Subject: Re: Performance of 5 days demo of the cloud which was
mentioned in the message with subject John in the cloud
Hello, Those details are important for me:-)
You mentione the speed s in c/s . C/s means password/sec?
What do you think could be speed of one p3.2xlarge instance? (wpa
password /sec) What would be a price of one such instance for example
for one day?
Thanx for info
Johny Krekan
