I, as a resident of this glorious city, have heard about the Megafon data center in Samara for more than a year. Of course, I was always interested in what would be there and at what prices. A year and a half ago, I even tried to find out through the feedback form, but, as we often have, we just put the application. Apparently the bar of RAM ...
Meanwhile, the data center is open and even provides some services. Let us try to compare with what is already on the market.
Information about the services is presented in the best traditions. There are Kolo, there are Dedik, Virtualka and even Sasy with clouds, except that the price tags for this, excluding Virtualka, did not mean shame. Or maybe they are not used to looking at prices and do not even know about the existence of this attribute in the product? Who knows ... just remember the common gas and "dreams that come true", but obviously not here.
But I digress. On the virtual servers there is a sign from which it is clear that Windows is used as the OS. Is it possible to deploy a normal Internet site on this? I doubt it, but let's compare at least the price level. I will compare with OVZ-6 from
fastvps.ru where I have been sitting for the second year already. And so the OVZ-6 config: 1700 Mhz, 16 GB hard, 600 MB of RAM under OpenVZ for 824 rubles, we get a perfectly working server with root access. What comes out at
Megaphone ?
')
CPU (processor): for every 100 MHz., Per hour 15 kopecks
HDD (hard disk): for 1 GB, 3 kopecks per hour
RAMM (RAM): for 32 MB, per hour 1 kopeck
White IP-address for one selected ip-address: 12 rubles per day
Let's collect from this a close config for April (30 * 24 = 720 hours):
CPU: 100 MHz * 17 = 1700 MHz, 17 * 0.15 rubles * 720 hours = 1836 rubles / month
HDD: 1 GB * 16 = 16 GB, 16 * 0.03 rubles * 720 hours = 345.6 rubles / month
RAMM: 32 MB * 19 = 608 MB, 19 * 0.01 rubles * 720 hours = 136.8 rubles / month
IP: 12 rubles * 30 = 360 rubles / month
TOTAL: 2678.4 rubles / month.
2678 rubles for another unknown as a working server, with some unknown technical support (and we remember about the RAM bar, right?). For this money in fastvps.ru you can take not a virtual machine, a whole Dedik. On OVZ-6, I have seven sites on nginx + php-fpm + mysql + memcached, postfix + dovecot in total, consuming 230-300 MB without any problems or failures. And what would happen on the virtual machine from Megaphone is still a big question.
With what conditions is no adequate person, evaluating their investments, or when there will not appear. I would like to ask what is this pricing policy at all? It seems that this is "flexible solutions for your business."
