http://dumps.consumium.org now online, the 2nd server. I chose the Finnish hosting guys because: | |||
#) of the inevitable demand for backup space and with as low as 100 or 200GB the cost-savings were substantial | |||
#) I am foreseeing a future rise in server performance demand as we begin with the implementation phase. | |||
In their solution we can have all VPS bought from them in the same subnet and then via the API ( or the web interface to the API ) you can configure the L3 [[firewall]] that controls traffic in or out of any machine in the subnet so that should yield a high performance system with only a few handfuls of virtual servers. Physically their computers are connected to each other over 10Gb/s Ethernet and their storage solution is fast SAS-disks connected to an extremely low latency 40Gbit/s [[w:infiniband]] network and [[w:SSD]] read caching in the middle of the disks and the superfast network. | |||

Looking at two potential VPS-from-cloud providers, http://www.gandi.net and http://fi.upcloud.com . I use the former for domain registry and really like it. Seems like an extremely solid and sympathic company otoh the latter gets cheaper and cheaper in comparison when the requirement for diskspace goes up. The fi.upcloud.com uses fast SAS disks attached to 40Gbit/s infiniband networking ( 4 x the speed of 10Gbit ethernet and lower latency ) . | Looking at two potential VPS-from-cloud providers, http://www.gandi.net and http://fi.upcloud.com .
