Benchmark of ImpossibleCloud S3 Object Storage (Prague <--> Frankfurt)

ImpossibleCloud (IC) S3 storage is pretty interesting offering of European Object Storage. Cloud4com datacenters are located in Czechia, Prague and closest IC S3 Storage is in Frankfurt. IC S3 Storage could be used for offsite backups or remote object repositories. Our primary use case is Off-Site Backup Repository.

In this blog post, I will do a benchmark of ImpossibleCloud S3 storage located in Frankfurt accessed from Prague's Cloud4com datacenter.

I have S3 client in Cloud4com vPDC in Prague and accessing ImpossibleCloud S3 Storage in Frankfurt.

Cloud4com physical datacenter is located at Prague, TTC

  • vRouter with Guaranteed bandwidth (CIR) 100 Mbps and Maximal bandwidth (Shaping) 1000 Mb/s
  • S3 Client (MinIO Warp) is running on VM (4 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 1 Gb vNIC, 10 GB vSSD @ 500 IOPS) with FreeBSD 14.3

ImpossibleCloud S3 Storage is located at the “eu-central-2” region which corresponds to data centers in Germany (Europe / Frankfurt area).

Let's do some performance tests and report achieved results.

Agile Project Management - INTRO [Czech Version]

Co je Agile Project Management a proč byste měli znát knihy The Phoenix Project a The Unicorn Project

Když se dnes řekne agilní projektové řízení, spousta lidí si představí Scrum meetingy, Kanban tabule a nekonečné množství nových buzzwordů. Jenže skutečný smysl agility je mnohem hlubší – jde o schopnost firmy rychle reagovat na změny, dodávat hodnotu zákazníkům a nebýt paralyzována vlastní byrokracií a procesy.

A právě tohle téma velmi dobře vysvětlují dvě knihy, které se staly doslova IT bestsellery:

Part #1 – The Phoenix Project
A Novel about IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win

Part #2 – The Unicorn Project
A Novel about Developers, Digital Disruption, and Thriving in the Age of Data

Nejste v tom sami

Obě knihy formou příběhu ukazují realitu, ve které se dnes nachází většina středních a velkých firem. Neustálý tlak na rychlejší dodávky, hromadící se technický dluh, přetížené IT týmy, nekonečné priority „na včera“ a pocit, že systém je tak složitý, že už ho nikdo plně nechápe.

To nejdůležitější poselství je ale uklidňující:

Nejste jediní, kdo je v takové situaci. 

V podobném chaosu funguje obrovské množství organizací po celém světě.

Právě proto se z těchto knih stal fenomén. Lidé v nich poznávají vlastní každodenní realitu – jen je podaná zábavnou a srozumitelnou formou.

U.2 vs E3.S SSD: What Is the Difference?

When choosing enterprise NVMe storage for servers and data centers, two form factors are commonly discussed today: U.2 and E3.S. Although both are designed for high-performance and high-reliability workloads, they differ significantly in physical design, scalability, cooling, and long-term viability.

This article explains the key differences in a practical and easy-to-understand way.

Do I Need EVPN L3 Routing If L2 over L3 Is Enough?

When designing a modern data center network, a very common architecture today is L3 underlay + VXLAN overlay + EVPN

Sooner or later, however, the following question comes up:

Do I really need EVPN L3 routing (L3 VNI) if I only need Layer 2 connectivity over a Layer 3 network?

The short answer is: no, you don’t.
The longer and more important answer is when it makes sense and when it doesn’t

That’s exactly what this article explains.
