A simple evaluation of gcore Basic VM’s Frankfurt data center in Germany

The second data center of gcore's basic vm is Frankfurt, Germany. Although the official website states that the minimum monthly payment is 5 euros, in fact, you can see in the control panel that the minimum configuration is 1G memory, and the monthly payment is only 3.9 euros...You can play the complete gcore cloud server for only 3.9 euros. If you want to deploy your business to Europe, you can take a look. This article will be the first review and is for reference only!

Some details you need to pay attention to when creating a Basic VM cloud server with gcore

The CPU model is unknown, the main frequency is 2.4GHz, the IP belongs to Germany, the current hard disk I/O is approximately 52.4MB/S (it should be deliberately restricted, the webmaster has opened multiple VMs and the test is the same):

FIO tests hard disk read and write, approximate data:

DD test:

Use speedtest to run the three network nodes in mainland China to see how much uplink and downlink can be achieved? Looking at the rough data, we speculate that basic vm is limited to 100Mbps bandwidth:

The following is the evening peak test performance data of speedtest nodes in mainland China:

Some international node test data from speedtest:

Test data of speedtest nodes in Asia:

iperf3 test, several European and American nodes, see the general effect:

Files stored on Test Chicken, Guangzhou Telecom home bandwidth, download speed:

Same test, download speed during evening peak period:

Evening peak, Hubei Shiyan Telecom, download speed:

Evening peak, Sichuan Meishan China Unicom, download speed:

Latency test of multiple nodes of three networks in mainland China:

Outbound telecom:

Telecom backhaul: direct connection back to China from Telecom’s Frankfurt node in Germany

China Unicom return trip:

Beijing direction: China Unicom’s Frankfurt node in Germany directly connects you back to China

Shanghai/Guangzhou direction: take telia to connect China Unicom backbone to return to China

Mobile return:

Beijing direction: Take Telia to the east coast of the United States and cross the United States to Los Angeles on the west coast, and then directly connect back to China from the mobile Los Angeles node

Shanghai direction: direct connection back to China from the mobile Frankfurt node

Guangzhou direction: Take Telia through London to New York and then to Seattle, and return directly from the mobile Seattle node

tiktok test, German region:

Partial cross-regional streaming media unlocking test:

Some streaming media unlocking tests in Europe:

VPS performance test:

A rough summary:

The current performance of VM is still quite powerful, of course, this I/O is particularly limited;

As for the Internet, especially China Telecom, there are direct connections back to China, while China Unicom and China Mobile have some detours.
