Hey Fellas,
What tools do yall use to benchmark a newly purchased KVM, and what kind of results do you consider to be acceptable vs crap?
Thanks!

YABS & Monster Bench.

The result are depend on CPU, network, and disk performance.

YABS is an artificial benchmark. We need push-up benchmark i.e. encoding push-up videos. Some recent results:

How did you manage that kind of disk reads? I have a dell r810 with some ssds and i only get ~500MB/s

Also, is >1 GB/s expected for lowend kvms?

That is NVMe from NexusBytes. So they are very speedy.
