>> At our most expensive location, we get 64GB ECC RAM, 4x1TB RAID 10 (hardware), Dual E5-2620 and 4 1Gbps adapters (bonded, 2x public, 2x private) for around 60% the price of an M3-2XLarge.
M3-2XLarge = $720 per month, 60% = $432
As a softlayer customer, I would be very surprised if you can get 2620/64GB/4TB disks at this price range, we also consider ourself not a small customer, but for the above config, I guess we need to pay $800+. (after discount)
- nasalgoat 13y agoAre you including the up-front payment required for reserved instances?
- tszming 13y ago$720 is the on demand monthly price for m3.2xlarge.
- latch 13y agowe use 100tb.com, a sofltayer reseller. It's $359 + $50 since both DC and SG aren't official 100tb datacenters: http://www.100tb.com/server-deals/ http://www.100tb.com/server-deals/ We get access to Softlayer's vpn, their control panel..pretty much everything. Years ago, at a different company, we used Softlayer proper...you can negotiate prices down by huge amounts..even so, they are overpriced when you take into account their reseller. (Note, I know the deal says 48GB, but we have 10 or so of those servers, and they all came with 64...ssshhhh).
- tszming 13y agoThanks for the link. We have several 48GB machines ordered directly from SL, even after so called discount from SL's sales, we need to pay around $5xx per month.
- hexedpackets 13y ago$720/mo is solely for the instance. Add in the cost of traffic (Softlayer appears to give you 5TB, so let's use that) and you're up to $1463/mo.
