    11 secret herbs and spices! ;)

  • It seems interesting to provide it if there is a real need.

    Although, pertaining to this post specifically, OP is not Russian it seems

  • This issue came up when we ordered 350~ of their EX44 servers on the Black Friday sale (no setup fees)

    I don’t think that is what they had in mind when they made the offer :)

    I wish I could afford 350 EX44 servers, people are rich...

    @Cesslor said: As to why I don't buy my own hardware, getting desktop hardware colocated is hella expensive, in most cases, just the 1U/1 Tower space is 70–80% of the cost of renting a single server. If you now add kWh + the fact that we have to maintain them ourselves, we are at the same price as renting or above it, and that didn't include the cost of purchasing the hardware. We tried to build our own 4/5U custom chassis to fit a lot of main boards in it - but local providers rejected us since they asked us to get 1U per server.

    This is more or less exactly what we are doing :)
    It's slow to ramp on, manufacturing stuff ain't easy at volume.

    Eventually the prices will fall once we hit true volume production, getting stuff off the ground takes a lot of time, patience, effort and money.

    Our new platform is very dense, yet rather flexible. We should be able to push thousands of nodes in the market in upcoming years at incredible rates.

    Plan is to have 3 tiers right now:

    • EcoMD: Most stingy in power consumption and everything OpEx. U series CPUs ("6W TDP"), single NVMe. 1Gbps Unmetered. Quite limited offering.
    • MD: Low power CPUs (T-series or AMD counterpart) mostly with some up to 95W TDP CPUs in the mix, 1-10Gbps Unmetered, 1-4x NVMe. Bulk of nodes.
    • ProMD: Same as MD/ecoMD but with UPS capacity and at minimum 2x NVMe, newer HW etc. for where uptime and reliability are in higher demand. Prices are going to be much higher than MD.

    All of these will be dynamically priced based on demand and supply directly. The dynamic pricing might actually be enabled very soon, it's mostly coded and tested already, just not enabled. Eventually we will hit the sub-10€/Month price range.

    Now during development we only use 1 line of base nodes, but Q1-Q3 we are considering adding some N100DC-ITX from ASRock to start validating using standard mITX boards.

    We can currently put 336 nodes per standard 42RU rack. In theory we can push this to 672 nodes per rack. The first room in the new DC could go upto ~9400 nodes standard density or ~18800 double density.

    We already got what 18 different models, so i would not be surprised if we hit 50+ different models in just 1 short year as we start to ramp things up.

    Everyone should be able to a get a dedicated server, no matter their budget or specific needs.

    Sounds tempting, I wish you good luck

    We already do something similar with mATX boards. https://www.boothardware.com
