Cloud server performance tests

We used an independent tester. They leased a single virtual machine from AWS, Azure and Rackspace, each specced with the minimum resources available for a single virtual server. They then installed a third-party benchmarking tool (PassMark) and ran three resource tests on each VM: disk I/O, CPU and memory.

Each test was repeated three times and the best result was recorded. Here is how Hyve cloud servers compared.

Disk

  • HyveFastest
  • Azure11% slower
  • Rackspace267% slower
  • AWS681% slower*

CPU

  • HyveFastest
  • Azure8% slower
  • AWS64% slower
  • Rackspace78% slower†

Memory

  • HyveFastest
  • Azure11% slower
  • AWS59% slower
  • Rackspace86% slower

*AWS disk test ran with SSD disks. †Rackspace CPU test ran with 2x CPU, the lowest CPU spec available. Tests carried out in 2019. These results are intended as a guide only. This is a base test, and a number of variables and factors could influence results.

the conclusion

Hyve is faster than the competition

Couple that performance with our Extra-Mile support and transparent, fixed monthly billing, and you can see why leading brands choose Hyve to manage their hosting.
