We recently benchmarked our Cloud servers against the Atom D525 1.8GHz and the results may suprise most customers but not us. We have always been confident in the performance of our Cloud servers. We used the popular benchmarking tool Passmark to perform the tests. Note that the servers were ran for Graphics with stock onboard graphics cards and VMware tools enabled.
Test group involved the following servers:
Server 1:
Atom D525 1.8GHz
2GB RAM DDR3
80GB HDD SATA 7200RPM
Results:
Server 2:
Cloud Server
1GHz Dedicated
1GB RAM Dedicated
RAID10 SAN backed storage

Server 3:
Cloud Server
2GHz Dedicated
2GB RAM Dedicated
RAID10 SAN backed storage

Server 4:
Cloud Server
4GHz Burst Only
4GB RAM Burst Only
RAID10 SAN backed storage

Overall Results:
| Atom D525 | 1/1 Cloud | 2/2 Cloud | 4/4 Burst Cloud | |
| CPU Mark | 859.7 | 674 | 1010.6 | 1123.8 |
| Memory Mark | 328.7 | 335.1 | 684.4 | 692.9 |
| Disk Mark | 910.7 | 682.1 | 786.9 | 989.1 |
| PassMark Rating | 510.9 | 431.2 | 673.6 | 780.4 |
As a cost effective alternative to our Atom D525 plan we recommend going with our Cloud Servers with either full dedicated resources or hybrid burst options that best suite your requirements. Our cloud servers can be configured for 100% dedicated resources, 100% burst resources or a mixture of both called Hybrid Cloud Servers.
