    This is just a way to avoid people only wanting to grab a server for a month or two. In large companies, this can lead to receive the demand for tons of servers when you release them and in some months only the actual clients, those who really need the service will stay. And then, the company sit with tons of unused servers...

    That makes sense and I can understand them somehow. It would be great they charge the setup fee back after 6 months or even a year, I would really like that concept. It's an incentive to keep the server longer and more people buy it.

    I didn't even move my installation properly and boom:

    Your server's network port is off

    If you just asked for a server reboot, or to boot in rescue or test mode, this message will only be displayed for a few seconds.

    Otherwise, our network equipment may be on protective mode due to non-authorized network traffic.

    In this case, please ask our support team to unlock your server.

    Same issue I was talking about. Ticket and phoned, my issue was resolved in a few hours

    But it happens every time I boot CentOS 6.7 ! WTF ?

    I can only select CentOS7?? How did you get CentOS6 installed?

  • SpacedustSpacedust Member

    I moved it from XC SSD 2015 and reconfigured for the new server, but it doesn't boot. It's really horrible they do not offer CentOS 6.7.

    May be they don't have time to write drivers for such new hardware yet?

    Highly customized HW thou, you can run almost all 6.x under 7 anyway.

  • SpacedustSpacedust Member

    The only way is to probably install Proxmox, but I hate virtual machines...

  • SpacedustSpacedust Member

    Please note I've been starting CentOS 6.7 with latest kernel 4.5 from elrepo. It must have all the necessary drivers since the same kernel in CentOS 7 works well.

    Possible to install centos 7?

  • SpacedustSpacedust Member

    CentOS 7 works well, but it's too new for many control panels.

  • GeekoineGeekoine Member

    Well this is really a great deal

  • david_Wdavid_W Member

    I am Interesting to see how this little Atom with VT-x handles KVM

    For those I/O speeds to the HDD, are those read or write speeds? I'm guessing that is just the typical dd test?

    I believe that's for regular dd write test. I will dig into the test script later. But the HDD is running on sata 2 mode even the controller is sata 3 capable.

    This "motherboard" is really a one big mistake.

    N2800 is a netbook CPU, C2750 is a server CPU

    I know this is not fair. n2800 is what the ks-1 having.

    Surprisingly, c2750 having similar AES performance in test compare with 2xE5420.

    VT-x Test

    Having Win 2012 R2 std with GUI and Ubuntu14 Desktop running in qemu KVM, still no issue. GUI is pretty smooth via RDP/VNC. Most of the time both cores are about 20%-25% load.

    This will make me a great sandbox, if only talking about the remote desktop experience, it's even better than same configuration under Core2Quad Q9300, which has 3.5x higher bench marketing than this tiny Atom. Any expert can point out why?

    Need I say more to have a smooth remote desktop? Think about those download client we have been using in the past xD. Now I am even thinking about bigger storage...

    Again this tiny CPU still surprising me. By checking the Intel road map and compare specs, C2350 is almost identical to C2338

    http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Atom+C2338+@+1.74GHz&id=2381

    Must be the SATA3 upgrade magic!

  • xyzxyz Member

    I highly doubt the C2350 will be able to do anything better than a Q9xxx CPU unless you're really taking advantage of the newer ISA (i.e. AES-NI). There may be something else in your comparison that you're not factoring.

  • david_Wdavid_W Member

    @xyz said:

    I got the same feeling too, but both system has exactly OS and qemu-kvm version. Running VM with no GUI Q9300 is faster but guest with desktop is painfully slow.

    I only need KVM to run GUI OS thou, all other VMs have been migrated to docker.

    SC 2016 is back in stock

  • LowEndGuyLowEndGuy Member

    Looks like a good offer indeed, I might try one to see how it works.

  • mike0000mike0000 Member

    Alright Online.net.. you win this round. Ordered.

  • david_Wdavid_W Member

    lol I just cancelled mine, moving forward to XC 2016 and KS2-C

    These are just secondary/third level machines for me, had to jump on the SSD model - already got a KS-1 with 500GB drive for half the price. Will make it an EU PoP for some of my stuff and a read-only failover for some sites.

    Would've preferred a slightly beefier CPU (maybe C2550), but it'll do for serving static/heavily cached stuff quickly :)

  • david_Wdavid_W Member

    Same here, these are toy machine and only for backup and backup of backup.
    Most of time they will be like a gold sink. Getting very serious LET addition, want to get my hands on every single offer until my credit card is burned. Then let 90% of them sitting there doing nothing.

    I need a doctor.

    No worries @mikeyur, Delim*** is one of those providers I am putting production stuffs on. These stuffs are separate from my Dedi addition..
