(Quote) We PXE boot TinyCore on each server that is not in use by a client and it runs a series of custom scripts, some of them every X minutes. These scripts report hardware information back to our APIs as well as power usage and other statistics a…

(Quote) I think that is the idea we are moving to. Provide a library of all kinds of ISOs first, and then add the feature to allow the upload of their ISOs...
-
(Quote) Great list! Of those, we use TinyCore quite a bit! And I wish we could offer MacOS VMs.....
-
(Quote) This is correct. We have enabled swtpm in all of our hypervisors, which emulates a TPM for Windows 11/2025. For Windows 11 licensing, the client would bring their own license, as we are not allowed to offer it under the Service Provider Lic…

We'd like to update that we just added Windows 11 to our platform as of today. :) We hope to be able to post some great at LES soon!
-
(Quote) The obstacle was just preparing our hypervisors to provide TPM emulation... but that upgrade is almost done... We'll have Windows 11 in the system soon. :)

(Quote) I actually like NIX a lot... maybe we can at least provide the ISO built into our portal...> @yoursunny said:

(Quote) Ahh Solaris... that brings good memories to my old college days... also IRIX, back in the days of Silicon Graphics workstations...
-
(Quote) You know, maybe it's time we support it... we have received a few requests here and there. Maybe it would attract more BSD clients...
-
(Quote) I had never seen that before! So many amazing projects out there... we are going to download it in the near future and play with it. Thanks!
-
(Quote) hmm yeah, not a bad idea. I guess in that case, we would pass on the effort to the client if they want to use something old. We can just make the ISOs available in our system in some pull down menu...
-
(Quote) We have a few large clients (especially government) that have some custom software that only compiles in X or Z version of some older version of an OS... In cases like that, the OS is provided fully firewalled for the customer.
-
(Quote) Your last sentence there reminds me of something that happened back when we used to offer colocation services... A customer asked us to do some upgrades to his server. When we opened the server, we realized that he used pieces of cardboard …

(Quote) That's a good theory also... it did not cross our minds...
-
(Quote) We asked them about when we can expect their new and reduced rates. No answer so far :)
-
Wait... Virtualizor saves passwords in plain text??? Our software wipes out the password from our DB once it is given to the client. Remember HyperVM? And its creator committing suicide when all HyperVM based hosts got compromised and destroyed bec…

(Quote) Miami seems to be a popular choice :)
-
(Quote) We actually went to see a few data centers up there last year... any preferences or experience with any of them?
-
(Quote) We've been looking into the Nap of the Americas, now owned by Equinix, down in Miami...
-
(Quote) That's great advice. I didn't think about Equinix LA3 and LA4. We are in talks right now with Coresite about their LA2 location...
-
(Quote) I just realized I never replied to your question! Sorry about that! The Infomart building is the popular colo destination in Dallas (think 1 Wilshire in LA or 55 Market in San Jose). Infomart is now owned by Equinix, but there are other col…

(Quote) Just so you know, the next servers you acquire from our next decommission, will also have those stickers on them. ;) I remember that decommission and our lead engineer tells me that he is the one that talked to someone from your team and ar…

(Quote) We've been in touch with Supermicro about their Microcloud servers with those EPYC 4000 series. It is an interesting alternative! Plus, we get IPMI and all their other enterprise features... BTW your rackcolo.com website is a very convenie…

(Quote) I surely did miss it all! I am catching up to some of it :)
-
(Quote) That's an interesting project! We'll check it out. We don't let continuous 90% cpu usage on shared plans, but we certainly will on dedicated CPU plans. Let me see if we can create a dedicated CPU offer that matches such needs... how many C…
-
(Quote) We have some plans with bandwidth allocations of 20TB+. Which CPUs do you normally seek? We do 2.1/2.4Ghz E5v4s as well as 3.4Ghz Xeon Golds in our high frequency packages. We also plan on introducing virtual server packages with dedicated…
-
(Quote) Not yet; routed IPv6 is something that we are now starting to test and will implement at all of our locations this year.
-
(Quote) I'd say it's certainly not normal. :) Our platform is our own custom design and we take security very seriously. Only 2 people here at ServerPoint have root access to servers; the rest of us don't, thus, we can't go around browsing through …
-
(Quote) hmm I'll have to go read on that gossip! But the answer is, we don't. We give you X amount of storage in your VM and that's yours to use as you please. We have plenty of storage capacity. Our virtual servers are KVM based with RBD disks o…

(Quote) I'm honestly not sure I know what that means... take advantage of customers in what way?
