OVH EPYC Processor Frequency Anomaly

So I'm looking forward to buy something like the Infra-3 server from OVH (https://www.ovhcloud.com/es/bare-metal/infra/infra-3/). They offer a 4x60GB SSD Sata hard Raid, and also a 3x3.84TB SSD NvMe Soft Raid. And althought I want more space, I think they sold the 4x960 so people can wain more speed? How much more speed could I win from that configuration?

Also they sold a 3x6TB HHD SATA Hard RAID. I want to know how much speed on I/O should I get in every case.

Currently I got a Infra-2 (https://www.ovhcloud.com/es/bare-metal/infra/infra-2/) with 2x960GB SSD NvMe SoftRaid + 2 x 6TB HDD Sata Soft Raid, How can I test the speed of I/O of those hard drives?

And If I start a new server, what kind of partitioning do you recommend to improve the I/O?

Hi there!

I currently have 3 Proxmox servers in a cluster with OVH, but their customer service is shocking to say the least.

I've been trying to find a similar provider, but I can't find anything near as comparable for the price/spec I'm after.

The spec for each server is:

AMD Epyc 7351P - 16c/32t - 2.4 GHz/2.9 GHz
256 GB ECC 2400 MHz
2500 GB SSD NVMe
UK (This is a must)
Proxmox VE 6

I don't need any managed services, just access to the bare metal.

Can anyone recommend a provider who can provide me with a similar spec and price to these? I currently pay around £200/month per server.

Thanks!

Customer support said they are proving a dedicated server with AMD EPYC 7501 Processors and We will get only 2 cores But AMD EPYC 7501 Processors 32 cores

If anyone using their dedicated server please help me find help me about this issue

I am thinking to buy AMD EPYC 64 core Server
But I am confused in AMD EPYC 7702p vs 7702. Both spesification is same but price wise there is aprox 20% diffrent.
So my question is 7702 is good or bad? why it is cheaper?

I am thinking to buy this server. It is good? Please post your valuable feedback

What is the actual meaning of Dedicated servers ? ok the answer is a dedicated server is a type of web hosting in which a client has the exclusive use of an entire server. So that mean VPS also a dedicated server. We used that word a decade ago for Bare Metal Servers. I think we should correct the WHT category as Bare Metal Servers. This is just a suggestion. What do you think about that ?

Rackspace has recently tripled their prices with us after our contract was up. So, we have servers that they are trying to force us to sign a new contract with them for a considerably higher price.

So, with that being said, we need 5 dedicated machines with these specs or similar:

Server Platform: Dual Processor Multi-Core Dedicated Server - Dell R720
• Processor: Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2640, 15M Cache, 2.50 GHz, Hex Core QTY: 2
• Random Access Memory: 128GB
• RAID, Set 1: RAID 1
• Drive Selection, Set 1: 600GB 15K SAS 3.5inch QTY: 2
• RAID, Set 2: RAID 5
• Drive Selection, Set 2: 600GB 15K SAS 3.5inch QTY: 3
• Drive Partitioning: Rackspace Suggested Partitioning QTY: 1
• Operating System: Windows Server 2016 Datacenter 64Bit QTY: 8

We will need about 12 ip addresses per machine.

We will supply our own windows licensing. Drive space cannot be less but definitely would like more space.

They would need to be in the USA. The time frame for 1 machine would be needed as soon as possible whereas the other 4, we will need as time permits to move the data over.

We need reliability, which is something Rackspace does well.

I hope I covered everything.

Thanks!

I'm a small business owner and developer since 2003. We have a few dedicated servers, each one with a different host. One of these hosts was sold and the new owner wants us to use a new server in a new location. We are considering switching to another host. This server runs some important client web sites, our own site, and web apps we're developing.

What we're looking for:
- unmanaged bare metal dedicated server, Intel Xeon 4c/8t minimum, 6 or 8 core preferred
- 16GB RAM, 32GB RAM preferred
- 1TB (or 960GB) SSD, 2 x SSD software RAID preferred
- FreeBSD 11 or 12 (our other servers are FreeBSD 11.4)
- $140/month or less (we're paying $130/month now for the current server, no SSD, 16GB)
- US data center, east coast preferred

Obviously we want a decent data center and good customer support but we also want a company who is going to be around for the next 10 years and isn't likely to be bought up by some Wall Street investment firm who doesn't care about the customers of the smaller hosting firms they're purchasing.

Hosts I'm researching:
- Vultr
- OVHcloud (the US branch)
- Linode
- Hivelocity

So far, OVH seems to have the exact hardware, price point, and data center but their billing system worries me.

If you have any experience with these hosts, good or bad, please share. If you work for one of these hosts, I'm open to offers.

thanks,

Robert

So, I'm looking for a big server to migrate my old server from OVH. Seems like Im taking the most powerful AX server (https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax161) or maybe the second most powerful Dell Server (https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/dell/dx181) (both with AMD EPYC 7502P, but Im wondering whats the difference between those options. In Dell I can Install 2 more disk than the AX servers, that the only difference, but I read that Dell Server have an special RAID hardware. Is this price efficient? Does the ax161 server comes with any kind of RAID installation?

I want to do a RAID-1 configuration.

I need recommendations for providers for an unmanaged dedicated server in a Chicago or Illinois Data Centre - the location part is non-negotiable for specific application latency reasons.

Ideally need:
Epyc Rome/Milan or Threadripper 64 core CPU
Minimum 128GB+ RAM
minimum 2x1TB NVME SSD
5+ IP's
10GBPS uplink
15TB+ monthly bandwidth + reasonable overage costs
USB for hypervisor

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a new server for my web hosting company and really interested in Vultr HF 12cores CPU vs Vultr Bare Metal 8cores/16 threads @3.7GHZ.

I have always used their VPS and have been happy with it so far, from RAM/ storage + internet speed pov, it seems Vultr Bare metal provides better value compared to their HF lineup.

Would 8 cores dedicated CPU outperformance a 12 cores vcpu? for web hosting? Assuming both hosting the same amount/ type of wordpress site?

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks everyone.
