Someone said there are like 10 000 orders now for Kimsufi servers. They are still accepting orders and taking money but they are not even processing the orders since last Friday. They are pending manual check. Ovh said though that all will get their 3 machines max. It can take 10 days until they start processing orders again. My mini SPs havent been delivered either although there is stock available. What kind of company cant get their orders fixed in 4 business days without impacting deliveries of higher end servers? They're frozen.
They either have all the parts and racks for those, or ways to get them fast.
if they manage to pull 10k KS in a week/10 days, a big bravo to them.
If they don't, it will become just ridiculous.
However, I believe most of those orders are either cancelled already or do not qualify in the new conditions, many ppl order just in the hope it will pass somehow.
i mean the OVH
it was bad to only EU resident may order it
wasting time now
I know. But it was kind of funny. There are no OVH representatives here, let alone anyone who makes decisions of that kind.
@maounique 5000 this week and rest 5000 in 20 days, they can install 10,000 per month I think
10K per month max? This means it would take whole 3 years to fill this entire datacenter (with capacity for 350k servers).
Where'd you get 10k per month from? I doubt it's that low but if you have a source then that is interesting.
Ah, well. Popcorn-time.
@lycide they installed 7000 servers in November 2012, I guess that was their busiest month so far. Oles has tweeted that they install 5000 KS servers this week and another 5000 in 20 days.
I dont think a lot happens during weekends for server setups so its about 10,000 - 15,000 servers/month max at GRA location.
It can't be that low, surely. 5000 over 20 days is 250 per day. Assuming a working day of 8 hours thats only 30 an hour. They say their techs can build new servers in 20 mins so that makes only ten staff building new servers. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that seem a bit low?
Unless they're out of stock on parts, of course.
It isn't low. It's not just about assembling the servers. You have to rack them too. Then run cables. Perform some tests (hopefully). It all adds up.
Until they invent some robots that can build / rack / connect servers automatically, it can be sped up only so much. Oh wait, i think these robots were already invented - it's called virtualization.
@lycide each setup is tested for 5 hours before giving to customer
Didn't know that applied to kimsufi too.
The 10 staff building new servers surely wouldn't be the same ones installing them, right?
@lycide it does apply, the hdd had power on time 5 hours for new installs on kimsufis
so expect late orders to take 20 days instead of 1-10 they say
Ok.
You can imagine they are giving priority to more expensive orders, I did not say they install 10 k servers in total, i was referring to 10 k KS of the 3 Eur/mo kind, all in one dc.
And that is if we consider they have all the parts ready which I doubt very much.
I think they should have done it the opposite way, ie, slowly drop the price from 10 Euro and slowly increase the sales, now they have a big backlog and all the tickets/phone calls/tweets/etc causing them grief.... I bet African children dying of hunger do not make this much fuss as some of the people have made in the other thread! It's ONLY a server, if you don't get it it WON'T kill you.
my order cancelled .how to order ovh 2 euro server?
@ttsaon move to the EU.
Or wait for a while, they promissed (and some people seem to believe this is true) to open this offer to non-eu people too.
Anything we don't know why OVH won't open up Kimsufi orders for non-EU?
@ska they might decide to open it up, if/when they have more stock than orders.
I added yesterday a 22 Slots TF2 Jailbreak, 37.187.0.127:27021 atm 10 Players on it and get daily more so you can check this if you are interested.
Update: 22 slots are working well
