We use L5638's in our OVZ's and we really like it. An e5 build would be a bit faster (say 10 - 15%) but an E5 will run me $2000+ for CPU's/board, where as an L5639 setup is < $500. I'm all for performance but I see no reason to bleed money for such a small margin. Francisco

If the drives click you could always freezer them. You can put them in an airtight setup (static bags that are extremely tight against the drive) and just leave it in there for a few hours. This makes it so the steel will shrink a tiny bit allowing the head to pass freely w/o issue. I've had...

We're actually replacing the E3's in all of our setups sometime next month. The E3's simply don't provide enough cores for our needs so we're replacing all of them with dual hex core L5639's. While the 5639's are a lower clock (2.13Ghz vs 3.xGhz), there won't be nearly as much, if any, of the...

Leaseweb does the same. The standard LW support was pretty terrible when I was there (72 hour reinstalls were common) but you can pay top dollar and get crazy fast turn arounds on things. I only ever had IRC leafs with them when I was spending a lot of time/money on my IRC network. Francisco

I don't want to compete with my own customers :) We have many people that offer such services. Francisco

If you GRE it, sure :) But, why not just get a direct VM with us? Francisco

Hello everyone, We're happy to announce that DDoS protected IP addresses are now available on the east coast! How much do they cost? These IP's cost $4.00/IP/month. Is there a limit to how many I can buy? Nope, have at it. Can I GRE these to another location? Whatever you can do in Vegas...

Nearly. We just need some adjustments to the allowed IP's and we're good to go. You can already order the IP's and they will work once this is addressed. Francisco

I'm not sure if there's any ISP's pending applying our prefixes so I can't guarantee that paths will get better. I am hoping that L3 is on tap, though :) Francisco

Hey Rob! Welcome to the forums :) Staminus recently launched an east coast POP out of TELX. The server is already online, as is our BGP session. We're just waiting for them to fix an ACL blocking the rest of our /24 from routing and we're good to go. Francisco

I'm seeing about 20 - 30ms difference from the west coast. I'm at < 120ms compared to a usual 90 - 95ms. The latency bump makes sense from the west coast since it's going to NYC first then to Buffalo. If you're on the east coast you should see no increase if not a decrease since you aren't...

198.251.81.1 :) Got a few quirks to work out with the rest of the subnet but that should be done in just a little bit. Francisco

I'm handling the install now :) IP's should already appear for sale in the panel and will start routing in the next couple hours. Francisco

Morning :) It's quite possible some of the ISP's will approve the LOA tonight. The configuring on my end is only a few hours honestly. I'm spending most of my time waiting on compiles. Francisco

Hardware is being provisioned as we speak :) LOA has been submitted upstream to not only Staminus but to their upstream providers. Francisco

iptables -P INPUT DROP Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu- Francisco

I'm fairly sure he's wanting the firewall to tank with (provide basic ACLs, etc). There has bee multiple skidfests on WHT that have been trying to find providers that will provide them unmetered 10gbit/sec inbound for the sole reason to tank floods. One guy was like 'I want to be able to ride...

We're not using Choopa for filtering :P Choopa's network is incredibly huge so I wouldn't worry too much. They run pretty bitchin' SLA on it all. We'd simply haul from Staminus to our Choopa rack instead of to Buffalo, no biggy! Francisco

Choopa isn't till next year remember. Francisco

It might move to LA at a later time, depending on how things go with Staminus on the east coast :) We've been told 'really really soon' for the east coast deployment. According to the owner they're just finalizing their staff PXE deployment. Francisco
