Value-added items: Mainland optimized bandwidth can be expanded to 10Gbps, premium network (using CN2) and CN2 (three networks) can be expanded to 1Gbps, IP maximum 64, memory maximum 256G, data disk maximum 10T SSD

Same as the previous test of Japanese bare metal cloud, this time I used the e5-2697v2 CPU, the hard disk I/O was about 94MB/S, and the webmaster enabled bbr:

FIO tests hard disk read and write, more detailed data:

The default bandwidth of the Silicon Valley bare metal cloud is 100Mbps. We used speedtest.net to run it on the three network nodes in mainland China to see how much burst bandwidth it can achieve. The test data during the day is as follows:

For comparison, the following is the rendering of the backbone network explosion during the evening peak:

Continue to run other nodes in the Asian region:

Data from iperf3 running in Europe and America:

The data files stored on the test machine are downloaded directly by the webmaster Guangzhou Telecom using the browser at the following speed:

During the evening rush hour, you can also run to the following effects:

U.S. server, pay attention to the delay, the data below is obtained by testing more than 60 nodes in mainland China:

Outbound telecommunications, direct backbone connection:

China Unicom's outbound journey or backbone direct connection:

Mobile outbound, CMI direct connection:

Return to China Telecom: direct connection from Telecom’s node in San Jose back to China

Return to China Unicom: Take AS4837 from China Unicom’s node in San Jose directly back to China

Return to China Mobile: direct connection back to China from China Mobile's node in San Jose

Unix bench mark：

Streaming media test, for reference only:

To summarize:

General advantages, the price is indeed cheaper after using the 30% off discount code;

The three networks on the outbound journey are directly connected to the backbone, and the return journey is directly connected to the nodes of the respective operators in San Jose; as a conventional network, this optimization is quite reliable.

Disadvantages: This is a bare metal "cloud". It is not a bare metal server, let alone an independent server. In the performance test, it can be seen that the running score is low, which is a state between VPS and independent servers. Suitable for businesses with high CPU consumption requirements.
