  • 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 likely have moved in by now. But no worries, there are still plenty of them…
  • Nice one. I like it. :) — Michael
  • Checkout wget or curl. — 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 IPv6 included ✓ 5 TB Monthly Unthrottled Bandwidth [[ ORDER NOW ]] (All…
  • 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've seen obvious fake offers on Amazon, so who knows. However, last time I ordered…
  • 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 €. And, these are retail prices; sadly, bulk prices are usually custom quotes and I…
  • 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€ in February and is now still at ~700€ (excl. VAT). Even SSDs were hit (bulk price of…
  • 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 cores—such as single-threaded applications or sequential calculations. And, no, the…
  • 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 you want: * Virtual Server XS (2 GB RAM/1 vCore): 8,70 €/quarter 7 €/quarter…
  • That’s unrelated to what information you have to show publicly on your website; that’s about customer data collected for billing purposes. The EU (plus UK, Lichtenstein and Switzerland) requires any eCommerce sale to be documented and archived for tax evasion purposes and puts the burden of verifying the customers billing…
  • But, you do know that this causes legal/tax troubles to your providers? At least, if they are located inside the European Union. 😟
  • Yep, sounds like you are looking for a Juniper EX3400-24T or EX3400-48T. The first one (the 24 port one) starts at about ~1100€ new (plus ~800 € for the license required to use BGP). They do even have two QFSP+ port (ideal for creating a ring of multiple switches in different racks) and are likely more energy-efficient…
  • I don‘t think anybody would jump from Debian to AlmaLinux. If you are used to the Debian/Ubuntu way of doing things, you don‘t just start doing stuff the RHEL way. Also, many went with CentOS due to it‘s reputation of reliability and long-term support schedules. Any new distribution might first need to proof itself before…
  • Oh, I see. Sorry, but in that case I can't be of much help. The setup of the storage servers uses local SAS disks, so RAM and disk storage is always linked. Can't offer you more RAM without more disk space, otherwise utilisation of these nodes would be inefficient.
  • Since all the offers here already ask for compromises, let's continue with another suggestion: the production recommendation for PBS bare-metal installations is 4 GB, but that likely includes some of it for the memory-hungry RAID-Z2 (as also recommended in the same section of the documentation). But, there is no need for…
  • I get your point regarding redundancy, but what kind of disk I/O rates would you be looking for? Intel Atom sounds like a dedi, that should already give you fast disk I/O solely because it's a non-shared disk.
  • PBS is an amazing piece of software; even for backups of other stuff than virtual machines. And, while I see that you just want to fulfil the officially recommended system requirements for PBS, I fear that combination of price and requirements is a bit unrealistic. (Especially, since the combination of 4 GB RAM and 1 TB…
  • Very interesting tools. Both Teedy and paperless-ng look really useful and both seem to be open-source. If you get the chance to try both please share your impressions! – Michael
  • Any Austrians here? Look at that (barely existing) latency towards Magenta/DTAG network! :# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OS : Debian GNU/Linux 10 (64 Bit) Virt/Kernel : KVM / 4.19.0-14-amd64 CPU Model : Intel(R) Xeon(R) E-2174G CPU @ 3.80GHz CPU Cores : 1 @ 3792.038 MHz x86_64…
  • Welcome on board! Would you mind opening a ticket regarding the SSH keys with a few more details? Both, ecdsa/ed25519 and multiple keys should be supported. Would be happy to look into that. – Michael
  • Just as a short follow-up: the lack of IPv6 connectivity over the VIX should be resolved. :) – Michael
  • Thanks for sharing the bench. Hope the server is meeting your expectations! – Michael
