QUM Performance

Comparing the performance across multiple providers

We benchmarked VMs across different providers namely aws, gcp, azure and digital ocean to compare how Qumulus VMs perform and where dose it stand! geekbench6 and sysbench was used on all VMs running Ubuntu 24.04

VMs were created on all of these platform using 2 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM with instance types and tentative monthly cost shown in the table below (UK region). These costs on other platform would vary based on the storage and network utilization.

With Qumulus, its slightly different. Qumulus does not sell a VM of 2 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM. Instead a Compute Unit of 8 vCPUs, 20 GB RAM and 200 GB Storage is sold for $ 85/month. So after creating a VM of 2 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM, there is still more than double capacity available for additional use. We may assume cost of running this VM as $ 30/month.

Results

These results will surprise you. Multicore performance of Qumulus is 2-to-4 times better than other providers. Qumulus is at least 2 times more efficient than the 2nd most efficient provider in Performance to Cost ratio.
