With OVHcloud, you can rely on our expertise in bare-metal technology. Host your website, deploy your high-resilience infrastructure, or customise your machine to suit your projects in just a few clicks.
If you run an online business, such as an ecommerce website, your website will need to be highly dependable and capable of handling multiple, concurrent visits and transactions from across the globe. In order to provide your customers with this level of performance and security and to develop a strong online presence, you need to carefully select a reliable hosting service, as this is what gets your site online, so others can access it.
By creating an infrastructure with OVHcloud dedicated servers, you are building a reliable technical platform for your business applications. The scalability of your infrastructure is further enhanced by the ability to connect your servers with other OVHcloud solutions, such as Hosted Private Cloud and Public Cloud.
Each dedicated server has a minimum public bandwidth capacity of 500 Mbps, with a burst option to absorb occasional traffic spikes. Incoming and outgoing traffic is unlimited and free of charge (excluding Asia-Pacific region). You can also increase your bandwidth capacity, if required.
Create a dedicated server cluster or hybrid infrastructure, via a high-bandwidth private network with a multi-region scope. The vRack private network is included with all of our dedicated servers, except for those from the Rise and Game ranges.
The delivery time is the time it takes for your server to be provided to you. This time period starts once you have paid for your order. It is given as an estimate, and is not a contractual guarantee.
Optimised versions of these distributions and operating systems have been specifically created to get the very most out of your server and the OVHcloud infrastructure. You can pre-install them via the OVHcloud Control Panel.
OVHcloud dedicated servers come with two physical network cards*. One is dedicated to the public network (internet). The other is reserved for the private network. The private network enables your different services to communicate with one another via a dedicated channel, regardless of their location. You get increased flexibility in managing your network, without compromising the availability of your services.
There are two main factors that make a dedicated server different from a cloud instance. Firstly, the machine's raw performance is different: there is no virtualisation layer consuming resources on a dedicated server, so you are guaranteed full use of the physical resources. The second difference concerns the level of server administration. With a dedicated server, you manage everything from its configuration to the data hosted on it, and you are also responsible for ensuring that it is secure. This means you can opt for a more advanced installation, which is essential for the use of certain business applications (for example). The main benefit of a dedicated solution is the total freedom you get as an administrator. However, if you would like to avoid technical management and concentrate solely on your web project, then OVHcloud Public Cloud instances are the best solution for you. Just need to build a simple website? Take a look at our shared hosting solutions, which offer you a hosting platform at an unbeatable cost, with the configuration fully managed by OVHcloud.
There are many uses for a dedicated server, including big data, machine learning, website and web application hosting, storage and backup, infrastructure virtualisation, server clusters, business applications (CRM, ERP), and online game hosting. This is why we offer several different dedicated server ranges, each of which are designed for a specific set of needs. Our sales and support teams will help you with your project, and can offer expert advice on which server to choose.
A dedicated server is a physical server that's assigned to a single organization. You need a server to host or run your applications and websites so that your users can access your services. The hosting provider manages and maintains the physical server resources and allocates them to different customers. Depending on the type of hosting solution you choose, you may have to share the underlying physical server resources with other organizations. However, in dedicated hosting, you get complete control over how your organization uses the physical server's resources. You get an isolated physical server environment that you can configure and manage as required. A dedicated server is useful for mission-critical applications that require high availability or compute-intensive workloads where the application demands significant server resources.
You can configure your own dedicated server to a greater level of detail compared to other types of hosting. For example, you can configure server ports, resource allocation configurations, and other low-level operating system settings. You can also monitor it for a complete view of your physical server load, network activity, and memory usage. This way, you can optimize the dedicated server for your own unique use cases.
With fewer entry points, your data is very secure in a dedicated server. You also have total control of your server configurations to implement any security strategies you require. With this additional security, you can meet very strict compliance regulations required for certain industries, like finance and healthcare. You can also change your security configurations to match new regulations as and when they come up.
High performance computing (HPC) workloads are ones like geoscientific simulations, grid-computing simulations, deep learning workloads, and high-volume data analytics. They require both access to and control of significant compute resources. For many use cases, it may be more efficient to fully control and configure the physical server running your HPC applications.
You may consider using a dedicated server for storing backup copies of data regulated by stringent data protection laws. You can customize your data backup and recovery strategies as required. For instance, you can use a dedicated server to secure financial data. Healthcare businesses tend to use dedicated servers to add another layer of protection to their medical records.
Typically, you get root access or administrative access to the server. With this access, you can install software, manage user accounts, adjust server settings, and perform any administrative tasks. You can choose the operating system, software applications, and specific configurations that best suit your needs. You can also use your existing per-socket, per-virtual-machine (VM), or per-core software licenses. And you can virtualize and run multiple instances (or virtual machines) on your dedicated server.
In fully managed hosting services, your provider gives additional services like software updates, security patches, technical support, and server monitoring. In an unmanaged dedicated hosting service, you are responsible for all server-related tasks, including operating system updates, security patches, and backups.
An Amazon EC2 Dedicated Host is a physical server with EC2 instance capacity completely dedicated to your use. With Dedicated Hosts, you can use your existing per-socket, per-core, or per-VM software licenses. This includes Windows Server, Microsoft SQL Server, and SUSE Linux Enterprise.
You can use AWS License Manager to specify your licensing terms for governing license usage. You can also specify your Dedicated Host management preferences for host allocation and host capacity utilization. Once set up, AWS takes care of these administrative tasks on your behalf, so you can seamlessly launch virtual machines (instances) on Dedicated Hosts.
You can choose a configuration that supports either a single instance type or multiple instance types within the same instance family. The number of instances that you can run on a host depends on the configuration you choose.
An Amazon EC2 Dedicated Instance is an Amazon EC2 instance (or virtual machine) that runs in a virtual private cloud (VPC) or hardware that's dedicated to a single customer. Your Dedicated Instances are physically isolated at the host hardware level from instances that belong to other AWS accounts. Dedicated Instances may share hardware with other instances from the same AWS account that are not Dedicated Instances.
