We've installed new servers with all patches for every known CPU bug.
If you run anything sensitive on our infrastructure, contact support and we'll move it to the new servers. Those using a few dozen GB of disk space will have priority. If you've had I/O performance problems recently, get in touch too.
For now, the new servers only have three 2TB SSDs in raidz. We'll add more in groups of three, costing around 60-70 thousand crowns at a time, which is why we're doing it this way.
They're second-hand Intel machines: 2× E5-2680 v4 @ 2.40GHz (28 cores, HT disabled) + 512 GB RAM, Dell R730xd. Each cost around 300 thousand crowns (SAS3, 2x10GE, iDRAC enterprise and what not). In vpsAdmin, they're called node17.prg, node18.prg and node4.brq.
You'll find plenty of pictures of the new servers in our photo gallery.
I'm quite pleased with them; they're running nicely.
But to be honest, what I'm looking forward to most is AMD coming up with a somewhat updated fabric between its chips, and DDR4 getting cheaper... For now, Intel still leads in performance for our use, even with all the CPU security patches applied.
Videl som tie delly vcera na bankovom vypise a bol som zvedavy co to je. Pekne stroje.
