Disk performance
fio 3.36 · direct I/O · sequential, random and mixed jobs measured separately.
| Workload | Throughput | p95 latency |
|---|---|---|
| Sequential read | 5,240 MB/s | 12,124 µs |
| Sequential write | 2,292 MB/s | 30,540 µs |
| Random read | 84,002 IOPS | 585.7 µs |

| Random mix · read | 49,852 IOPS | 741.4 µs |
| Random mix · write | 21,384 IOPS | 782.3 µs |
Median of 3 passed runs of about 30 seconds per job. The mixed job's reads and writes are listed separately.
Network performance
Source: Bangalore, IN · two controlled London endpoints.
| Destination | Download | Upload | RTT | Jitter | Loss |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| London endpoint 1 | 99.9 Mbit/s | 97.5 Mbit/s | 136.6 ms | — | — |
| London endpoint 2 | 21.5 Mbit/s | 97.2 Mbit/s | 201.2 ms | — | — |
Results describe these measured paths at a 100 Mbit/s rate setting, not maximum link capacity. RTT is the probe mean; jitter and packet loss were not measured.
PostgreSQL performance
PostgreSQL 16.15 · pgbench · in-memory and storage-bound datasets.
| Dataset profile | Transactions / sec | Average latency | Passed runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| In memory | 2,181 | 1.83 ms | 3 of 3 passed |
| Storage-bound | 1,738 | 2.30 ms | 3 of 3 passed |
Median of 3 passed runs of about 30 seconds per dataset. Latency percentiles were not measured.
Consistency across runs
One deployment · repeated runs inside the recorded test window.
Workload skipped · No measured score. This report covers a 25 min test window, so no time series exists and none is drawn.
| Repetition | CPU 1 thread | Memory read | Random read | PostgreSQL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 376.6 events/s | 5,696 MiB/s | 81,523 IOPS | 2,181 tx/s |
| 2 | 378.7 events/s | 5,492 MiB/s | 88,729 IOPS | 2,344 tx/s |
| 3 | 385.7 events/s | 5,638 MiB/s | 84,002 IOPS | 2,040 tx/s |
Individual runs, not medians. PostgreSQL uses the in-memory dataset. Spread within one test window does not establish long-term consistency.
Inspect the evidence.
Recorded environment, reviewed measurements and the published snapshot.
Reviewed, sanitized snapshot: every run, the environment record and all limitations. Raw intake logs remain private.
One deployment describes this report, not every server a provider operates.
A 25 min test window does not establish 24-hour consistency or long-term reliability.

Review and measurement limits
- Single deployment; not an independent three-instance cohort.
- No hardware attestation.
- Pilot memory implements read/write; copy workload deferred.
- Network endpoints must be supplied by the operator; no public third-party servers are used.
- Database latency distribution is not available from this pilot parser; average latency only.
- This profile is not a full implementation of all proposed methodology tests.
- Resource-constrained environment: CPU workers and RAM reflect affinity/cgroup limits, not host capacity. Private resource-limits evidence retains both; do not merge container/VM or architecture cohorts.
- Short profile: does not establish 24-hour consistency.
- This report received AI-assisted evidence review under user-delegated authorization. This is not independent human verification or hardware attestation.
- This pilot measures its recorded test window. It does not establish 24-hour consistency, long-term reliability or provider-wide performance.
- Network tests use two controlled London endpoints, one stream, a 100 Mbit/s rate setting and a requested 64 MiB byte target per direction. Reverse-mode polling can exceed that byte target; actual sent and received bytes govern traffic accounting. These results do not measure maximum link capacity.
- SKU and region were matched to retained deployment records. A missing detected SKU uses the operator-supplied plan and remains labelled supplied. Control-plane records and checksums do not attest the physical host or establish physical-host independence.
- Package versions and available guard and journal evidence were reviewed. These records do not establish continuous absence of package activity throughout the test window.
- The pilot includes memory read/write and average PostgreSQL latency. Memory-copy tests and PostgreSQL latency percentiles are not implemented. Skipped consistency and missing measurements are not scores.
- This first-wave run began before background package controls were tightened. Mitigation and point-in-time package checks are retained, but a prelaunch idle guard and continuous package-activity coverage are unavailable. Effects from unobserved background package activity cannot be ruled out.
