Conclusion
In the initial Basic Bench tests, the server exhibited consistent I/O speed, averaging 797.3 MB/s. Results varied when assessing network performance through various locations worldwide. It displayed high upload and download speeds within the United States and performed well in some international locations like Paris and Amsterdam.
However, there was a noticeable drop in performance in mainland China, reflected in much lower speeds and significantly higher latencies. Performance across Mumbai, Singapore, and Tokyo offered a mixed bag with moderate upload speeds but more robust download speeds.
When looking at disk and overall server performance via the Yabs tests, we saw impressive I/O capabilities. The mixed read/write operations tallied up to 531.12 MB/s for 4k blocks and a sizable 1.09 GB/s for 1m blocks.
The Geekbench test complemented these findings with scores reflecting capable processing power: 1265 in single-core and 2258 in multi-core. UnixBench further confirmed the server’s robust CPU capacity, with particularly high Dhrystone 2 and Whetstone metrics, indicating superior computational and arithmetic calculations.
In conclusion, the Hivelocity server provides reliable and speedy performance for storage and networking across various benchmarks. Whether the user has regional or global needs, this server has demonstrated robust capabilities, except for some limitations in certain areas like China. Importantly, the server’s suitability for media streaming services suggests it could be well-suited for content delivery networks or other media-related online services.
