ServerBear Performance Comparison of Rackspace, Digital Ocean, Linode and Vultr
-
@aaronstuder that would be the Atom processor. Per thread performance is low. You get a lot of memory with that but not much CPU. Great for a lab. Much slower thread performance on physical than the VMs we are testing.
-
Linode is 5001.3 bogomips x 2 = 10,002.6
Scaleway is 4787.8 bogomips x 8 = 38,302.4
The C2750 is 85% more energy efficient than the Intel Xeon E5-2680 CPU.
In a data center with thousands of servers, that adds up quickly

have you looked at something like packet.net

You are comparing two cores to a full eight on a dedicated CPU. That the Linode is greater than 1/4 the bogomips when virtualized shows the difference.
And while yes, energy efficiency is important, so is largest scalable size and thread performance. Atoms are decent for certain workloads, but you need more of them to do it. But workloads for which Atoms are good, ARMs are better. So Atom often falls into a weird middle ground of "mostly only well suited for something that they are not ideal for."

Decent looking product, but no RAID on their entry level. Really meant for DevOps only.

@scottalanmiller They have RAID.....

Not according to their price list. Only more expensive options begin to offer RAID.

They are super pricey too... $300 a month, almost. Granted, that's their Type 1 system... I get half the CPU & RAM, but almost 10 x the storage for $25 a month through KimSufi.

Your still using that? How do you like it?

It's pretty good! I tried running XS on it, but XS simply does not like having one public IP and NATing VMs behind it... So I'm running KVM on it now. It's great!
I use Duplicity to backup my VMs and then ship the backups off to my Amazon Cloud Drive. I do not think their systems have RAID, but I get 16GB RAM, a 4 Core CPU (I forget which one) and 2TB of Spinning Rust. Bandwidth is excellent too.
I don't have any major workloads on it... Just a Chat server for my pops and about 10 people, a testing web server, and my ownCloud server with ~3 users.

@dafyre Can you explain how to do it with KVM?

We need some latency numbers from around the world. Anyone want to collect some for us?
Here is the first IP address. A long running ping (hundreds or thousands of pings) would be good, we need the final stats from that:
- 104.236.119.59
- 108.61.151.173
- 172.99.75.133
We have a good idea on bandwidth, IO, CPU and memory. Network latency is pretty huge.
