HP Cloud Services
One could notice that HP announced their cloud services going to public beta.
I started to use those. So far, VPS (cloud servers) and storage services are of most interest - API-supported, with easy interface. Very good for a start.
I will post longer description to my blog, but there's only one thing that makes me surprised: the IOPS ratings of their cloud servers.
Short stats:
xsmall (1 GB RAM, 1 CPU core): UnixBench 1199.3, IOPS random read: 23739, IOPS random write: 1487.
small (2 GB RAM, 2 CPU cores): UnixBench 1977.0, IOPS random read: 38267, IOPS random write: 225.
large (4 GB RAM, 4 CPU cores): UnixBench 3097.4, IOPS random read: 40840, IOPS random write: 182.
Random write results are very strange, but tests were ran in several batches, with significant random delays between subsequent read/write runs.
However, the servers are very robust, cost/performance is quite good. I will continue testing the servers for real, first results are interesting.
Perhaps someone else here has already tried these services?███ IT blog is under reconstruction, please standby

Update: when I asked the tech.person in a chat window, I was told the low write IOPS are known problem, it's being solved.

IF you count in their 50% discount during beta period then it is very good value. Otherwise their Bandwidth pricing sucks.

That's weird too but it's still in Beta and based on Open-Stack but it's a smart move by HP only confirming what they see coming in the next 5 years if you read the press release carefully you'll get an idea of their market research CDN Storage PaaS will be big... but they are not cheap when you look deeper into their extensive long never ending pricing list on their website maybe a little too late to market by HP to be doing this now...
