(Quote) Thanks for sharing <3 In case anybody got interested in this beast, the Alwyzon Cyber Weekend sale is still ongoing and there is also some stock left for the 35 €/yr promotion of the Virtual Server XS. (The EcoServers are nearly gone th…

(Quote) Live migration does not require Ceph. Live migration works with KVM and any form of local storage as well. It‘s a bit slow, because it has to copy the entire VMs disk, but for the purpose of upgrading host nodes where you can schedule the mi…

(Quote) Yes, all servers in Vienna are running on Dells 14th and 15th Gen platform. There are even hints on Alwyzon.com that a real Dell fanboy might be able to spot. ;) (Image) — Michael

(Quote) The Storage Servers are RAID6, all other products are RAID10. Supported by enterprise SAS12 HDDs (WD Ultrastars) and a beefy hardware RAID controller (Dells flagship model the PERC H740P). The latter one is especially important for RAID6 as …

There are already a few Storage Server benches in this thread, but I just like to spin up servers on fully sold out nodes to run a YABS myself from time to time. Have to make sure monitoring didn't miss anything and user experience is still great. I…

Just setup cron to run iperf3 on an hourly basis for a few days. iperf3 is really easy to use anyhow. On Debian/Ubuntu, you can install it via: sudo apt install iperf3 No further config needed. To bench, just run: iperf3 -c <target iperf serve…

(Quote) No plans on DHCP and SLAAC, but you can find all information to configure a static IPv4/v6 in the client area. — Michael

Debian 11 is already available as preinstalled option at Alwyzon. Looking at the average provisioning times of roughly 60 seconds here, that might be one of the fastest way to get your hands on a Bullseye server at the moment and no need to fiddle a…

Just a mini-update towards the Alwyzon Performance Server line: instead of Xeon® E-2174G (no longer sold), you might now get a Xeon® E-2244G (newer model) delivered instead. But no worries, those are at least as beefy as the E-2174G. 🥳 — Michael …

(Quote) Yes, the most important part of backups: * Verify that the created backups work and contain everything to recover from a disaster * Monitor that they are continuously created too and that the backup automation does not breaks after a while …

SUSE Linux from a CD-ROM attached to a magazine. Downloading an OS wasn’t really a thing when your internet was billed by time. First impression? Well, dual-boot turned out to be single-boot in the end, so let’s say not so great at all. 😄 — Michael

It doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, but it's sbg.proof.ovh.net, gra.proof.ovh.net, rbx.proof.ovh.net, etc... — Michael (Spoiler)

I assume, you are asking for server distributions not desktop? If you want to stay mainstream, pick Debian (~100 MB RAM, ~1 GB disk for the system in minimal installation). That's already way less than what you will see with CentOS or Ubuntu. If you…

You are seeing: an Alwyzon Storage Server 1T (= VPS with 1 TB HDD/RAID6 for 5,20 €/month) Nothing new here, actually quite the contrary: the following bench was run on a hypervisor node that is full since a few weeks already and most neighbors like…

(Quote) Nice one. I like it. :) — Michael

How about a storage VPS in Vienna? Storage Server 1T: 5,50 € per month for… ✓ 1 GB DDR4 ECC Memory ✓ 1 vCore Intel® Xeon® Silver (2nd Gen) ✓ 1 TB HDD Storage (RAID 6/Cached) ✓ 1000 Mb/s Up- and Downlink ✓ Located in Vienna, Austria ✓ 1x IPv4 + /64 …

(Quote) Geizhals is a well-known company in the German speaking area and around since ~1996 according to their German Wikipedia page. Don't think they would have any motivation for forging prices or allowing fake sellers there. On the other hand, I'…

(Quote) Geizhals is EU-focused and retail only, but you can still use it to easily compare price history on the retail market. As you can see there, the model you linked was 293 € per piece in retail (pre-VAT); now the cheapest seller wants 667,50 €…

(Quote) Small sized consumer ones, yes, as they aren‘t suitable for Chia farming. But you shouldn‘t use those in a datacenter environment either. Large scale, durable, CMR disks nearly tripled in price. The WD UltraStar Helio-Seal series was ~250€ …

(Quote) For the majority of customers, the regular VPS series should actually be perfectly suitable. You will only see significant gains through the more powerful CPUs of the performance series if your workloads can‘t be distributed over multiple co…

(Quote) Yes, there is actually a launch deal scheduled for next weekend. Only next weekend, because there is one more thing... But, if you feel like you have to get your hands on these beasts immediately, you can already get the same deals today if…
