Cloud Spectator Benchmark Results
Cloud Storage Performance Analysis 2020
IONOS Cloud SSD Storage compared to AWS, Google and Azure
Cloud Spectator, a US company who specialises in consulting and benchmarking cloud computing, has put cloud providers to the test. The goal: to help customers find transparency in the IaaS cloud market. In August 2020, the Cloud Spectator testers compared solutions from IONOS Cloud, AWS, Google Compute Engine and Microsoft Azure.
The random read and random write performance of the two cloud storage categories Standard SSD and Premium SSD were measured. Premium SSD products are those with dedicated Provisioned IOPS.
Key results:
- IONOS Cloud Compute Engine offers the best price-performance ratio for SSD-based block storage.
- IONOS Cloud SSD performance classes offer the best overall random read and write performance.
- Cloud Spectator reveals particularly high hidden IOPS costs for some cloud providers.
All benchmark results and details of the large cloud flash storage comparison test can be found in the 15-page Cloud Spectator report.
