Conclusion
Several speed tests were conducted to gauge the system’s performance. The I/O Speed results from three separate runs consolidate into an average speed of 893.9 MB/s. The server’s upload and download speeds were tested worldwide, including in the US, Europe, and Asia. The fastest speeds were recorded in Dallas, US, with upload and download speeds of 592.88 Mbps and 590.55 Mbps, respectively.
The fio Disk Speed Tests consisted of mixed read/write tests in various block sizes and provided valuable insight into each level’s Read, Write, and Total I/O performance. The results for 512k and 1m block sizes were awe-inspiring, which exhibited Read, Write, and Total speeds in the multi-GB/s range.
The Media Unlock Test was used to determine accessibility to various media platforms from the given server. Results indicate that the server can access YouTube Premium, Amazon Prime Video (DE region), and TVBAnywhere+. Netflix was accessible with limitations (originals only), and services like Dazn, HotStar, Disney+, Viu.com, and Spotify registration were unavailable. Additionally, the test identified the preferred YouTube and Netflix CDNs as Washington, DC, and Newark, NJ, respectively.
In conclusion, the Contabo United States New Jersey Shared vCPU VPS Server exhibits robust performance characteristics, high I/O, network speed, and mixed results in media access. It would be most beneficial for applications/projects needing relentless processing power and high-speed data handling. However, its media access limitations may pose challenges for operations requiring a broader range of media platform support.
