The company aims the site at businesses, developers and individuals who want servers nearer their Asian audiences, need a place to test region specific services or hope to extend their infrastructure across the region.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The hardware takes up most of the announcement. Servers in Japan run on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intel.com\/content\/www\/us\/en\/products\/sku\/91768\/intel-xeon-processor-e52697a-v4-40m-cache-2-60-ghz\/specifications.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Intel Xeon E5-2697A v4 processors<\/a>, which offer 16 cores, 32 threads, 40 MB of cache and Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.6 GHz. WeaselCloud says the chip suits multithreaded applications, databases, heavy computing and development environments. The processor comes from an older Xeon generation, so speed focused buyers may want to run their own benchmarks.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Each VPS also uses KVM virtualization, SSD storage and full root access. KVM gives every customer an isolated virtual server, and root access lets people install their own software and shape the configuration. To order, customers pick Japan, choose a configuration and an operating system, and deploy through the online ordering system.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Several details are missing, though. The release lists 16 cores and 32 threads under each VPS, yet it also quotes a $3 starting price and gives no figures for memory, storage or bandwidth. As a result, a reader cannot tell what the cheapest plan includes. The 16 core figure may describe the processor model and not the share a customer gets, so buyers should confirm the allocation before they order. The announcement also names no data center or network provider and offers no latency numbers, which matter most for anyone choosing Japan for proximity.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Price needs the same care. The release gives no commitment length and does not say whether the $3 rate carries over at renewal.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Even so, the launch adds a regional option. A developer who wants to see how a service behaves for users in <a href=\"https:\/\/hostingdiscussion.com\/news\/regional-hosting-demand-rises-as-southeast-asias-digital-economy-expands\/\">Asia<\/a>, or a business that wants a server nearer its customers there, now has another location to consider in WeaselCloud\u2019s network. Anyone planning to order will want the complete plan details and a real latency test first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WeaselCloud has opened a VPS location in Japan, with plans starting at $3 a month.
