Kamatera United States Texas Type A Intel Xeon Platinum 8358P Cloud Server Test and Review
This time, let’s check out the Kamatera United States Texas Type A High-Performance Cloud Server. It runs on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8358P CPU at 2.60GHz, and its setup includes a 2-core CPU, 4 GB of RAM, 50 GB of SSD storage, a 1 Gbps internet connection, and one IPv4 address.
We’ll cover several tests in our review. First are the Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark are used to see how well the server performs on key metrics. Next, we’ll use the Global Node Test to examine the network thoroughly and the Global Ping Test to measure how quickly the server responds.
We’ve got the Media Unlock Test to check if you can access media content easily. To evaluate the quality of the connection, we’ll look into the CloudFlare Internet Test. Lastly, we’ll use PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix Performance to assess websites’ performance with this server.

Admin Control Panel
To begin with, Kamatera’s cloud console is accessible through a simple login process. You enter your email and password, and you’re in. This ease of access ensures you can manage your servers whenever and wherever necessary.
Once you’re in the console, you’ll find a user-friendly administrative panel on the left. You can navigate to “My Cloud” and then to “Servers”. This is where you can manage all your servers.
You’ll see an “Action” button when you select a server. Clicking this button opens a drop-down menu, which includes the “Console” option. Selecting “Console” opens a new tab to view your server’s specifications.
The console window also includes two buttons in the top right corner. One button sends a ctrl+alt+del command, which helps initiate the login screen on Windows operating systems. The other button allows you to end the open session manually. Using this button when you finish working in the console window is recommended.
One thing to note is that the console window does not support the copy & paste function. Also, if you don’t perform any actions in the console window for 30 minutes, it will automatically terminate the connection.
In addition to server management, the cloud admin console allows you to add or remove hardware components such as CPU, RAM, disk storage, load balancers, and firewalls. You can do this instantly by simply clicking on the desired option.
