ServaRica ❯ UniFied Slim
ServaRica is an IAAS provider run by a small team of engineers from Montreal, Canada. While relatively unknown to the broader market, they have been in business since 2010 and are among the most affordable providers of cheap storage servers and high bandwidth in North America with an overall good track record. They currently use a strong anti-fraud protection mechanism that is known to trigger if you register your account behind a VPN connection or use a foreign prepaid payment card.
VPS Description:
Overview: This ServaRica VPS in Canada runs on KVM virtualization and provides preconfigured Linux and Windows templates, with no support for custom ISO installations. The VPS has 6 dedicated Epyc cores, 24 GB RAM, and 750 GB NVMe storage, with a monthly bandwidth cap of 24 TB on a 10 Gbps port. Connectivity is provided via both IPv4 and IPv6.
The Slice System: This configuration is built using a modular slice system. Each slice comprises 1 dedicated CPU core, 4 GB RAM, 125 GB NVMe storage, and 4 TB of data (with limited upload and unmetered download), and the amount of slices can be customized before ordering. Storage and bandwidth addons are also available, such as extra SAN storage at 500 GB for an additional $1.50 per month.
Viable Use Cases: The system is suited for high-performance applications that benefit from substantial compute power and fast storage. It can host containerized services orchestrated by Docker or Kubernetes, support production-level databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, and run in-memory caching solutions like Redis. The VPS is also applicable for real-time data processing tasks, extensive logging and monitoring infrastructures, and as a backend for content delivery applications requiring rapid data access.
Critical Considerations: The 750 GB NVMe storage support moderate to high I/O, yet data-intensive applications may necessitate external storage. The closed port 25 prevents email delivery services.
