Why we use the AMD Ryzen in a server?

Why we use the AMD Ryzen in a server?

Some people have questioned WebPlots choice of processors we use for our SSD VPS Hosting nodes and wonder why we use AMD Ryzen processors as well as AMD Eypcs and Intel Xeons. WebPlot believes that the AMD Ryzen provides the best solution for our customers wants and needs, such as high frequency processing power, high level of cache, ECC memory support and the number of cores users can spend time on, which the AMD Ryzen ZEN2 series has many.  Plus, we find that AMD Ryzen temperatures stay very stable in a datacentre environment, with the average running around 65c under a full load.



We are not the only people who has concluded we love the mighty power of AMD Ryzen as you can see for yourself on the benchmarks below supplied by ServerTheHome.

FREE Microsoft Windows Server 2019 with all VPS at WebPlot.

FREE Microsoft Windows Server 2019 with all VPS at WebPlot.

WebPlot has decided to include Microsoft Windows Server 2019 licenses with all SSD VPS hosting services, this use to be an additional £5 a month which has now been abolished for all Web Plot VPS customers. WebPlot are proud to be put in a position where unlike the majority of our competitors we can now allow our clients to enjoy the following features of Microsoft Windows Server for free.



Here are some of the new features in Windows Server 2019:



Improvements to containers: You may be aware that containers were added in Windows Server 2016. The underlying technology used on Windows Server for containers is Docker. New container capabilities have been added in Windows Server 2019:



You can use group managed service accounts (gMSA) to access network resources. The container’s host name doesn’t need to be the same as the gMSA. You can use the gMSA on both Windows and Hyper-V isolated containers.



Applications that have specific communications needs such as support for Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C), general-purpose input/output (GPIO), and universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter/communication (UART/COM) port can now be containerized. Host Device Access allows you to assign a simple bus to Windows Server containers. This is especially useful for Internet of Things (IoT) devices like sensors and other peripheral devices.



A third container image has been created that resolves application programming interface (API) dependencies that were not available in Server Core.



You can now deploy Kubernetes on Windows Server 2019. The master node still needs to be on Linux, but you can configure worker nodes to run on Windows Server. If you’re in a Windows-centric shop and you’re trying to automate processes, or you’re just looking for a container orchestration solution, Kubernetes is a great one to go with. You can find lots of great resources on Kubernetes if it’s something you’re interested in.



Congestion control: Windows Server 2019 includes Low Extra Delay Background Transport (LEDBAT), a network congestion control provider. As the name suggests, LEDBAT can find available network bandwidth for running updates and other network-intensive jobs. When the network is not in use, it can consume all the bandwidth. When the network is in use, it gives up bandwidth for your users and applications so that they don’t experience network delays.



Security enhancements: There are three enhancements made to security in Windows Server 2019, expanding on work done in Windows Server 2016 when Windows Defender was officially introduced to the server operating system. These enhancements are as follows:



Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP): Provides visibility to attack activities that target memory and kernel-level areas, as well as the ability to respond to compromised systems. It also aids in forensics investigations and can be used to collect data about the system remotely.



Windows Defender ATP Exploit Guard: ATP Exploit Guard has similar capabilities to Host Intrusion Prevention Systems (HIPS). It’s designed to protect systems from multiple methods of attack, as well as block suspicious behavior that is often seen in compromises involving malware. The exploit protection capability replaces the older Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) that was previously offered by Microsoft.

Debian 10 Buster | Now available at Powerful Box

Debian 10 Buster




New Debian 10 (Buster) Features.

Debian 10 comes with several desktop applications and environments. The following are some of the desktop environments GNOME 3.22, KDE Plasma 5.8, LXDE, LXQt 0.11, MATE 1.16, and Xfce 4.12. Buster is the first Debian release to ship with Rust based programs such as Firefox, ripgrep, fd, exa, etc. and a significant number of Rust based libraries (more than 450). Buster ships with Rustc 1.32.

What is more, Wayland is the default session type for GNOME 3.





  1. UEFI Secure Boot

    With buster, Debian can now be installed and run on most PCs with Secure Boot enabled. Secure Boot is a security feature enabled on most PCs that prevents loading unsigned code, protecting against some kinds of bootkit and rootkits during OS installations.
  2. AppArmor enabled per default

    Debian Buster for the first time brings a mandatory access control framework enabled per default. New installations of Debian buster will have AppArmor installed and enabled per default. Owing to the large number of security issues being currently experienced around the globe, this is a wonderful move made by Buster. AppArmor is a mandatory access control framework for restricting programs’ capabilities (such as mount, ptrace, and signal permissions, or file read, write, and execute access) by defining per-program profiles.
  3. Network filtering based on nftables framework by default

    nftables is the new packet classification framework that intends to replaces the existing ip,ip6,arp,eb_tables infrastructure. nftables provides a full replacement for iptables, with much better performance, a refreshed syntax, better support for IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack firewalls, full atomic operations for dynamic ruleset updates, a Netlink API for third party applications, faster packet classification through enhanced generic set and map infrastructures, and many other improvements.
  4. Cryptsetup defaults to on-disk LUKS2 format

    The cryptsetup version shipped with Debian buster uses the new on-disk LUKS2 format. New LUKS volumes will use this format by default.
  5. Driverless printing with CUPS 2.2.10

    Driverless printing is targeted at the client side of printing and refers to the ability of the client device (computer, smartphone, tablet, laptop etc) to print without having to install any static capability files or drivers (manufacturer-specific or otherwise) on the client. Debian 10 provides CUPS 2.2.10 and cups-filters 1.21.6. Together these give a user everything that is needed to take advantage of driverless printing. The principal requirement is that a network print queue or printer offers an AirPrint service. A modern IPP printer is highly likely to be AirPrint-capable; a Debian CUPS print queue is always AirPrint-enabled.
  6. Basic support for Allwinner A64 based devices

    Debian buster will have basic suport for many devices based on the Allwinner A64 SoC. THis includes FriendlyARM NanoPi A64; Olimex A64-OLinuXino and TERES-A64; PINE64 PINE A64/A64/A64-LTS, SOPINE, and Pinebook; SINOVOIP Banana Pi BPI-M64; and Xunlong Orange Pi Win(Plus).
  7. Linux Kernel 4.19.0-4

    Debian Buster will jump from kernel 4.9.0.3 to 4.19.0-4

Conclusion
There are some of the top new features that Buster will come into the field with. There is much more in store as this new release of Debian again comes with a lot more software than its predecessor stretch. This includes over 15346 new packages, for a total of over 51687 packages.





Debian 10 Buster is now available on our SSD VPS Hosting and Dedicated Servers.
