New Blade Server is Up

Well, my new blade server is running at Hosting365

I’m quite pleased, even so the server is in Ireland, ping times are in the low 30ms regions, here are a PING test from my location

64 bytes from 82.195.xxx: icmp_seq=7 ttl=56 time=33.289 ms
64 bytes from 82.195.xxx: icmp_seq=8 ttl=56 time=34.724 ms
64 bytes from 82.195.xxx: icmp_seq=9 ttl=56 time=33.542 ms

Now here is my ping test to a site in a Manchester datacenter (30 miles away from me)

64 bytes from 85.159.xxx: icmp_seq=0 ttl=56 time=29.258 ms
64 bytes from 85.159.xxx: icmp_seq=1 ttl=56 time=28.759 ms
64 bytes from 85.159.xxx: icmp_seq=2 ttl=56 time=27.768 ms

So, thanks for 365’s superb peering, it’s only 4-6ms more .. amazing ..

I have been doing some testing to the server for a few days now, nothing had broken and lagged down, so far, it’s all gree, I am hoping to start moving my Live sites to it this weekend, here are some specs:

Processor #1 Vendor: GenuineIntel

Processor #1 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5140 @ 2.33GHz

Processor #1 speed: 2332.701 MHz

Processor #1 cache size: 4096 KB

Memory: 1031608k/1048576k available (2081k kernel code, 16072k reserved, 868k data, 220k init, 131008k highmem)

And the best !!

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 7.7G

fas940head4:/vol/nas0/rcnlnas0 10GB

The first Volume suppose to be 10GB, but not a problem at the moment, can easily be changed later on when I need it, thats of course the root drive in the HP EVA system, the second is a backup drive NFS volume, with it’s own network interface … cant beat that 😉
