no server has limits

[Busby]

Does anyone know if the b/w is still 5TB/Month?

I paid partly via loyalty points, I should get mine quickly!

Off-topic, but I too paid with loyalty points for a KS on Thursday night when the website stated 24hours... Still waiting....

[Tz-OVH]

OVH will deliver servers firstly to the people they like and the people that have been loyal right from the start! Nudge Nudge Wink Wink for two weeks time when I order my 3 £2.50 servers and my Mini SP

[Thelen]

yer seems ovh randomly delivering orders >_> derp.

[takefocus]

i got my first one 15hrs ago, looks to be 1gbit down (internal and external), but only 200mbit up internal included. see http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.php?p=46803#post46803

Would be interested to know when you ordered it. I ordered 1 at RBX at 11am on the 25th July... not long yet, but would be nice to have some idea based on your deployment timing.

Cheers.

[rizuk]

Therefore, you must:
Have a Virtual Rack (vRack)
Have a dedicated servers which us SP, EG, MG or HG (1Gb/s) (Gigabit and Fast Ethernet) with the option for professional use.
Be able to connect via SSH (for Linux servers)


i guess so

[DigitalDaz]

For me the killer question is can we vrack them??

[rizuk]

thanks any benchmarks results?

lol sorry didnt notice the link..nice ta

[xendatious]

When will you guys start deploying the mSPs? It's been almost 4 days since I ordered now

[Thelen]

Uhm those points are only relative for certain applications. What you should really do is run a tough FTB/minecraft server and see how much cpu is being used.

e5 1620/1650 are quite a bit better than e3 1245/1270

[Arran]

The EG range has been upgraded to Intel Xeon E5-1650 now.

Intel Xeon E5-1650 @ 3.20GHz - 1866 points

Intel Xeon E3 1245v2 - 1991 points

From the CPU's I've checked that OVH offer, the £50/mo server has best single threaded performance.

OVH should make a comparison table.

[Vmlweb]

Why does one of the cheapest servers have the best 4 core CPU?

The EG range has been upgraded to Intel Xeon E5-1650 now.

[Arran]

Why does one of the cheapest servers have the best 4 core CPU?

Mini SP SSD - Intel Xeon E3 1245v2 (4 core 8 thread) - £50/mo - 1,991 points

EG 64G Hybrid - Intel Xeon E5-1620 @ 3.60GHz (4 core 8 thread) - was about £130/mo - 1,929 points.

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html

I know that now the more expensive servers are getting hexa/octo cores and that's only a quad core but not everyone hosts multi threaded applications. That CPU in the £50 is slightly better for me than the current £130/month one.

OVH could offer some super 4 core CPUs in the EG range for the few of us who are hosting single threaded stuff and would be better off with 4 super cores than 6 or 8 less good cores. Or am I the only one? Probably.

I just got an mSP SSD.
The connection is still 100mbps.
Is there something wrong?

open a ticket with the logs showing that's still at 100Mbps. Add the output for:

# ethtool eth0 output

Thanks

[Thelen]

just checked and I was wrong: no burst for SP servers. Only 200Mbps all directions max.

ah a shame but not too bad.

as per my email interested to see exactly how you're doing it, i assume using the ingress shaping in the nexus series, but..

Oh, that's disappointing

[marks]

Yea Marc replied an hour later to my email saying its 200Mbps guaranteed ovh-ovh, ovh-internet, internet-ovh, but you can still burst.

[Andy]

Edit: See later posts, it's not burstable.

[Thelen]

Sounds like it connects at 1Gbps then the routers shape it to 200Mbps.

Yea Marc replied an hour later to my email saying its 200Mbps guaranteed ovh-ovh, ovh-internet, internet-ovh, but you can still burst.

I did research and looks like they probably applying egress filtering on their nexus 7ks, so i'd say it is probably 1gbps inbound, but 200mbps to everything else, including other servers on the same FEX or switch.

[Andy]

So the switchport is 200Mbps not 1Gbps? Or do you shape out of uplink to 200Mbps?

Yep confirmed by Neil, the Nexus 7k + FEX solution they are using means it is 200Mbit ingress and egress on the mSP.

Sounds like it connects at 1Gbps then the routers shape it to 200Mbps.

[macole111]

But I have an old Kimi with RIPE blocks from when you could get them.

Guess it just depends on what you want to use it for

I agree.

[cartwright118]

The mSP looks good. Same price but better specification than I am paying for my kimsufi 16G. When will these be available?

Right now: http://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/mini-sp.xml it is £3 more expensive per month plus you need professional use option to use any RIPE IP block otherwise it is a good deal.

-macole111

£3 more a month, but you can have 3 failovers with it unlike the Kimsufi range where you are now limited to 1. Also, Oles just announced the new loyalty scheme with IP's, after 4 months you are entitled to 4 failovers, 5 months 5 failovers, 6 months 6 failovers.

Hi

That is correct, the SP Servers are limited to 200Mbps, they cannot burst any higher than this.

Hope that clears it up.

[rizuk]

These numbers are meaningless. I once ordered a server that said 24h, but waited around a month...

lol i just paid for the miniSP now but got no email notice yet..I hope i do not have to wait a month..

[elcct]

miniSP server ok i see says 72 hours

[rizuk]

Which model? Most likely it will take a few days to deliver the server, so the sooner your order the server the sooner you will get it

miniSP server ok i see says 72 hours

[Vmlweb]

Also will these new SP's be available in BHS?

[Neil]

Have a lot of stock? I'm looking to get one but end of the week or so hope this deal is still around

i dont think sp32G can push 1Gbps look at the website. it says ovh-ovh is 200Mbps guranteed only.

yer could be mistake on the website. less likely oles is wrong

[turbanator]

[rickyday]

That 32GB Ram will come in handy for VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) and tinkering with Hyper V

[rickyday]

Well I have two Kimsufi KS R-8G servers which are around £60 per month, so I think its a no brainer that I will be cancelling them and purchasing the Mini-SP on payday with 32GB ram and 4TB of HD space, its a no brainer and its £20 cheaper

[Vmlweb]

Say what? I'm confused by this. I can pay less and have 32GB ram than I do at the moment with my 16GB server?

Logic at it's best!

[MattGarner]

Say what? I'm confused by this. I can pay less and have 32GB ram than I do at the moment with my 16GB server?

[Vmlweb]

Oh and I also see an update to the Kimsufi range soon due to KS R-16G being £1 more expensive than this new MiniSP which makes it pointless to buy.

[Vmlweb]

Are these servers going to be available in BHS anytime soon?

[rizuk]

Wow that would suck if they Do not upgrade you what a price even with 32gb of ram
its this a limited time only?

[HostRange]

I don't have one of the new MiniSP yet.

My SP 32G are still 100MB and still 59.99

[rizuk]

Awesome.

The "- miniSP: Xeon E3 1245v2, 32Go, 2x2TB, 1Gbps with 200Mbps of guaranteed bandwidth £32.99 excl. VAT/month"

Is exactly the same as the SP 32G servers I currently have? That I pay £59.99 per month.

Will I still be paying £59.99?

What sort of speed you getting mate close to 1gbps

[HostRange]

Awesome.

[rizuk]

When did the miniSP go 1gbps? i had the i5 range that came with 16gb of ram a few months back it was only 100mbit max and now its on

1Gbps with 200Mbps of guaranteed bandwidth at a cheaper price? I might have to grab that

can you reach close to 1gbps? whats the average

[macole111]

Sounds very good, the miniSP is very well priced.
