When you run multiple bare metal dedicated servers and need them to communicate at high speed, 1G networking becomes a bottleneck. That’s why we offer dual 10G NICs on our dedicated server models.
Private network capacity
With dual 10G ports, your dedicated server gets up to 20 Gbps of private network capacity. This is especially useful for distributed workloads where servers constantly exchange data:
- Ceph and distributed storage: Ceph replicates data across multiple servers. 10G networking keeps replication and recovery fast.
- MongoDB and database clusters: Replica sets and sharded clusters need low-latency, high-bandwidth communication between nodes.
- Hadoop and big data: MapReduce and similar frameworks shuffle large amounts of data between nodes during processing.
- Redis clusters: High-throughput key-value stores benefit from fast inter-node communication.
Public internet capacity
We can also provision up to 10G of public internet bandwidth on your dedicated server. This is useful for content delivery, video streaming, large file hosting, and any workload that needs to push significant traffic to end users.
Which models support 10G
Many of our dedicated server models (including the BigTwin-based 1000/1001 series) come with 10G networking built in. For other models, 10G can be added as an upgrade. Contact our sales team for pricing and availability.
