  • Was so impressed with the performance of the small OpenVZ boxes I had picked up I had to pick up this storage deal too in favor of the Contabo VPS. Thanks @AnthonySmith!

    could you please provide a looking glass for the SSD cached ones?
    thx

  • yeah that is what I meant and tested - i see you are implying it is all the same clouvider DC

    It is the same dc.

    Feel free to PM the traceroute or preferably an MTR along with your public IP - if this can have physically improved - we will.

    Just balancing up some over provisioning issues today for the UK OpenVZ, the speed of the orders created a bit of an imbalance impacting performance and I am allocating additional hardware to resolving the issue, the good news being that I will be able to open up UK VZ orders again for a bit for those that missed out.

  • Please just say when! ;-)

    by 18:00 today at the latest but aiming for 14:00 (UK Time)

  • Heh, just moved my stuff over. Was afraid it got suspended for abuse due to the large database import (~ 1 GB), but thankfully it's just being migrated.

    Yep, announcement on the client area, just a big error in provisioning, in short 1 node was massively oversold 1 was massively undersold I only picked up on it this morning, performance should improve now.

    Guess I missed the announcement. No worries, though, happy that both my OpenVZ boxes are now on different nodes.

    Next LET drama caused by misquoting the above... "Inception is oversold!" ;)

    Did the 2 GB and 4 GB go really quickly (within an hour), or did you only add stock for 512 MB?

    Either way, any chance we'll see any more of those in the not-too-distant future?

    You are just looking at the wrong product group I think: https://clients.inceptionhosting.com/cart.php?gid=22

  • He may be looking at the promo page.

    Ah!

  • AnthonySmithAnthonySmith Member, Host Rep

    Thanks everyone it was a good year, I hope people got the sales they were looking for!

  • @AnthonySmith: Those were a bunch of great offers, thank you for that!

  • Finally grabbed a server.

    So much ummming between the options and in the end I picked the wrong one facepalm

    Thought I clicked the 25GB NVMe SSD but had actually clicked the KVM SSD Cached.

    Lesson: Don't be an idiot and click purchase at 5:30am.

    Indeed, that's a puzzling difference. Do both have the flag AES passed through?

    I can switch your packages, just pop a ticket in.

    Regarding the test, I am not sure what the reason for that is, the CPU use on the E5 nodes is pretty low generally, obviously the 2 vs 4 is not relevant as that is a single thread test, perhaps they have theirs turbo'd up.

    from the NVMe server (test VPS)

    Processor:    Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 v6 @ 3.80GHz
    CPU cores:    2
    Frequency:    3791.994 MHz
    RAM:          985M
    Swap:         255M
    Kernel:       Linux 4.15.0-20-generic x86_64
    
    Disks:
    vda     10G  HDD
    
    CPU: SHA256-hashing 500 MB
        2.444 seconds
    CPU: bzip2-compressing 500 MB
        4.046 seconds
    CPU: AES-encrypting 500 MB
        0.833 seconds
    
    

    So not quite sure how an old gen low clock single thread E5-2620 manages to even come close to a v6 uncontested E3-1270 on one of the tests but such is life....
