    Hetzner AX41-NVMe is basically double of what you're looking for, at just over 50 dollars for one. Of course, this is assuming you can find one.

    How do you compare this machine against the above

    Dual E5-2650V2 , 64GB RAM and 4x500GB

    My purpose of usage is for web server, db server, loadbalancer etc. Does the above machine will outperform the above for my need?

    And do Hetzner provide LAN for all the machine we own?

    The Xeon machine will have 10-15% more CPU performance (if that is a factor, which it rarely is). If the disks are at least decent SSDs, and you use them in RAID-10, it should perform similarly (speaking on a very general level) to the Ryzen dedi, but the Xeon is probably a fair bit costlier. If you can detail your exact usage, perhaps I could help more. Yes, the Hetzner internal network is available to all products.

    My requirement is to host a magento 2 website which is very heavy on a cluster setup. for the pricing above, I can optimize the cost considering my current setup which I did on the above CPU.

    When I see the benchmark, Ryzen is having 22K benchmark and where as the mine 2xCPU comes at 16K benchmark.

    Does that means, Ryzen is better than my current CPU?

    Will it suits for PHP , MySQL , Redis and other purpose?

  • jsgjsg Member, Resident Benchmarker

    If your priority is highest quality and budget is less of a concern I'd look at @Clouvider. If on the other hand budget is of concern and you can live with a bit less of everything (connectivity, etc) - but still want excellent support and a nice dedi I'd have a look at AlphaVPS/@AlexBarakov. A rather experienced and demanding friend & colleague of mine considers both of them excellent choices and has had multiple dedis with AlphaVPS since years.Finally there is also the obvious (but not necessarily the best) choice, @Hetzner_OL.

    Yes, it would appear that the Ryzen is better for your specific use case, if the benchmark results are valid. You should check out the AX-line, all of them are very competitive.

    Also, I would recommend checking out LiteSpeed. I believe it has a plugin for Magento, which should definitely help you.

    E5-2650V2 is a rather old processor and even its turbo speed is lower than the Ryzen 3600's normal speed but it has 2 more cores than the Ryzen. Also the Ryzens use DDR4 memory so it's no surprise that the Ryzen 3600 is almost twice as performant (assuming it has decent memory, say at least 2600 MHz).

    But your Xeon dedi has two processors so all in all your processing power is about the same as the AX41-NVMe, although the Ryzen is still faster due to its considerably faster memory.

    Does the above machine will outperform the above for my need?

    No or only slightly due to faster memory.

    I think you are mistaken. An SSD is considerably slower than an NVMe (typ. 2 - 3 times slower) although for most hosting use cases that is no issue and SSDs are just fine. And no, the Xeon E5-2650 v2(!) is not more expensive; both the processor itself and the server (2nd hand) is much cheaper than a Zen 2 system with roughly comparable performance (as is the case here). A typical end user price for say a Dell (nice quality) server incl. two 2650 v2 and some memory (often 16 or 32 GB) goes for around $300.

    For that kind of workload you want mainly 2 things, (a) many cores, and (b) lots of RAM (as in "the more the better"). I'm assuming of course that at least 2 of your 4 disks are halfway decent SSDs. Also check your memory speed. DDR3 is 1033 in many server from back then; if so try to get 1600 memory.

    Edit: If power consumption is a factor for you then the Ryzen 3600 wins hands down because it only consumes 65 Watts while two E5-2650 consume almost 200 W (3 times the Ryzens consumption).

    How important is that IPMI? And are you willing to buy 3 or 6mo at a time to secure a better rate?

  • HaendlerITHaendlerIT Member, Host Rep

    All our dedicated servers are connected to an KVM over IP switch.
    Thats not a IPMI, but for the most needs that's enough.

    If that will work for you feel free to contact and discuss some solutions with me.

    The CPU might be cheaper, but the dedi itself would be with a non-Hetzner provider, which would almost certainly make it more expensive.
    I don't know his exact workload, but the AX41-NVMe only has consumer NVMe drives, which is why I said it would probably perform similarly (comparing assumed enterprise SSDs in R10 to consumer NVMes in R1).

    No, the whole box is cheaper, much cheaper (for the provider to purchase). Now look, if you are a provider and you want to offer a dedi with x GB SSD (or whatever), y TB traffic and you have to either buy a (usually new) Zen 2 system for say 3 k$ or a 2nd hand Xeon system for say 500 $ and obviously the Xeon system costs you much less.

    True, a brand spanking new Ryzen is way more attractive than a 10 year old Xeon, but it's also much, much more costly which of course also shows in the dedi rental price. Normally.

    But there is a but: A large or at least rich provider can afford to think differently and to spread the purchasing cost over some expected life-time, say 8 years which brings the monthly cost of a Ryzen dedi at least roughly in the ballpark of financial feasibility. And the provider can offer something everyone and his dog want and are crazy about, which obviously helps selling.

    For a large and world-wide known provider like @Hetzner_OL they (a) have the financial power needed and (b) might perceive the current situation with much higher contrast. Explanation: Assume Hetzner didn't offer Ryzen; that would risk to severely harm them ("they are uncool", "they are backwards", "they only have old crap"). If on the other hand they did what they did and purchased and offered a tasty portfolio of Ryzens - and cheap at that - they can only win and they will attract many new customers.

    And then there is the big red elephant, namely the fact that most people do not even come close to using their hardware (incl. VPS) but at the same time are hardwired to be attracted by numbers (like benchmark numbers), so they feel that "an old Xeon" isn't adequate anymore and "think" they should have a Ryzen.

    The fact however is that 98% of all hosting needs not only can be served well by "old Xeons" but those "old Xeons" in fact are oversized - and at the same time "undersized" wrt. memory and often disks.

    I was talking only from the point of viewing of dedicated machines that are rented from providers. Due to various reasons, in that particular niche, a Hetzner dedi with brand new hardware is almost always cheaper than a dedi with any other provider with old, used hardware. If somebody was thinking of colocation, your (admittedly well done) analysis is correct. Otherwise, for a normal customer, it's better to just buy a Ryzen machine from Hetzner.

  • Ok, so I ordered these machines - "AMD EPYC™ 7502P 32-Core with 128GB ECC RAM"

    Right now I having 4 MySQL ( Master, Slave, Slave, Slave ) on 2xE5 2620 V2 with 64GB Ram each and RAID10 - 4 x 256GB SSD

    I am planning to substitute with 2x AMD EPYC™ 7502P 32-Core with 128GB ECC RAM , 2x1tb NVME RAID1

    I am planning to follow the same idea for the web server too. So considering the above, will the performance will be faster or similar?

    Or I should go with a smaller server of these

    1) AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Octa-Core
    2) AMD Ryzen 5 3600
    3) AMD Ryzen 9 3900

    And more in numbers. Right now we have 3 web nodes, 4 mysql nodes, proxysql node, varnish, haproxy , nfs.

    If you can suggest which config suits for which I would be more thankful to you.

  • @AC_Fan said: Also, I would recommend checking out LiteSpeed. I believe it has a plugin for Magento, which should definitely help you.

    I checked their website and found they are charging based on worker process. When I looked into my server performance through Top command. I notice there are lots of php-fpm process ( more than 10 always )

    And as per their plans, I believe I have to go with unlimited workers which is costing 600+ USD a month. Is it worth spending?

    Do the speed claim by them really a truth?

    And what plan should you suggest for a store which is getting 30K visitors a day and have a lots of backend process.

  • AC_FanAC_Fan Member

    @imgmoney Not completely sure why you went with the AX161. For your setup, you get 10% more CPU performance per dollar, but much less RAM and Disks. The AX61-NVMe (3900) is much more balanced, in my personal opinion.

    Also not sure where you're getting 600+ USD from. LiteSpeed web server is 92 dollars for the unlimited version, and the Magento plugin is an additional 192 dollars.
    However, before going for those, I would suggest benchmarking the 3900 servers, I feel they would be more than sufficient for you. Even they say that it would improve performance to 2.8x: if you multiply the 3900 machine's price by 2.8x, you get 300 dollars, roughly. So, you can accomplish the same performance, using raw hardware, in 300 dollars. However, for LiteSpeed, you would need the 3900 machine + web server license + cache plugin license, which will cost roughly 390 dollars. So, 30% more cost for roughly the same performance.

    Conclusion: Simply buying more AX61-NVMe dedis gives more bang for buck, rather than mucking around with licenses.

    According to PassMark, yes, but benchmarking for your specific usecase is the only way to know. According to the PassMark scores, 3x 3900 is a bit lower than 2x 7502P (6-7% lower). However, you get dual 1.92TB NVMe drives and 128GB included at 84 euros, unlike dual 1TB NVMe drives and 128GB included at 126 euros.
    Personally, I think the 6-7% loss in CPU is acceptable for the much more balanced system. Also, since the AX61-NVMe is prebuilt, you'll get it much faster than the AX161, which much be customised.

    Then I suppose that removes it from consideration entirely. That's too much cost in simple license, which would be much better spent on raw hardware.

    In topology, it shows 2 processors, so it's running on both CPUs. However, geekbench is a general benchmark, you should find a way to load test your website to get an exact answer.
