Anyone using Dediserve and able to upgrade to Jessie?

    @dediserve - the performance on the Dallas location is fantastic - played with it for an hour or so last night and it was A LOT better then Xen. There was an issue creating a server with the Debian 8 template support gave me (a panel error that said "CPU Priority must be less than or equal to 6 to meet billing requirements.") but they ended up creating the server for me and getting me squared away.

    @dediserve I destroyed and rebuilt my VM a few days ago, but am still on Xen, is there any trick to move to KVM?
    Trying to destroy and rebuild again
    YAY, KVM! Tell your tech guys thanks ;)
    Now we are all waiting on a new promo......

    London ... the new KVM offer.

    London is already available with KVM (Maidenhead) and we'll be re-opening London, Docklands with KVM likely in the coming week.

    It's been almost a week since I signed up for Dediserve's KVM at their Dallas location - really loving it so far! I installed a LEMP stack, moved over 6 wordpress blogs, and have been just messing around with things and working on my sites...everything is really snappy. I also love the new 2.93GHz cores :) and I'm happy to be on Debian 8...I remember when I started this thread I was pretty frustrated Debian 8 wouldn't work on Xen at the time.

    @dediserve: I vote for amsterdam next. My gitlab needs a little oomph.

    P.S: can we restore snapshots from xen vm to kvm?

    Thanked by 1dediserve
  • dediservedediserve Member

    You can restore Xen templates to KVM and yes, KVM is available in AMS

    Receiving negative on both points from support. Ref: ticket 807572

    @dediserve - with the standard 2GB ram resource plan, how much outbound bandwidth/traffic comes with it? Certain pages on the Dediserve site have different amounts...one part says 1TB for each 1GB of ram, another page says 1.5TB for each 1GB of ram. There's nothing that I can find in the control panel that tells me how much outbound I'm allowed each month with my 2GB plan.

    Also...are there any other US locations that will be moving to KVM in the near future? Like maybe Buffalo :).

  • vimalwarevimalware Member

    Latest authoritative update: KVM is not ready in AMS.

    I feel silly for deleting my vm. Thank you onapp for snapshots :)

  • dediservedediserve Member
    edited September 2015

    @sin - We bundle 1.5TB per GB in most locations, with 1TB per GB in Hong Kong and Sydney. We've some site edits en route that will help clarify that.

    @vimalware - Apologies, 100% my bad on that information :(

    Damn that sucks because I'm sure you will really enjoy KVM at Dediserve when it's available at the location you're on :)

    There are a tiny number of older hypervisors still about which have x5000 series xeons at 2.9. You can see the 512kb cache versus the 25mb on the e5 2660 we run now as standard.

    Is there a list that shows which Dediserve Locations are KVM enabled?

  • dediservedediserve Member

    @nfn that's the e5-2660

    The qemu driver is showing the wrong cache. We're looking at a fix for that.

    At this stage the majority are and that improves weekly as we add new hardware. All clouds deployed in the last 6 months or so are by default too with Toronto and Jakarta on the way.

    Just curious, why don't your new hypervisors come equiped with the newest generation E5-2660 V3 that has 400 MHz higher clock rate per core?

    Our clouds run exclusively on HP Blade technology.

    At the moment we run BL 460C Gen 8 Blades, which only support up to the V2 E5.

    We plan to slowly move to Gen 9 which supports the E5 V3 (and other nice features) over the next 6-18 months.
