UK_LON 2954 kBps
AU_MEL  470 kBps
IN_CHE  435 kBps
DE_FRA 5099 kBps
IT_MIL 2855 kBps
FR_PAR 2141 kBps

US_WDC 1003 kBps
JP_TOK  483 kBps
RO_BUC 1344 kBps
GR_UNK  760 kBps
NO_OSL 1203 kBps

and here from their french DC

UK_LON   75 MBps
AU_MEL 2019 kBps
IN_CHE 2487 kBps
DE_FRA   63 MBps
IT_MIL   42 MBps
FR_PAR  103 MBps

US_WDC   10 MBps
JP_TOK 3433 kBps
RO_BUC   11 MBps
GR_UNK   12 MBps
NO_OSL   24 MBps

Notes: The test from Aruba FR came from 185.35.64.xxx and the Paris target was in 159.8.64..xxx. The test confirms that at least in Paris (under optimal circumstances) port speed is really 1Gb/s
