I've fiddled with the idea of using different CPUs but people really want to have a minimum of 3.5Ghz.

Just do like HVH and make it aggregate.
Jesus Christ.

You may call me WSS.

oh my cat!
I currently have roughly 30TB of raided storage. $5/TB seems like a great price for attached storage, it puts it in line with an OVH storage server or a WebNX large storage server.
So the question comes to performance. You said 100MBps/100IOPS per volume, does that scale with size?
What I mean is; would a 5TB volume get more performance or would you have to do 5x1TB to get more?
I want to do that long term but haven't decided for sure what the break points would be.
We'll see how the beta goes
Francisco
I like 1TB for $5. Would there be some sort of redundancy at the disk level?
RAID6 at minimum, RAID10 more likely.
Francisco
Probably would grab a 1TB to go with slice. But I echo pleas to start at 0.5
I'll see how things go.
I wanted to hit $3/TB but wasn't able to quite get there.
Francisco
yes please
What does 100mbps mean? That's the transfer speed between the slab and its attached vps? That issue had slipped past me earlier. I do think that slow speed is a drawback, given that it's over a short range LAN.
on 2year prepays maybe.
No, that's VPS<>World.
Each VPS node will have a 10Gbit link to the storage fabric, dedicated to just storage work.
Francisco
Not sure I'd have many people wanting to bite at that with a Slice on top. The cheapest setup would be $150/2y for a 1GB slice and 1TB storage.
Francisco
That is interesting. It's $6.5/TB/mo including the slice, vs. $8.5 month-to-month. With 2TB it's $4.75/TB/mo which is official cheap storage range (under $5/TB). Month-to-month never reaches that level, even with 16TB ($5.22/TB/mo). I could see myself going for the 2 TB, 2 year option if it was available. But $3/TB sounds underwater cost-wise if you use raid 10.
It would be but that's why we have testing going on
While my caching results look very promising, I haven't made it face the torture test that is LE customers.
Even at $5/TB, I think it's very affordable storage, especially from someone that isn't trying to make next months rent.
Francisco
What RAID controller will you use? I'm curious about the durability of the controller, fail rates, etc
Want! Filled out the form.
Hmm already been considering using buyvm for a project and this could push me over the edge!
Would definitely pick one up if it came to Lux :-)
I haven't hard decided on that, that's part of what the beta is. What options we're considering though will stay within the select few working on said project.
Almost there~
Francisco
Damn you waves fist I'm already chaneling funds for BF deals. If you are doing offers I will host it with you rather than my current provider.
To me, you're one of the few providers I would do a multi year deal with, since I know you'll be around. I'd bite on the 2TB multi year deal for sure.
I'd also love to see a smaller but faster option. For example, a 200GB slab with 400iops would be very helpful for those (like me?) running MySQL replication. We have a pretty busy database and usually offsite HDD can't even catch up in realtime. We are currently using ramnode ssd-cached, very reliable but low spec and not quite good for dumping huge database etc. We would love to try somewhere different.
EDIT: Also if you are considering to ban torrenting from that block storage?
Are the bigger KVM slices not possible? Too costly?
Francisco
Yea it's a 30GB database, including relay log and some buffers I'd like to have at least 100GB space around, and that pushes the monthly cost too high.
You'd be $15.00/month right now, I can spot the 20GB difference.
Francisco
That's why we are on ramnode ssd-cache line, which is $8/qtr for 120GB.
And that's why I'm interested in slice+slab which is not supposed to bring the cost too high.
