Kimsufi is not a separate brand any more: kimsufi.com now redirects to eco.ovhcloud.com, and the KS SKUs sit inside the OVH eco catalogue beside the Advance and Rise ranges. The first reading of this record was wrong and the correction is the finding: querying fourteen base plan codes showed two machines with stock and I concluded the range was sold out. Querying the regional variants as well showed seven orderable codes, and the pattern is that the surviving stock is Asia-Pacific and North American while Europe is empty. So the cheapest orderable Kimsufi is EUR 16.99 in Singapore, not EUR 9.99 anywhere, and the Singapore machine is metered at 25 TB a month. A reader who wants the unlimited European term cannot buy it on this date. The catalogue returns setup fees of 0 for these SKUs while the website prints a one-month installation fee, so the setup figure here comes from the website and the disagreement is recorded rather than resolved.","extras":{"wave2":{"class":"floor-price","free_tier_kind":null,"shape":{"cpu":"Intel Xeon E5-1620v2","vcpu":4,"threads":8,"ram_gib":32,"disk":"1 x 120 GB SATA SSD","bandwidth_mbit":500,"traffic":"unlimited and unmetered in EU, US and CA","price_eur_month":9.99,"setup_fee_eur":9.99,"price_eur_month_incl_vat_ie":12.29,"gpu_class":null,"gpu_count":0,"price_eur_month_orderable":16.99,"orderable_where":"Singapore (KS-4)"},"merged_agents":["storage-us-eu"],"merged_evidence_rows":3,"merged_note":"KS-5 at USD 19.90/month excl.
