nyc2 vs nyc1 hardware

Posted on October 1, 2013

I have a vm currently at nyc1 (data seems faster to my location). I originally tried nyc2. It appears from looking at /proc/cpuinfo that nyc2 has a 2.3 gHz clock and nyc1 has 2gHz clock speed. From this I would assume this means nyc2 has newer hardware.

nyc1 seems to handle my needs fine. If I have any issues I will go back to nyc2. Are there any plans to upgrade the older servers ?

This is not an issue. I can see no real difference in performance between the two. Please disregard.

Unless you need Private Networking, you can get the same performance from both.

I normally see that NY 1 is a bit crowded (bandwidth wise) than NY 2
