MiroVPS Semi-Dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated VPS plans run on the same hardware as our Xeon dedicated servers (two quad core Harpertown Xeon processors, 8 cores total).

Your VPS will be setup on a machine with up to 7 other users.  Those VPSs will each get a share of the host server resources (CPU, memory, disk IO, bandwidth, etc).

These plans are ideal when you need to have lots of memory, low CPU and disk IO contention and the safety of regular, automated full filesystem backups.

Be green. Most people do not need the all the resources of a dedicated server. By sharing a server with other users you reduce the overall power usage. Over a year, compared to a dedicated server, a semi-Dedicated servers will save a metric tonne of CO2 emissions or the equivalent of 24 trees.

Internet: Meet Your New Processor. RimuHosting's Gainestown/Nehalem Servers

Looking for the fastest CPU possible?  Intel's released the Nehalem CPUs in March 2009. These CPUs have been setting new performance benchmarks and getting rave reviews.

Guru tech site Anandtech says:

[Nehalem CPUs have] created a giant tsunami in the server world. The Xeon 5570 doubles the performance of its predecessor in applications that matter to more than 80% of the server market. With native quad-core, fast interconnects between the CPUs, a shared L3 cache that allows faster cache coherency synchronization, and an integrated memory controller. For the IT professional in these difficult economic times, the new generation of server CPUs are an excellent investment.

The Nehalem servers come with:

• Fast DDR3 memory.
• Supermicro single CPU X8DTI and dual CPU X8STI mainboards.
• 1U CSE-815TQ chassis with an efficient 560W powersupply and 4 hot swap drive bays.

Core 2 Duo/Quad Servers

Looking for a powerful workhorse? It is hard to go past a Core 2 Duo/Quad server.  They consume very little power, so they run cool and reliable.  And benchmarks on sites like Anandtech and TomsHardware put their performance ahead of any of the previous Pentium 'D' servers, as well as almost all AMD CPUs.

The servers are custom built for us by the great guys over at rackmountsetc and have the following spec:

• Choice of two server pricing plans (Model A and Model B). Model A supports up to 4GB of memory, 2 disks, Model B is a bit more flexible and supports up to 8GB of memory, up to 4 disks, a quad core CPU.
• Choice of Intel Core 2 CPUs including the dual core E4400, E4500, E4600 and E6420 CPUs and (on the Model B plan) the high end, quad core Q6600
• Supermicro PDSMI+ Mainboard (DDR-2, SATAII, max 8GB of mem) or PDSBM-LN2 Mainboard (DDR-2, SATAII, max 2GB of mem)
• Seagate or Western Digital SATA drives. The latest drives have huge 32MB caches for best performance.
• Options to use the screamingly fast Intel X25-M SSD or 10K RPM VelociRaptor disk drives.
• 1U Supermicro case (either SC813MT-300C 300W, 4xSATA Hotswap or SC512L-260, 260W, Fixed 2 HDD Bays)

Harpertown Xeon Dedicated Servers

For the ultimate in performance, try one of our Xeon servers.  They have:

• 2 x quad core Intel Harpertown Xeon 5410 2.33GHZ 1066MHZ FSB 12MB Cache CPUs (8 cores total)
• DDR-2 667MHZ ECC FBDIMM Memory
• Seagate SATAII Hard Drives

We have two Xeon CPU server models.  One is:

• Server-grade Supermicro X7DVL-I mainboard (onboard video, 2 X gigabit ethernet, DDR-2 memory, SATA-II)
• 1U Supermicro SC813MTQ-520C(B) case (520W, 4xSATA Hotswap)

The behemoth 72GB server is:

• Server-grade Supermicro X8DTN+ mainboard (2 X gigabit ethernet, DDR-3 ECC registered memory, QPI up to 6.4GT/s)
• 2U Supermicro CSE‐825TQ‐R700LP case (700W, 8 SATA Hotswap, redundant power supply)

We happen to use this same quad core Xeon server type for hosting our VPS offerings.

Note: exact hardware specs are correct at time of writing, but may vary slightly over time.

Intel Solid State Disks or 10K RPM Velociraptor

Got a disk IO intensive application? e.g. a busy database? Each of our Dallas-based dedicated servers comes with Intel SSD and Velociraptor 10K RPM disks. The Intel SSDs are one of the mostly highly regarded SSD's on the market. And are perfect for lowering disk response times and maxing out your read/write rates.
