Compute

Bare Metal

Single-tenant dedicated servers built to specification, with out-of-band management, configurable RAID, and DDoS mitigation included.

Platform

Full control of the hardware

Out-of-band management

IPMI console, power control, and BIOS access independent of the host OS.

Configurable RAID

RAID 0, 1, and 10, or individual devices for software RAID and ZFS.

Private networking

Isolated private networking between servers in the same location.

DDoS mitigation

Always-on Layer 3/4 scrubbing on every dedicated server.

Included

Standard on every server

Single-tenant hardware

No hypervisor layer and no contention for compute or memory bandwidth.

Root and BIOS access

Full control of the operating system, boot order, and firmware settings.

Unmetered inbound

Inbound traffic is never metered or billed.

On-site technicians

Remote hands for drive replacement, reseats, cabling, and escalations.

Hardware replacement

Failed drives, memory, and power supplies replaced as part of the service.

Hypervisor support

Proxmox, VMware ESXi, and XCP-ng installed directly on the hardware.

Add-ons

Extend the configuration

Higher-speed uplinks

Increased port speed for bandwidth-bound workloads.

Additional IPv4 space

Extra addresses or a routed subnet, with IPv6 alongside.

Extra drives and capacity

Additional drives, larger capacities, and RAID reconfiguration.

Private VLAN

Isolated Layer 2 segments for replication and clustering traffic.

Block storage

Network block storage for data exceeding the local drives.

Managed backups

Scheduled file- and image-level backup with defined retention.

Use cases

Typical workloads

Latency-sensitive services

Workloads dependent on per-core performance rather than parallelism.

Game server hosting

Consistent tick rates with no competition for the processor.

CI/CD runners

Dedicated build agents with fast local storage.

Virtualisation hosts

Private cloud and hypervisor platforms on dedicated hardware.

Licensed software

Per-socket and per-core licensing on a fixed, known core count.

Production-like environments

Staging that matches production with no shared resources.
