(Quote) As I said, our test node has been fantastic. It's a huge spend for us, but I think it's worth it. Francisco

(Quote) Intel's XEON-E stuff is nice but it has the same exploits and isn't a new arch, it's just the same with some (faulty) hardware mitigation's. A new arch is likely 2022 for regular consumer purchasing. We'll need to upgrade sooner or later, s…

(Quote) Try to be :) (Quote) While EPYC would be cool, people get slices because they want high clock CPU's. 2Ghz isn't high clock and no ones going to use that for gameservers/single threaded apps. We have a test node up that has been fantastic. …

SVM1's price has to go up to pay for all of the development they've had to do. Short of Phill coming out and saying "Not gonna happen, not gonna do it", I would bank on it. Francisco

(Quote) Your ship, captain. Francisco

(Quote) That's some peak Solus right there. Francisco
-
(Quote) There's no reason for them not to increase to similar pricing to SVM1. Again, their team is fairly small and I don't think they want to have to hire a massive support team to take all of the SVM1 refugees. (Quote) There's only 2 public modu…

(Quote) I'm assuming they've spent a lot of time and money to get Solus.IO going. I suspect SVM1 will go up 2x+ in cost for the legacy stuff. Francisco
-
(Quote) I suspect they'll leave SVM1 alone but 2x-3x the price on all licenses. Francisco
-
(Quote) I figure that or just a cross the board ramp on SVM1 licenses. I just don't see that many providers moving to a product like Solus.IO, especially anyone in this market. Francisco

(Quote) it's 5EUR per core boss. You're spending 40EUR/month to license an 8c/16t core box. Francisco
-
(Quote) Right, it's everything. Thanks for the interest. Francisco

I'd stay clear of Interworx as they're owned by a host, not a development firm. Main concern is they will likely focus on what they want more than what the market is after. I could be wrong but I've never trusted such situations. Anyone thinking Vi…

(Quote) Just what the Doctor prescribed! Francisco

(Quote) There's at least one person showing a 9 vCPU on an 8 thread box. You also just proved my point. You were at this for 3 years, but made no motions to be more sustainable. Move to colocation, things like that. Maybe you were profitable, but …
-
(Quote) Try not to take this as a put down, but how can you do the math on such a plan and go "this sounds like a completely sustainable product that I'll possibly put my livelihood on"? I'd shake my head when I would see their offers. T…

(Quote) OLS is lacking in its .htaccess abilities. For instance, you can't do ACL's like: order allow,denydeny from all I ran into this today helping a customer secure their WHMCS vendor folder. Francisco

(Quote) Law of the land my friends. Francisco

(Quote) Yes, it uses a lot more power. It's something like 3W+ per side. Francisco
-
(Quote) That's the board we use. They have a 2T version which has dual 10gig copper ports. For us, we use the D4U since our Infiniband 3X VPI's have a 2nd port on them that can operate in 10gig & 40gig ethernet simultaneously. Francisco
-
(Quote) I'm using them in 1U's. Cooling becomes a problem if you're rimming the cores 24/7, but then you'll just throttle anyway. You can disable turbo (at least in Linux) and that seems to keep it from throttling, but you aren't going to see past…
-
IPMI is no problem, the ASROCK boards have it. Cooling is harder but so far things have been decent. The supermicro chassis i'm using have 3 x 15k RPM fans at the front that do help push a lot of air. I wouldn't mind finding a 1U passive and see …
-
(Quote) I'm not sure but that sounds like something Joe would've done :P There's plenty of options for affordable DA licenses. Francisco

My main concern with interworx is that it's still owned by a datacenter now. They'll put their own interests ahead of anything the market will want. Even back in the day it was basically that where it was mostly just a panel for Nexcess to use for …

(Quote) Got our first test ryzen node up the other day. Runs like a champ. I expect to do a full Vegas replacement inside the next 60 days. @joepie91 anyone have benchmarks to see the performance loss? Francisco
-
(Quote) A few people I know talked to them and basically it's there for the rare flood here/there, but if you're getting slapped and eating 30 - 50Gbit, you're going to get nulled. Francisco
-
(Quote) Basically. Some nodes are quiet so we can allow some excessive usage but I'd need a reason as to why you're using so much on so little. Francisco
-
(Quote) So DirectAdmin isn't like cPanel where a user can have their DNS cluster attached and their zones sync there. I've got a few resellers that run their own dnsonly boxes that are linked to their reseller. If you're in full root control of you…

(Quote) The DO guy that was on hackernews mentioned that DO is operating at a slight loss but still has the majority of their cash reserves from the their 2nd round of fundraising. Remember, Choopa owns gameservers.com and is on a very short list o…

(Quote) Probably not. Much of the 'startup mentality' for employees is to be changing jobs every 18 months or so to 'increase your market value' or some shit. There's no doubt they're spending literally millions in payroll & benefits every mon…

As the others said, no one is allowed to resell licenses. My licenses, as well as the hosts that @uptime mentioned, are "value added" licenses, meaning we're allowed to include them with a service to be used within our datacenters, but we…

(Quote) Is it finger licking good? Francisco

(Quote) :) If you have service in LV you can request to be migrated to those nodes to help test/etc at the end of the month. The test will run for 1 month looking for any problems with the setup. If we're happy, it's go time. Francisco
-
(Quote) This month... :) We'll do a full announcement but at the end of this month we'll put out some 3900x based nodes w/ NVME storage, 10Gbit uplinks, in Vegas. If the beta goes well we'll do a mass replacement & upgrade to all Slice custome…

(Quote) I've had like 4 different Cogent reps try to get me signed directly with them. Troy's been the only one thats been there longer than a year. Francisco
