I think the 99% SLA vs a few more nines can be the deal breaker. And you probably didn't even get a full 99% - with all due respect, as you likely didn't need it in the first place for a mining rig. I know plenty of serious workloads that would accept as little as 90% availability (~1 full day down every ~10 days), and plenty that need a large amount of 9s (seconds, maybe a minute of downtime per month on a normal basis, everything more is an outage).
- semi-extrinsic 5y agoI don't know of any HPC facility that aims for/achieves anything beyond 99% uptime, most well-run ones are probably 98%-ish. And that is just raw uptime, as an end-user you also have to live with you jobs waiting for the scheduler to fit them into the queue. A day or two waiting time is pretty common on larger jobs.
- H8crilA 5y agoYup, exactly. But datacenters handling live user traffic aim for much much more than 98%.
