Resource Pool

The resource pool reflects the distribution of resources allocated to all your accounts:

• CPU is the ratio between the number of microprocessor cores requested at a given time by all accounts and the maximum number of cores of the hosting.
• Memory is the ratio of RAM memory in GB currently used by accounts to the maximum amount of memory in The World .
• Disk I/O is the ratio of the number of I/O operations in MB/s (when running a combination of read and write tests at a given time) for all accounts to the maximum number of I/O operations.

Note : Account creation requires a minimum of 1 CPU / 1GB RAM / 1 MB IO/s.

Please read the article Performance Statistics in N0C for additional details about resources pool.
