@VirMach Hello. I wanted to know why one VPS goes through cogentco, and the second through twelve99, although both are in amsterdam.
because routing.
At least ffs provide traceroute/IP's subnet or something
I like your product very much. Will you provide an optimized network in China?
The blend we're getting from Psychz in Los Angeles is asia optimized but it's best effort. I did test this out some time ago with a friend in that region (but not China specifically) and there was a noticeable improvement versus the unoptimized blend.
Based on the information you have provided, I can tell you that those are definitely two carriers that do business in Amsterdam so it is within the realm of possibility that they could be used.
We're happy to see you using our panic attack inducing services.
We've doubled your anxiety!
Sorry, haven't been following hence not up-to-date but have you started deploying/migrating dedicated servers?
With you, I have had services in San Jose and Los Angeles for 2 years. The network can barely be used in China because it is cheap and they are only spares. I hope you can expand China and optimize a better network. I look forward to it.😄
I hope not, their price will be higher due to chinese optimized network.
The network is good, although not very good, the translation software is wrong
It's not "cheap", it's "lowend".
The only carrier we had a direct conversation with that understood all the challenges in providing a very premium and guaranteed level of networking directly to China, with an explanation that made sense was very expensive.
I don't want to dive into the specifics too much but the pricing did end up being above $100 per 1TB.
So while we do know how to do this properly and have the appropriate partner lined up should anyone be interested, the reality of it is that the only real/proper solution is not in any way realistic in terms of pricing. No one will want to pay $100+ per 1TB. Well, perhaps some people do, that's why the solution does exist, just not anyone renting a VPS that I know of would want that. Should anyone really be interested and they absolutely cannot make any compromises, we do have that available and can offer it, minimum 30TB per month with 3-4 months setup time and 3 year contract term.
I hope that makes sense, but again, we do expect the network in Los Angeles/Ryzen, once launched, to be some level of improvement. However, it is not guaranteed and I don't know how it will translate to real-world performance gains. I just know it's not placebo, it was tested to at least some region in Asia and performed noticeably better. To China? I'm not sure.
Phoenix migrations will be first, emails already sent out and it's been scheduled. Since this is a small location it's essentially an initial test run, although all hardware has been properly tested, networking functions, and so on.
Seattle is being deployed still.
There was a delay in the others, I'm trying hard to push it through to other locations this week.
Thank you for your serious reply,
Nice helpful VirMach email warning me I've used 90% of my monthly VPS bandwidth (oops).
Both were in DE locations but in sometime you transferred it to AMS.
VPS #1
VPS #2
And I'm wanted to ask lookingglass of new DC that you will use for VPS after convert it to Ryzen? for me very important traceroute to my locations because not all providers good for me. NY and EU locations interesting.
We'll be able to better assist you in a ticket but at a quick glance that looks like one is in Amsterdam and one is in Frankfurt.
That would be a plot twist!
One server in Amsterdam, one server in Frankfurt and ticket "Why there is a different routing?"
@VirMach what are you doing with the "old" hardware?
Maybe you can sell us some. I would be interested.
Can you drive up to Buffalo and do some dumpster diving?
I prefer shipping, but thank you
Most the hardware is not owned, it was rented. We do have some dual E5 machines of our own and some of it (very little) is being repurposed for storage node backup parts (to swap out in case of emergency.) The rest of it is too power hungry to do much with it.
So we'll just part it out, use the chassis for some stuff here and there, use the SSDs for E3's and so on. I doubt we'd sell any of it.
I used to have a DL380 in my house. So loud, power hungry, and eventually slower than my consumer gear.
Loud, power hungry, slow, (and large) are the reasons old hardware becomes unused hardware.
