@crunchbits Thank you! What a great answer, and your detail and transparency are very much appreciated. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking this! This kind of response is frankly refreshing, and I hope you continue doing it!
All that sounds great, and I totally understand about not promising specific hardware too.
Happy to hear about the future Valley Forge move... seems like it solves a number of things for you, gives you more flexibility, more upstream options, plus it sounds like a good financial deal too. And it's therefore better long-term for the customers.
Two quick follow-up questions on that -- 1) when you say you'll be moving all the Allentown hardware to Valley Forge, I assume that means all the budget yearly nodes there too, right? 2) And will the IPs change at all? I'd hate to set up a bunch of stuff and have IPs all change on me! But if so, I'd want to be prepared.
And I forgot to ask about the VDS nodes... are you introducing a similar pricing model for those, or sticking with the prior pricing model?
Opted against changing IPs even if we have the space free, it's just far too much of a headache. That is why it'll be a bit of a production with a lot of warm bodies. Once we disconnect, we'll (as rapidly as we safely can) physically drive the hardware down and re-rack to an already pre-configured environment.
For now, sticking with the prior though we made some changes to the performance, pricing, and specs. Will detail it on the info page as we get pics and writeups done, but able to push our 7950X a bit further and add some more enterprise features (some of which are already quietly live).
What happens with the VDS type of units where you're taking and locking up a full pinned CPU topography is that the rest of the associated resources are completely dead in the water. Rather than think of it as you're paying for say an "extra" 50G of NVMe disk space, it's more that whether you wanted it or not I'd have to charge you the same because there are only 15 or 23 physical cores being sold. So you're getting a "free" 50G of NVMe space
Everything else in the system is ancillary to the CPU. This is where I find the 'standard' or legacy pricing model fits better for all parties.
Ahh, yeah makes sense. Got it.
Thanks again. And all the rest sounds good.
As you mentioned, please do give plenty of notice for the Valley Forge move! Sounds like a big operation. Guessing maybe 4-6 hours downtime if all goes well (hopefully less!)... it's worth it long term, good luck with it. I will have more than one active service with you there, at least one in full production with active client sites. If I know the move window in advance, I can plan accordingly!
Anyway, lots of sweet options here between the build-a-VPS, and VDS options! Again, great job, happy to see you expand, especially as you bring your East Coast services up to the same level as West Coast. Very cool.
P.S. And BTW, Valley Forge has some great history with the Revolutionary War as I'm sure you know. I'll take it over Allentown any day.
Nope, meant vpses. I just hate to use the word because -as you can see, I don't get the plural of the word ;^).
thanks
