Conclusion
This report details the performance evaluation of a KVM-based Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosted on infrastructure utilizing Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors. The primary goal was to establish a comprehensive performance baseline, assessing its suitability for common enterprise IT tasks and workloads. Key areas under scrutiny included core compute capabilities (CPU and RAM), storage subsystem speed and responsiveness, network throughput and latency across diverse geographic locations, and the crucial aspects of IP address quality and usability for services like streaming and email. The findings aim to provide IT administrators and technical decision-makers with actionable insights for potential procurement or deployment scenarios involving similar virtualized environments.
1. Test Results Overview
The tested VPS configuration featured 2 vCPUs based on the Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 architecture, paired with approximately 4GB of RAM and a 40GB disk allocation, running Debian 11. CPU benchmarks yielded a Geekbench 6 single-core score of 898 and a multi-core score of 1162, with UnixBench scores reinforcing moderate single-thread performance but less impressive multi-core scaling. Memory bandwidth tests showed respectable speeds around 5.5 GB/s read and 4.4 GB/s write via sysbench. Disk performance, particularly via fio, was a highlight, demonstrating strong IOPS (around 24k for 4k blocks) and decent sequential throughput (~565 MB/s for 1M blocks). Network tests consistently indicated a bottleneck around 95-98 Mbps for both IPv4 and IPv6, irrespective of the test server location, though latency was generally reasonable. Streaming service compatibility was notably poor, and IP quality checks revealed flags indicating a hosting/datacenter origin with elevated risk scores.
2. Analysis and Insights
The performance profile presents a mixed picture. The underlying Xeon E5-v4 CPU, while a capable server chip in its day, shows its age in benchmark scores, particularly in multi-core results, which didn’t scale linearly from the single-core performance, perhaps hinting at resource contention or specific vCPU allocation limits on the host node. The 4GB RAM is adequate for lighter tasks but could become a constraint for memory-hungry applications, especially given the absence of a swap partition. Disk I/O, judged by the fio results, performed surprisingly well, suggesting the use of SSD or even NVMe storage on the backend, which is a definite plus. However, the network performance is clearly capped at 100 Mbps; while stable, this limits use cases needing higher bandwidth. It’s like having a performance car stuck in city traffic – the potential might be there, but the environment restricts it. The most significant concern lies with the IP address quality. Its poor reputation, reflected in streaming failures and high risk scores, makes this VPS unsuitable for tasks requiring clean, residential-like IPs or broad service compatibility. The geographic mismatch between IPv4 (Moldova) and IPv6 (Belgium) is also an interesting quirk worth noting.
3. Conclusion and Recommendations
Overall, this KVM VPS offers a somewhat unbalanced performance package. Its strengths lie in potentially fast disk I/O (based on fio) and stable, albeit capped, network connectivity. However, these are offset by mediocre CPU performance (especially multi-core scaling), modest RAM allocation, and significant limitations stemming from its IP address reputation and network speed cap. We recommend this VPS primarily for scenarios where high computational power, large memory footprints, substantial network bandwidth, and pristine IP reputation are not critical factors. Suitable applications might include development environments, testing servers, low-traffic web hosting, or backend services tolerant of a 100 Mbps network limit. Potential customers should carefully weigh the attractive disk performance against the CPU, network, and IP quality drawbacks before committing, ensuring it aligns with their specific operational requirements and tolerance for the identified limitations.
