Exactly, there is a small cache that transparently keeps a copy of the most recently used data blocks. This approach keeps the most frequent read and write access away from the actual hard drives, and thus saves the capacity for when it's unavoidable. However, as Advin mentioned, you won't see these speeds if you try to…

Those specs look quite familiar. Am I right? :) — Michael

That's because he had a smaller plan that didn't had 4 vCores.

Long time no Alwyzon YABS in this thread. Let's change that with an Alwyzon Virtual Server M. By the way, all new orders are now provisioned with 2.5 Gbps ports since start of May: # ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## Yet-Another-Bench-Script ## v2022-05-06 ##…

No, we don‘t use VirtFusion. As mentioned, the templates are created in-house, more specifically through some semi-automated approach using libVirt & KVM directly not, some third-party panel. — Michael

Indeed, no SolusVM at play here. The templates are created in-house, so there is no need to wait on anybody. — Michael

Already available as preinstalled option at Alwyzon but I don't recall seeing anybody being brave enough to pick it at a new order. :p — Michael

Glad to hear that, Amitz, and thanks for sharing your experience! :) — Michael

The Virtual Server series is back in stock and now with a slightly newer CPU model; Milan vs Rome! 🙌 # ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## Yet-Another-Bench-Script ## v2021-12-28 ## https://github.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## #Thu Feb 10…

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 thought.) — Michael

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 migration upfront that’s not really an issue. The advantage of Ceph is replication…

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. ;) — Michael

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 the calculation of the checksum can quickly become the bottleneck in large setups.…

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. If you ever spot a server responding to the hostname canaryX.local in your…

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 server># for ex: iperf3 -c lg.vie.alwyzon.net# or: iperf3 -c speedtest.iveloz.net.br…

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 around with ISOs. ;) — Michael

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 # ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ## ##…

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 without getting noticed Happy sys admin day everybody! — Michael

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

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 want to go further, pick Alpine Linux (a few MBs, commonly used for…
