Looking for KVM Storage (EU and US location)
We're looking for KVM storage providers in EU and US.
The project:
- we have our own system for file copy/backup
- 2X backups of millions of small files
- mostly media files like photos and videos
- the copy process PER VM is average of 30 files per second (100k per hour) this is not constant this is just the max test we set. It will be lower read/write per second. Barely 10mb/s read/write
- the average file size is 2mb-20mb
- our test is only max 300mb memory and max 0.03 cpu load
Here's our current list of providers
- BuyVM
- crowncloud
- virmach
- smarthost
- letbox
- ultravps.eu
VZ Type: KVM
Number of Cores: atleast one(1)
RAM: atleast 512MB
Disk Space: atleast 1TB
Disk Type: HDD
Storage Redundancy: RAID1/RAID10/RAID5/RAID6/CEPH/RAIDZ/ZFS
Bandwidth: atleast 1TB
Port Speed: atleast 100mbps (1gbps is preferred) - shared ofcourse
DDoS Protection: preferred but not required
Number of IPs: atleast one(1) IPv4 per VM
Location: US and EU
Budget: $10/mo/vm
Billing period: Monthly
Other Notes:
Good connectivy to Backblaze US-west and Amsterdam region is a big plus but not required.
Thanks

LiteServer (NL) or NexusBytes (DE)
Thank you for the mention
the average file size is 2mb-20mb
Constant ~600mb/s+ read/write usage boss?
Not constant. We wont hammer the VM. It might barely do 10/mb/s write.
It will only be used for gallery media upload or attachments. However, we backup/copy those files to another VM, per upload. Then the final copy goes to backblaze.
We will use CDN to cache the images, so read will not much be a worry.
Its ave 30 files per sec, not 300 sorry for that.
You gave me a mini heart attack there. Haha.
Join the family
Locations :
LA and NYC for USA

What's wrong with the existing list of providers, cannot support your specs?
current @TimboJones with my english ... is existing , actual , present.
They're fine.We want more. We need different nodes and different DCs.
3 copies (vm1/dc1 > vm2/dc2 > backblaze)
Yes, those are words.
Please skip your daily English lesson and work on fixing your network, 'mmkay?

Do you really have machines with 1+ TB of storage? It seems you are just doing small SSD disk space virtual machines
Yes, we offer storage VM. Please contact our sales department for a quote.
I'm still looking for more locations particularly in US-east (New York, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Carolina) and for EU (UK, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden)
We have StorageGA1TB and StorageNL1TB which might fit your needs: https://greenkvm.com

i can provide storage plan in maximum 2 weeks in Norway if you still looking for this location
@cazrz I would say BuyVM with @Francisco would be your best place.
We are already using buyvm, thanks.
I will check, but currently we are looking for block storage. I still need to test more if our system will work on local storage.
NY's slabbed too.
Francisco
Thats great will get some slabs today.
Your requirements:
So you are looking at 10$ per TB (in storage and transfer)
I would offer to you in dedicated form my MR 5 package:
C2550 (4c,4t)
8GB ECC RAM
4x 3TB HDD (CMR)
5TB Traffic on 100Mbit/s Port (1x IPV4)
IPMI/HTML5 Console Avalible
So you are free to run your own zfs or whatever.
Assuming you sacrifice 1 disk for redundancy in a zfs setup you would have around 11.957 TB raw, with around 8.42 TB usable. (Works out to around 5.4 euro per TB usable).
Its currently listed myroot.pw for 45 euro. (53 usd).
But i am willing to give you a 5 Euro recurring discount (Final Price: 40 eur/mo - 47 USD)
(if you agree to a 1 year commitment/term, with a 1st month cancellation option ofc. (to try it out)).
