VPS Description:
Overview: This VPS from Layer7 in Frankfurt operates on KVM virtualization. It supports Linux preconfigured templates and offers a Windows evaluation build (unlicensed) along with custom ISO installations. The system has 4 shared Intel Xeon SP Gold cores, 8 GB RAM, and 2 TB HDD storage, with 50 TB of bandwidth per month.
Deployment Scenarios: The 2 TB hard disk is applicable to applications that require high storage but do not demand high disk I/O. It can be used as a backup or file server, and for hosting static content or modest CMS platforms requiring low I/O. It is also suitable for hosting a Git repository or an archival database where read performance is not the priority.
Operational Constraints: The shared CPU cores under fair usage policy may not sustain prolonged high-loads. The 8 GB RAM permits moderate workloads, but resource-intensive, multi-threaded processes could encounter limitations. The HDD, while offering high capacity, has slower I/O performance than SSDs, which may impact applications that require fast data access.
