Re: Hosted servers with good DB disk performance?

Hi,

Quoting "Greg Smith" :

I'm just stumbling over newservers.com, they provide sort of a "cloud"  
with an API but that manages real servers (well, blade ones, but not  
virtualized). Their "fast" variant comes with up to two SAS drives,  
however, I don't think there's a BBC. Hardware seems to come from  
Dell, charging by hourly usage... but go read their website yourself.

If anybody has ever tried their systems, I'd like to hear back. I wish  
such an offering would exist for Europe (guess that's just a matter of  
time).
