Any ETAfor Cluj? Cant wait to test there 😍
About 2 weeks
Does this support custom iso?
Interesting, is there enough connectivity and localized peering to make this beneficial over the capital? We faced a similar situation in the UK where by any northern hosting went via London anyway but that's changed over last five years with growing peering fabrics in Manchester and even Leeds. Unrelated, what's the co-working scene like in Cluj? Romania is on my list before the winter
I live near Cluj...
I don't...
Of course not! It's always amazing to have extra premium traffic just in case
That's useful feedback. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
First batch of hardware has been racked in Cluj-Napoca a month ago.
We've been working to get every possible bit of performance out the the 40G network cards and from the 40G fiberswitches. Drivers, testing optimal OpenStack network setup, active-active setup that can push close to 80Gbs etc.
Big SATA storage as block device (OpenStack Cinder) and object storage (a la S3, via OpenStack swift) is next in line.
New toys lot of fun!

Custom ISO upload feature is already available in Fleio.
We've been considering some security and performance implication regarding enabling ISO upload.
But I think we're fine. I'll talk to our staff and see if it's time we enable it on IntoVPS.
In Cluj we're in GTS, a non-carrier-neutral-friendly data center, but never the less, a reputable premium ISP (actually one of the most expensive, if not THE), part of Deutsche Telekom. Peering is also done mainly through Bucharest in Romania (we have some plans to change that, as a side note
).
Even so, Cluj gives a few advantages like disaster recovery location for Bucharest located data (different tectonic plate, less seismic risk), direct connection for local IT companies (which are plenty - https://techcrunch.com/2016/04/06/the-silicon-valley-of-transylvania/ ), exotic location for international customers and some amazing deals on the way.
Cluj-Napoca has some really good co-working facilities, some that I know personally:
I see some more on Google.
PM me and come by our office for an espresso.
Damn. I am starting to love your services. Even more than previously. You guys rock. I did manage a few vps on intovps many years ago though I never bought one for myself... It looks like its time to.
You guys are humble. Why don't you include in your offerings that you are the creator of intoDNS? When I found out about that fact, it was a pleasant surprise and we are grateful to you for creating such an amazing tool.
Warm regards from the deepest of our hearts.
We do brag about it on our about page and in the IntoDNS footer.
Cheers!
Testing our upcoming Cluj location on NVMe vs. Amsterdam on SSD's
Cluj-Napoca, GTS data center on NVMe
Amsterdam (Leaseweb in Evoswitch data center) on SSD:
Could you please run nench.sh?
That seems much better than my experience @intovps. Love the speed and IOPS!
Speak for yourself, that is useful info and suitable for a hosting forum discussion board. This is hands on experience. I'm sure your life was negatively affected by reading one sentence that you had to be rude for.
I'm not trying to be specially rude
If provider wants to compete with others then I really don't care if they've lost some computing power due to some vulnerability.
OK. Just letting you know that IS useful information, as it is a security improvement that many others DO care about, as well with Ryzen update this month and more providers setting up AMD boxes instead of Xeon boxes. No exploits needing to disable HT equivalent on AMD CPUs.
