WeLoveServers Benchmark Test for 8 Cores OpenVZ VPS

04/01/2014 112hotness 0likes 1comments

This is the Benchmark Test for the new offer from WeLoveServers 8 Cores OpenVZ. I've been with WeLoveServers for 4 months. Their nodes are using "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1240 v3 @ 3.40GHz" and Raid 10 for storage. The benchmark shows the overall performance of their 8 cores OpenVZ VPS is good. However, I/O dropped to half of what it was when I bought them 4 months ago. It could be better if they could improve the I/O a bit.
