Juniper house here. For what’s worth. Telia is going massive Cisco in the core on IOS XR with the new routers and new line adds with 400G ports. They just released PR about it.

(Quote) ^ yeah.

(Quote) Yeah but going after the price alone and using the same soho as everyone else means you compete on price alone, and there’ll always be a HostDoc cheaper than you, which will always win with you on price (at least until they die but then thei…
-
(Quote) Nah, definitely not as much. Hardware is, but you get what you pay for, in this case an actual server not a soho.

Who will be the first to offer VMs out of our location at FR6 :-)?

(Quote) This doesn’t affect as many 1TB ones, 256 and 512 however are/were a problem
-
That’s the general opinion and the one I share. I understand the problem here is the CPU frequency @AnthonySmith seems to need high clock and less cores rather than a lot more cores but a lower clock.
-
(Quote) I mean yeah, I narrowed it down to some of them being particularly sensitive to running hot, so if you had a “less resilient” drive, and you hammered it, you would run it hot and then through your own use you’d destroy it, but hey, this wasn…
-
(Quote) Aye.
-
We had major issues with this model of the drive, with frequent failures across a large number of the drives (if they work - they work well, but some fail quickly, badly, and early if they don’t). We have since stopped providing new services with th…

So we’re in the business of creating two (or three?) same threads in each of the forums now ?

Or use a Mac.

(Quote) It wouldn’t be terribly substantial but yeah, it could save some smallish number of £ :-).

(Quote) That, long ago switches were less available with J but i guess this now changed. And fibre looks better on pictures ;-) Not a deal breaker though, would just need an entire rack of those if that was to make sense.
-
A ton of pointing fingers at others, zero humility.
-
(Quote) Now this has 2x m.2 and could be at least sellable - but no barebone with this one as far as I can find
-
(Quote) See I’d ideally want to see a barebone when they already validated it will be able to cool what’s inside.
-
That’s the one I was saying has severely limited storage options (no NVMe, or one maybe 4 on a daughter, and no option to upgrade to 10G then)
-
Yeah, the risk here I suppose, when offering them as dedicated, is that someone actually might and then might expect the provider to get them to such a state they are usable at full load. You’re too using these Asrock Rack barebones, if you don’t mi…
-
(Quote) I’m genuinely interested in the positive way. I saw two barebones only from ASRR, one with and one with no hot swap. Neither supported NVMe on M.2 nor U.2, possibly one could put the daughter card to split NVMe out on this PCIe slot (but the…

(Quote) GDPR Also, I guess being cocky during a major fuck up is not going him any favours
-
(Quote) See, I’m coining out new phrases. When everyone uses it remind them I did it :p Of course Intel is in defence now, but it’s not like AMD is an ultimate solution in this particular segment yet.
-
@debaser they are also, at least Hetzner and OVH out of prime locations so cost of space is less and so they can do 2U+ chassis to accommodate this desktop without hiking the price.
-
(Quote) I don’t think they released the microcode, the one I have in hand doesn’t mention in the changelog. I’ve chased SM to see if there’s something newer I might have no access to. Digital Ocean mentioned they are also waiting in their mailing.
-
@Francisco to confirm, you’re doing it in 2U at the moment?
-
(Quote) And cooling?
-
Current options: Tyan - they have a mobo marketed for workstation but no platform, they don’t want to take any responsibility for this overheating. 1U chassis is risky, 2U will be expensive to the Customer. People who tried recommend 4U/Tower or ext…

(Quote) I beg to differ, biggest cloud providers run Epyc. By all means you’re welcome to do that. This doesn’t make the platforms for Desktop CPU - Ryzen - in server chassis - any more available though, but I’ll be sure to take a careful note of t…
-
(Quote) Juniper won’t fly in the budget, will have to be something else. It all depends what the OP is after. Ubiquity might do in the office and is user friendly, has clickable UI, etc. not really something I’d put in a DC unless for an OOB though.…
-
(Quote) No one says no, EPYC is the answer, if you need the actual density and have a budget for that.
-
(Quote) What do you want a provider to do when there are simply no suitable platforms, for the very reason that the CPU is not designed for this use case? This is not something that can be reasonably addressed at this level. Of course one can provi…
-
(Quote) There are some. Choice is extremely limited though and from those majority are indeed aimed at workstations - not servers, as per their very own marketing.
-
It’s simply not possible to deliver what you are looking for at a reasonable price, at scale, in these DCs at these power and space costs with Ryzen. Math doesn’t add up, nor it would if you calculated colo in the same locations. I’ll start with the…
