Hello guys. Wanted to post a positive review of armorshark openstack for you. The KVM SSD Cloud Servers are hosted on their own custom Openstack cloud platform. OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, all managed through a dashboard that gives administrators control while empowering their users to provision resources through a web interface.
2 plans that are available now are Shark 512 and Shark 1024
Shark 512KVM
2 CPU Cores 512MB RAM 20GB Disk space RAID10 SSD Disk 1TB Bandwidth 1Gbps uplink 1x IPv4 address KVM/Custom
$3/month or $24/year
Shark 1024KVM
4 CPU Cores 1GB RAM 30GB Disk space RAID10 SSD Disk 2TB Bandwidth 1Gbps uplink 1x IPv4 address KVM/Custom
$6/month or $48/year
They are located in the PhoenixNAP datacenter in Phoenix, Arizona. Full root access is available. KVM is the hypervisor and the overall website has a very slick design.
@RichardLeik offered a free 30 day trial and the service has been fast and reliable. Not seen any downtime ( 12:27:57 up 28 days, 10:40 ) in my free trial period.
