I dont think they are using the decomissioned submarine.. those are a bunch of mad swedes..IIRC
team.. and my output is small .
the one I posted has a total of 4.4 KW.. right? How many KW does OVH provide for the same?

same here (mj12 )
on topic :
Code:
Bakers shelf (will fit 20-24 tower cases or 72 mini ITX ATOM boxes)
2x20AMP electric
100Mbps unmetered
$659/month
look at the electric US colo provide..

I'm participating in something like this.
It is a distributed search engine called Yacy

I knew that - your average RAM can't even handle that speed, so you would definitely have to spread the stuff around. Still an amazing result!

I wonder if this can be beaten with the i7 CPUs on a few thousand Kimsufi's
few about covers it I think.

Each node had 2 Quadcore Xeons, with 8 GB memory
You most likeley would need the same amount of nodes, or even more to get to the same results.

I was looking at a distributed crawler/search engines. Yahoo is using Hadoop (from Apache) to do this, and then I stumbled upon some benchmark results for Hadoop:
Sort Benchmark:
Code:
100 TB in 173 minutes
3452 nodes x (2 Quadcore Xeons, 8 GB memory, 4 SATA)
Owen O'Malley and Arun Murthy
Yahoo Inc.
It's the current record (1TB @ 209 seconds). I wonder if this can be beaten with the i7 CPUs on a few thousand Kimsufi's
guys I can't see the power upgradeds costs..

Yeah remembering computer information is a lot easier than remembering people's names. But you will be pleased to know I saw that you were on MSN about 15 minutes ago so I still remember your name (for now)

I sleep like a baby after checking up on my servers in person
Going to Data centers at 3am is my favourite past time.

Good to hear I wouldn't want to be there at 3am unless I really have to...
I like Dell. They've come up with a "XS11-VX8" server using the Via Nano, sitting idle at 15W and 30W at peak load. You can fit 252 of these suckers into a single rack - 7.3KW... Woot!

dual core server? the reason of going colo is to have top notch hardware taking advantage of a good connection.. dual core for colo? No way..
if someone is planning to colocate: why would he buy something he can rent for a few extra bucks and avoids not only the hardware costs ( bought for higher costs than buying in bulk), but shipping ( with the probabilities of it being smashed as we saw many times) and having to worry about upgrades.. This is why you dont colo low end or mid end hardware..
a single server would overwhelm those shy 230 W...also take into account that servers tend to be multi socket ( even though a server can even be a via nano cpu based computer)

Yeah, true. But it kind of defeats the purpose of "saving money" when co-locating

Hi
With Colo enquires they do need to go through OVH.com, and all the servers are located in our Paris DC and not in Roubaix Valley.
The commercial team will be able to help you with this via email
https://www.ovh.com/fr/espaceclients.../supportv3.cgi or you can phone them on +33 (0)9 72 10 11 12
However if you do have an issues with this then you can get back to us.
It's hard to use 1A tbh. I have an i7 with 4 drives and nvidia 285 graphic card - full load on everything and it doesnt go above 200W. Its amazing... Take out the graphics cars like for a server and thats down to just over 100W leaving plent of room for more hard drives (they only use about 10W each).
freshwire

Of course the 1A is the usage your are allowed not the physical limit. Perhaps it is measured like 5 minute average at 1A.
The circuits are designed for surge allowances, otherwise every time you turn anything on the surge would trip the breaker. The circuit would never "blow up", that would be stupid. My server doesn't even surge to double its normal power rating when turned on so I doubt you'd have any trouble either way.
derchris

But not when you turn the system on.
After that ok, but while you power it on it will use more then that.
So you might blow up the power circuit

very tempting.. so we get everything unlimited for 99 euros? we donīt have to pay for anything else?

If the servers where geographicaly deployed, then I could understand that.
But everything is hosted in the same, frog leg eating, France.
So the "different offers for differen regions" doesn't appeal to me.
But I believe we can write what we want in here. No one from OVH is paying attention anyway.
OVH always give the good deals on the french site though.
derchris
19-08-2009, 03:58
But that is for a ded. server.
I was talking about colocation. Normaly you pay for traffic. Actually thats what the new offers are doing as well
They also offer Transit IP for 100 Euro/month.
Why? You can already get 100mbit unlimited (ok low priority transit) on a SP mini for Ģ35/month. OVH have the capacity so for 99 euros a month they can easily give you true 100mbit.
derchris
19-08-2009, 02:44
Yes, it is saying 100mbit unlimited.
That would be the first Hoster I know of who offers 100mbit unlimited traffic for a co-location.
But this is most likely too good to be true
derchris
19-08-2009, 02:34
Where is this showing.
Can you post a Link ?
looks like it, nothing saying otherwise...
if we colocated: would we be able to use the 100 mbps connection in an unmetered way? I am talking about the 99 euro plan for 1-3 U
