Why is the network so much slower than the normal online.net network?
@Amitz it should not be slower at all - maybe you can open a ticket so we can have a look
Id guess more dense per a switch (more in a rack), larger amount of people suddenly now brought these and all running benchmarks...at the same.
Hi Bene,
I did not try myself and judged from the "benchmarks" above. I know that all of my servers with online.net can do better than that, so I wondered...
these "benchmarks" for network actually just sucks hard
only your own tests can be really trusted .... sad truth
Mik
There is no limitation on the network on our side and just tried it with a randomly started node http://paste.ee/p/snyVd
Yes, I know. I will spin up an instance myself now to do some testing! :-)
I have no doubt that the connection to your own speedtest server is good. I wondered about the overseas speeds.
@Amitz You can see the load on our network at https://status.online.net/weathermap/
They are very nippy little units, definitely worth the money at 2.99 and actually worth having a couple depending on your needs.
Not bad in my opinion, I might just drop my other setup in favor of this as long as Transmission and Nginx work fine. Gotta love that price. Ping is a little high though at about ~150ms from Florida, USA

I know PHP isn't a single package, it was just an example. You should be able to install any PHP package available in the Ubuntu or Debian repos.
@bene_online are there any plans to provide ipv6 on scaleway?
Can this be used as a personal seedbox? Torrent is allowed?
How does this compare to the dedi kidechere by onlin.net? I have never used this arm based servers... What are its potential uses? Ofcourse, can I use this for downloading torrents? What os can one typically install?
@plumberg They seem to have a performance similar to Kidechire, but double the amount of CPU cores. You can test it at instantserver.io
ARM was designed for low-power devices like cell phones at a time when running x86 on a cell phone seemed absolutely out of the question (with today's battery technologies and lower-power x86 processors it might be possible). Compared to even an Atom, the Atom will probably win hands down on performance (not that I have made any measurements myself). ARM is still a RISC architecture, meaning that it does a lot less per cycle, though some have out-of-order execution now.
I'm assuming Linux on ARM, probably a lot like having a Raspberry Pi in a data center.
You can probably download legal torrents. Most GNU/Linux software doesn't care one whit what hardware it is running on (the exception being JVM implementations with JIT).
was using for a couple hours, great set up etc, great documentation. BUT, i am only getting 4mbs in north america. oh well.
Not double but four times, as Kidechire only has a single core.
Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and Arch: https://www.scaleway.com/faq/server/#-Which-Linux-distributions-are-available
No, not really. Maybe N2800 will be a bit faster, by something like 20% at most; but e.g. Atom D425 (single core with HT)? No.
These should be 5-10x faster per each core than a Raspberry Pi (1).
Wow the network has improved as well. Definitely a nice offering now!
x86 phones are just fine. I personally don't have one, but there are loads out there and they work.. fine.. for the most part..
Can the scalrway online storage be mounted on a Online server?
Anyway, does the billing depends on the volume of files actually stocked on it? (Like if I store 1TB for 1 week then remove it it will adapt the billing accordingly automagically?)
Thanks
I only see 2gb ram. What if you want more?
Well, I appreciate that you have a lot of ARM cores per server. But that doesn't give me performance on non-parallelizable tasks (for example, the loooong dependency calculations APT does; probably due to inefficiencies, but still). I agree that single core sucks, but most things will not benefit at all from more than 2 cores.
Cloud billing confuses me.
So, is this 2,99€ per month going to be recurring or is it only for the first month?
My point is that even each single core is not as slow as you seem to think. If you didn't buy one, login into the free demo and check by yourself with some CPU tests. Also IIRC if you switch to a newer kernel in the panel (4.0+) it's even faster.
For those who might be interested by that, it seems pretty easy: https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse
Don't know the performance as I didn't test it yet
always 2,99
yes but it has 2 threads >.>
No.
