...and these kinds of issues, which I've faced myself many times, are why I'm building Uptano. The "cloud" vs "dedicated" vs "co-located" are issues that were created by the artificial separation of a few good ideas.
There's no reason you shouldn't be able to have dedicated hardware performance, instant deployability, on-demand usage-based billing, at costs close to, or better than, co-locating it yourself. As I'm working to prove with Uptano (https://uptano.com https://uptano.com)
I really think server hosting is going to look very different in a few years. We've not come very far in the past 5 years.
- moe 14y agoIn fairness, baremetal clouds have existed for a while. E.g. baremetalcloud.com, stormondemand.com and a few others. That said your offering strikes a nice balance in terms of price/performance. What I'm missing is bigger profiles (64G Ram please?) and information what CPUs and hardware you are using (blades?). "Compute units" are a terrible metric, give me a model number so I can look it up on cpubenchmark.net.
- staunch 14y agoThanks for the feedback. Bigger hardware profiles are definitely coming (some exciting profiles as well). CPUs vary a bit, but I added Passmark numbers. Clarified that the servers are 1U rack-mount machines.
