RoboVPS Russia Intel Xeon E5-2670 HPE ProLiant DL360 Dedicated Server Test and Review
We recently put the RoboVPS Russia HPE ProLiant DL360 high-end dedicated server to the test. It has two Intel Xeon E5-2670 2.60GHz processors, 32 GB of memory, 960 GB SSDs for storage, a 1 Gbps internet connection, 30 TB bandwidth, and one IPv4 address.
Here’s a rundown of the tests we ran:
- We put the server through standard performance tests to see how fast and capable it is.
- We tested the server’s connection to the internet worldwide and how quickly it responds to pings.
- We looked at how well it unlocks media content from different regions.
- We tested the quality of the internet links using CloudFlare’s tools.
- We used PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to see how fast it can load web pages.
All these tests helped us gauge the server’s muscle and agility in handling web tasks.

Conclusion
In our Basic Bench test focusing on input/output operations and network speeds, the server showed impressive I/O speeds ranging from 545 MB/s to 642 MB/s. The upload and download speeds varied widely depending on the location, with speedtest.net recording nearly 941 Mbps for both, but speeds dropped significantly when connecting to areas like Chongqing, China. This suggests that while the server is powerful, geographical factors affect its networking performance.
The Yabs Performance Bench revealed strong and consistent mixed read/write speeds, showing the server’s quick data handling. For the finer points of computing muscle, the Geekbench 6 and UnixBench scores illustrated a high level of CPU performance, with particularly striking throughput capabilities as indicated by the UnixBench index score of 1142.7.
The server’s ability to bypass regional restrictions for media services was more hit or miss. It could access Amazon Prime Video and TVBAnywhere+ in the Russian region but didn’t fare well with other popular platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube Premium.
In summary, the RoboVPS Russia server demonstrated significant strength in processing power and storage speed, making it suitable for data-intensive tasks. However, its network speeds are influenced by location, and it has limited capability in terms of media service accessibility beyond its home region. Overall, it’s a robust server with some regional usage considerations to remember.
