I have officially joined the dark side ?

I bought this dedicated server at September 17, 2016. It is located in Buffalo, NY. It will be used for various development tasks. You will find the customary benchmarks below and I will re-visit this server in about 3-4 months with an update.

Specifications

CPU: Intel E3 1240 V3
HDD: 2 x Western Digital WD2000FYYS- 2TB
RAM: 2 x Super Talent 8GB DDR3 1333 ECC

Location: Buffalo, New York

Test #1

This is what I would call the “baseline test” which was conducted immediately after installing the hypervisor.

Test #3

This test was conducted after I had migrated 1 VM to it and added two others — all VMs were under quite heavy load.
