Kamatera Netherlands Amsterdam Type A Intel Xeon Platinum 8358P Cloud Server Test and Review
We’ve tested the Kamatera Netherlands Amsterdam Type A High-Performance Cloud Server. It’s a powerhouse with an Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8358P CPU at 2.60GHz. It has 2 CPU cores, 4 GB of RAM, 50 GB of SSD storage, and a super-fast 1 Gbps internet connection.
We’ll be running a bunch of tests to see how it performs. To gauge its performance, we’ll start with basic benchmarks, including Basic Benchmark, Yabs, and Unix Benchmark. We’re also testing how fast it connects to networks worldwide with the Global Node Test and how quickly it responds with the Global Ping Test.
To check media access, we’ll use The Media Unlock Test. For connection quality, we’re looking at the CloudFlare Internet Test. To round it all off, we’ll evaluate web performance using tools like PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix.
