We are planning to provide KVM for resellers @ cheap prices, prices go as follows

@ 512mb ram 20gb disk -> 3$ -> when paid annually

@ 1 GB ram 30gb disk -> 8$

@ 2 GB ram 50gb disk -> 15$

@ 4 GB ram 80gb disk -> 25$

we can provide a max of 2 ips per vps

The node would be configured with RAID 10 HDDs , Dual L5639

How many people may consider this offer??

    What about the 512 mb one when paid monthly?

    This is overselling in a different way, you'll run out of CPU before you know it. I (personally) wouldn't buy it. And also, I doubt you calculated overhead and such. RAID 10 HDD's? How much? 12 core 2.13 ghz, how much physical ram? How much containers are you going to cram into this node? Please note;

    a Dual L5639 gets the same passmark as a single Intel Xeon E5-1620 v2.

    Well i dont intend to oversell ill be loading enough vms to support 44gb ram will be buying new nodes after each node fills up leaving 4 gb for host to keep its reserve

    Would you offer it whitelabeled?

    Thats what most resellers I spoke to would like.

  • RadiRadi Host Rep, Veteran

    I am not buying either, asked for the others to know.

    well it will be based on solusvm + the nodes will be @ ioflood if you would like to reserve a particular ip block for a rDNS ( $10 a month ) we will be happy to help / default it points to clouds4india

    This is the problem in your idea.

    You're not being realistic, you can only put about (assuming 512mb plans) 40GB on such a node, and I'm not even sure about disk i/o. however, if you'd put only 10-15 people you could assign 44GB yes (depending on how heavy people will use the node)

    That's potentially 88 VMs fighting over your disk. How many IOPS and MB/sec will each get?

    One IOPS per person is more than enough.

    7.2k RPM drives 4 x 1 TB raid 10 it should be enough for database intensive applications

    No. Even if you're using a really good card and relying on the caching; no. A standard disk can only handle (on average) between 50 and 100 IOPs given that they are "random" ( which most are . )

    4x HDD does not scale to "400 IOPS" due to how RAID10 works, but it is a lot more than 100 luckily.

    Either way, a single SSD can easily destroy that; even if it's a shit "Enterprise SSD" that Intel sells.
