[UltraVPS] Black Friday 2024 & 25th Anniversary Special Offers
This discussion has been closed.

They have no longer LA.
My vm in LA has been canceled with very short notification period.
@UltraVPS - could you please post some details on your storage VMs (and a yabs bench please).
CPU + Type of RAID (on some underlying ZFS setup?).
Do you also provide the usual separate OS partition (and is it 10GB or 20GB)?
Yes. I can confirm it does come with a 10GB OS partition on storage servers.
Specifically for the Storage VMs as well?
Yes, I answered for storage vm only.
This sometimes get out of hand, specially with Mariadb or growing log files. Other than that, Great provider
Been with them 5+ years.
Thank you for clarifying.
If you do happen to have a yabs that you can post, please do share (and thanks in advance).
I'm quite curious on the underlying storage subsystem as well and I hope @UltraVPS will clarify.

hmm, I ordered, but didn't get a confirmation/payment mail. can't remember though if that was instant normally...
recurring offers or once?
Thanks, I was looking for more storage so picked up a 25Y-Storage-3.
yabs:
I received it immediately
That YABS is indeed from an E5 system, but notice that the date is 15 August
A newer YABS is here:

fio disk speed is impressive for a storage server. This is the fastest I ever seen. What setup they have for them?
Interesting - 2 different YABS from the same location (Dusseldorf, Germany) and CPU's are different (I certainly didn't expect a different CPU) and also IO performance is also quite different.
Puzzled and wondering how many different kinds of nodes they have.
Of course that IO looks pretty solid, but running ZFS on a 1GB or 2GB RAM system is going to be meh at best.
That IO looks crazy. Is that a full Nvme or a cached HDD?
Thanks, just ordered again and indeed received the mail instantly. Maybe in the first try something went wrong...
@loay @itsTomHarper it's a ZFS setup. Very well cached and balanced. Been using their services and storage for years. Can wholeheartly recommend.
The 5TB price is crazy cheap, you don't want to miss out on this!
How is their support?
By any chance are you also using ZFS (on top of the underlying ZFS setup)?
I'm curious on performance (esp. with low RAM for the ARC).
The initial invoice needs to be paid with Paypal.- does this mean one needs a pp account to pay for the service?I did not really need much support over the years. The few communications I had were always fast and professional, I like them very much as provider.
Never tried. I don't think that would be beneficial. Maybe if looking for specific features like snapshot, but probably would put LVM on top instead then.
Just checked again, in the yabs above the fio is run on the extra 10GB that is for the system. The fio on the separate storage drive is slower for sure.
But still quicker and more consistent than most other setups with just locally cached raid that I have used so far.

Aah... that explains the high IOPS. I wasn't sure if there was some underlying ZFS magic that was doing it. Which is why I was wondering if ZFS on top of ZFS would be OK even with low RAM for ARC.
I hope someone can specifically run a YABS against the storage drive (just by running it from a dir on that drive/partition).
Tagging @amaeva080 and @EborEes as well in case they can repeat with the correct drive.
Thanks in advance.
Very nice! Ironically, mine was not delivered yet (Düsseldorf)
Aha I was about to point that out. Still it's good IO for the cached HDD.
@nullnothere the one I edited into my post above is taken on the storage drive (see vdb in the path)
