    Other than that it was launched 2 months ago at most, so uptimes cant be big.

    Ah ok, no plans for IPV6 I guess any time soon. And yes, I was just curious if the nodes have been up since launch. :)

    About so:

    [root@pm52ovzdallas ~]# uptime
 19:46:07 up 54 days, 20:24,  1 user,  load average: 4.00, 4.15, 4.27

[root@pm53ovzdallas ~]# uptime
 19:47:07 up 53 days, 19:54,  2 users,  load average: 0.03, 0.16, 0.26

[root@pm54dallas ~]# uptime
 19:47:46 up 43 days, 19:00,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

    For Xen, load is irrelevant, of course.

    any explanations for this? :)

    Xen shows the load of Dom0 which is the domain controlling the VMs, not much load there, while the VMs can have very heavy loads in the meantime.
    The OVZ and KVM nodes show the combined load (VMs+node) but xen does not, since the node itself is a VM in some ways.

    Always hear great things about these two providers. I wonder if the key to providers with high uptimes is having the smallest client base. Even though Prometeus is always in the top 3 they could still have a smaller client base than any other top provider, say Ramnode, perhaps? I know Prometeus has very unique practices to ensure their boxes are far from being over sold (basically they are underutilized but it results in the highest client satisfaction).

    I don't think so. Some of those names with great uptime are among providers with higher client base at LEB. It's important to know what you're doing, set up things (hardware, network..) from beginning properly, know hardware limits (number of clients per node...) and then stick with limits.

    It's impossible to eliminate all potential points of failure (hardware die!) but host who know what they are doing can drastically decreased chances that something will go wrong any time soon. Having control over network and (own) hardware can be helpful.
    Older providers with more experiences have advantage with a lot of that but sadly not all of them use it.

    Very informative answer, thanks. :) In my head I kept thinking of Prometeus as smaller than most top providers but maybe they aren't so small, it's just they manage their client base well with the resources that they have. Plus they have their own internal policies that ensure quality assurance which maybe is generally an afterthought for many providers.

  • bobbybobby Member

    I think prometeus is quite a lot bigger than most providers here, seeing they do a lot of enterprise stuff in italy as well. Best provider thats here by a mile.

    We have many big corporate customers and 2 more "clouds".
    One is with rhev and another with vmware.
    The VPS business is a side show Uncle is CTO for a fast growing Datacenter and main income for prometeus is from corporate stuff. We are trying to bridge the gap between hobbists with cheap VPSes and the big corporate stuff with the FOSS cloud, it is cheap enough for the hobbists and good enough for the small business sector.
    That being said, we have some 3000+ customers with the VPSes and the cloud for the masses stuff, many of them have more than one VM.
    About 80 nodes in total.
    To give you an idea, our client base is big enough to enable us to sell new services only to them, many improvements and new services are offered to our users only, the abuse factor is very high on our minds and we prefer to not grow than take abusers, keep the current customers satisfied instead of getting a gazillion new ones that we have a hard time policing and mostly mean a loss for us.

    Wow, that's spectacular, I really appreciate the concerns you have over abuse and satisfying existing customer base. Must get a VPS with you guys now, no wonder you are so loved. :)

    In reality Prometeus is one of the biggest providers, and certainly one of the most experienced providers here if not the most experienced. On top of that the business is not the only thing supporting Uncle which is a big advantage, as Maounique said he's got a position with the datacenter primarily.

    From my memory of Uncle talking about 10-40Gbps streaming clients and showing traffic screen shots, you can be sure LEB/LET is just a small part of his business.

    Thanks also for the info. Really puts things into perspective. I'm very happy that they are providing LEB services. :)

    Sometimes, 10.000 customers with $10k income/month , can't be compared with 1000 customers with £ 100k/month.

    I have 278 Days.. I had about 350+ days... But back in Feb, they had to do a OS-upgrade...

    At Prometeus:

    KVM SSD 5

    12:52:37 up 313 days, 3:32, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00

    connected to a storage-only Atom to act as a 50 GB drive over iSCSI

    12:54:24 up 253 days, 9:00, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

    I never thought that a cross-VPS storage solution would be as reliable as this, but since these have been running there was not a single problem with them.

    that is because they are in the same DC. If they were even 500 miles apart without a direct link, you would have noticed problems when routes change and peerings drop in the internet, a provider can only control his network to a point.
