The internal network is a joke, it only works if you have all of your servers in one rack and you need to rent a switch to connect all of them. Online.net has a real RPN where you can add SAN storage to it etc etc.
The PX line is a Fujitsu Desktop PC with a server CPU and ECC Ram. For me that's a compromise I don't really like.
Also the network is a bit shitty since they don't route through DTAG (largest german carrier), you have to pay a premium so that they activate it for you, and that's only one thing that feels weird about Hetzner. Of course I understand the reasoning behind it, but still, why should I choose Hetzner if I can get a way better solution from Online.net?
- lossolo 10y agoIf you need xx TB storage servers then you will not find any cheaper hardware + storage + network option in EU than in hetzner. I have storage servers there.
- nik736 10y agoThat's true, I agree. If you just need cheap storage Hetzner is probably the way to go. On the other hand, if you need 24x 1 TB SSD storage with a 10gbit RPN connection: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CblcJ2pUUAAtbhK.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CblcJ2pUUAAtbhK.jpg :-)
- mysterydip 10y agoAre those R730XD's, or SC4020's? Can't tell from the pic. Either way, super cool!

- cahuk 10y agoYep, true. I use a used dedicated server for backup with FreeBSD w/ ZFS and 2 3 TB disks in mirrored ZFS. I pay 36 EUR/m for this setup. I think you must be lucky to get a similar setup for the same price from online.net.

- mschuster91 10y ago> Also the network is a bit shitty since they don't route through DTAG (largest german carrier) Because DTAG is a bunch of <insert choice swear word here>. What they did and continue to do to site/net ops, is amounting to extortion. It's good that Hetzner stands up to Telekom, lots of other net ops simply pay the extortion fee.
- nik736 10y agoYes, I agree, but as a customer that sucks. The customer is the one who suffers, Hetzner is the one who wins coz they don't have to pay.
