    Try rebooting into system rescue, it's a non destructive live test environment you can boot from our provisioning system. If you can't get what you expect open a support ticket.

    Nice IO. Is that ploop @ OpenVZ?

    Nope, it's ZFS compression on top of a 2 disk mirror.

    mmm @dacentec Yup the link you provided verifys 2500mhz. Interesting. I'll open a ticket. Thanks for the info. I thought it was just my error

    800Mhz means it's set to ondemand - for instance mine shows this for scaling between loads: cpufreq stats: 2.50 GHz:0.19%, 1.80 GHz:0.08%, 1.30 GHz:0.42%, 800 MHz:99.31%

    On Debian Jessie:

    apt-get install cpufrequtils

    then nano /etc/default/cpufrequtils

    and put: GOVERNOR="performance"

    save and reboot and then it will be running at 2.5GHz all the time.

    Not sure if there's an easier way to do that but it worked for me =).

    I have been using windows with the machines are they pretty great. Can't wait for more.

  • princeshokoprinceshoko Member

    thanks @dacentec for fixing my issues. Very helpful as usual, but this time you went above by setting up a test machine to figure out the issue. Good stuff. Now I got good speeds and everything I had hoped for.

    Why are people so keen to see the high number everywhere? Just let the OS handle CPU frequency scaling and you get all the speed when you need it but when you don't need it you save power and the environment.
    I always keep ondemand, there's no slowdown to my applications.

    If it worked as it should tomle i'd have no issue. But in all my tests load times were not snappy, sites took longer to load, 6, 7 8 seconds to switch a page. Now, no issues. Click and boom page is up.

    When you start giving me my money for nothing you can tell me what to expect , and what its spent on.

    Or if you like something more flexible:

    Well to be fair, my box is snappier and load times have gone down after I set it from ondemand to performance (and I usually keep ondemand on my boxes but for some reason this box is working better with performance).

    Anyone here use the provisioning thing to install Debian Jessie? The other day I kept trying and trying and it would always get stuck and never finish, I left it running for close to 3 hours and it never completed. I ended up installing Wheezy and then just dist-upgrading but I'm curious if it was working for others?

    I had the same issue. I submitted a ticket and they were able to force the install to progress.

    Really? When I did a ticket about that they just said it looked like it was progressing as normal but it wasn't and I didn't want to keep opening the ticket back up. Glad they got it to work for you though :).

    Attempting to order the HP Proliant 2XL5420 16GB 2X2TB RTO - but it just refreshes the page.

  • dacentecdacentec Member, Host Rep

    It happens sometimes when we lock a product. It should be good now.

  • sinsin Member

    Gotta say, after they fixed the network and ssh issue yesterday, I'm REALLY loving this server! I mean for $20/month a month this is awesome :).

    Hope you have some new deals with HW raid.

  • wlambrechtswlambrechts Member

    I'm very pleased with my new Dacentec server as well.
    I rented a 8 GB RAM server (20$/month) but then found out I needed 16 GB RAM (25$/month). They offered a refund for the first server: no questions asked...

    You guys are really great !!!

    Thanks @dacentec

  • dacentecdacentec Member, Host Rep

    We just ordered a cross connect to bring Level 3 online.

    We have a little housekeeping to do still from all the orders before we put some deals up.

    wlambrechts@: That's the Dacentec experience.

  • tomletomle Member, LIR

    Happy to hear you are working on improving the network connectivity!

    Got the AMD 1385 with 16GB of RAM and setting up an Openstack lab. Might think about getting the 2xL5420 for $30 if it shows up to get some more CPU performance...

  • heyzzxheyzzx Member

    @dacentec More CPUs can add to 20$.

  • TinyTunnel_TomTinyTunnel_Tom Member

    Will their be another around the end of this month? @dacentec

  • RurikoRuriko Member

    @dacentec any chance that the new plans have a dedi that has high cpu with low ram?
