Frankfurt Bare Metal Now Available: Dedicated AMD EPYC Power
After a strong interest check from our community, bare metal servers in Frankfurt are now available. These are dedicated machines - the entire server is yours, with no virtualisation overhead and no neighbours competing for resources.
Why dedicated hardware
A VPS is the right tool for many jobs, but some workloads demand the whole machine: full Solana RPC nodes, validators, high-throughput databases, and anything sensitive to the "noisy neighbour" effect. With bare metal you get guaranteed CPU, RAM, and I/O, plus the freedom to tune the OS and kernel exactly how you want.
Example specification
| Component | Spec |
|---|---|
| CPU | AMD EPYC 4584PX |
| RAM | 128-192GB |
| Storage | 2x 2TB M.2 NVMe PCIe |
| Network | 10GbE with Teraswitch peering |
The networking matters as much as the CPU
Frankfurt bare metal sits behind premium peering, including Teraswitch connectivity. For on-chain workloads, that network position is the difference between competitive and uncompetitive - raw CPU is only half the story.
