Conclusion
The server demonstrated consistent I/O speeds, recording 451 MB/s, 427 MB/s, and 435 MB/s across three runs with an average of approximately 438 MB/s. These speeds are commendable, falling into the ‘good’ category, suggesting that the server can effectively handle moderate to high disk-intensive operations. In the Yabs disk speed tests, smaller (4k, 64k) and larger block sizes (512k, 1m) provided outputs that further confirmed the server’s capability to handle mixed read/write operations.
Network tests showed impressive upload and download speeds across various global locations, particularly in Paris, where upload speeds of about 7815 Mbps and downloads of nearly 7991 Mbps were found. However, performance dipped significantly in Asian regions like Guangzhou and Singapore, which might be a concern for services targeting these areas.
The Geekbench 6 results provided insights into the CPU’s capabilities, with a single-core score of 1057 and a multi-core score of 1935. The single-core score falls into the ‘good’ range and is suitable for most applications, although a higher score would be preferable for extremely demanding tasks. While not reaching the ‘excellent’ category, the multi-core score still indicates robust processing power for concurrent operations.
In conclusion, the 99Stack Germany Frankfurt VPS server performs well across most testing parameters. Its disk I/O and CPU benchmark scores make it a reliable choice for developers and businesses focusing on web applications. However, regional network limitations may influence deployment strategies for a broader Asian market. This balanced performance makes the server a solid contender in its category, suitable for various development and deployment scenarios.
