Filter:


Spec score is value calculated from the hardware specifications. Before evaluating performance from supposed similar products, the spec score helps to evaluate the amount of CPU, RAM and storage given by the vendors. You can decompose this score in several:

  • CPU: 1pts per vCPU
  • RAM: 1pts per GB
  • Storage: 1pts per 100GB

Cloud Mercato's assertions

The OVH instance are not comparable with the m6i.metal and this is true for the entire AWS Metal catalog. It would take 3.6 BM-L1 to match the m6i but nowaydays, the Cloud ecosystem with its deployment and orchestration tools erases the pain of the reduced machines. Moreover the OVHcloud machines are not as bare as the competitor as they all 2x 960GB of Samsung NVMe-SSD.
