OVHcloud has announced the launch of its new state-of-the-art dedicated Bare Metal Advance servers powered by the latest AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors. This development marks the introduction of the third generation of advanced dedicated servers.
The new servers aim to enhance performance at both the CPU and network levels. OVHcloud has positioned itself as the first provider to offer this level of advanced performance in accessible servers, targeting small and medium businesses. The company has enhanced these servers with a high-performance private network. According to the announcement, combining these innovations ensures that ADV-Gen3 Bare Metal servers offer an optimal performance-to-price ratio.
OVHcloud emphasises the significant improvements brought by the AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors, which utilise the AM5 platform. The company aims to empower various customers, including small and medium organisations. The third-generation Advance Bare Metal servers' pricing starts at EUR €84.99 per month, offering robust performance at what OVHcloud describes as a unique price point.
The new servers leverage the AMD Zen 4 micro-architecture, featuring up to 16 cores and 32 threads to handle demanding workloads. OVHcloud also announced a 24-core, 48-thread variant powered by AMD EPYC 8224P processors for the ADV-5 model. Available in multiple configurations, these servers are tailored for various use cases such as web hosting, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions, containerisation, virtualisation, databases, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, and storage and archiving.
John Morris, Corporate VP of the Enterprise and HPC Business Group at AMD, stated, "We are thrilled to collaborate with OVHcloud on Bare Metal dedicated servers powered by AMD EPYC processors. Leveraging the same powerful technology trusted by major data centres, AMD EPYC 4004 Series processors are designed for affordability, empowering small and medium businesses to achieve greater success."
