one happy customer bringing another on board
insightcruises.com is following stonehenge.com to ARP
kinda hard to ignore a good thing...
i can't believe how fast arp is...  the other Xen VPS systems I've tried have been slow
up_the_irons you around?
shmget: I'm sure the fancy disks and the non overtaxing nature of arp makes a difference
though I'd love to replcate the setup in my office for some in house testing, a friend tried kvm and was disappointed with the performance so went with the free vmware server .. I want to think there's some secret sauce in the wings makin it all fair scheduled etc .. but up_the_irons has released `his only mods' to kvm already
and they have absolutely nothing to do with performance
toddf: The secret sauce is in up_the_irons's PPA. :)
my friend has kvm on his fbsd box and runs debian on it, he thinks its great
fbsd as host or guest?
toddf: I was also wondering, kqemu != kvm
kqemu is nice on openbsd host too, until it crashes
is there any way to pre-pay for service (like 12 months)?
I'm sure up_the_irons would be happy to take your money, just ask support@arpnetworks.com
heh, thanks
toddf: sorry, fbsd is his host has kvm running on it
dbgi: that still makes no sense, kvm does not run on freebsd (freebsd being the host os)
toddf: hmm idk, maybe i misunderstood him
I bet he runs debian and kvm inside of which he runs freebsd
toddf i was just mistaken, idk why, hes useing qemu to run debian
toddf: there may be other factors -- RAID 10, 8x 7200 RPM disks will trump a lot of smaller setups; dual cpu w/ 4 cores (8 cores total) also hepls
*helps
backing store also -- LVM vs. flat file vs. qcow2
I use LVM
not sure how much all this comes into play, but all I can say is  It Works For Me(tm) ;)
RandalSchwartz: thanks for the referral!
vtoms: i'm at the data center, probably leaving shortly, what's up?
works for me too!
thanks up_the_irons :)
np!
is anyone from the company on?
anyone from ARP around?
