Cloud Server Flavor Classes

VMs running on multi-tenant hosts. Smaller sizes, balanced resources, and CPU and network burst capablity provide lowest price points and best value.

General Purpose

Use Cases:

  • Test and development
  • Low- to medium-traffic web servers
  • Batch processing
  • Network appliances
  • Small to medium databases

VMs running on multi-tenant hosts. Smaller sizes and workload-specific designs allow for price-performance optimization for your particular application.

Compute Optimized

Use for medium to large web servers, application servers, batch processing, and network appliance.

I/O Optimized

Use for medium to large relational databases and NoSQL data stores

Memory Optimized

Use for medium to large caches, search indexes, and in-memory analytics

API-driven, instantly provisioned, single-tenant, bare-metal servers. Full host, workload-specific designs provide large-scale cost efficiencies as well as maximum and consistent performance.

Compute Optimized

Use for large-scale web servers, application servers, batch processing, and network appliances

I/O Optimized

Use for large-scale online transaction processing (OLTP), relational databases, and NoSQL data stores

Memory Optimized

Use for large-scale caches, search indexes, and in-memory analytics

"We’re spending a little less than we were before with our dedicated server. And by moving to the Cloud, we’re getting twice as much computing out of it."

The Managed Infrastructure service level has a minimum monthly service charge of $50£31A$63€42 across all Cloud Servers (virtual and bare metal).

The Managed Operations: SysOps service level has a minimum monthly service charge of $500£307A$625€424 across all Cloud Servers (virtual and bare metal).

Currency:

* Disk I/O is shared across the host.

1 The number of virtual CPUs assigned to your Cloud Server. A vCPU corresponds to a physical CPU thread.

2 The amount of disk space allocated to your Cloud Server's operating system. System disks are RAID 10-protected and are captured when you image a server.

3 The amount of additional disk space allocated for your application data. Data disks are RAID 10-protected and are NOT captured when you image a server.

4 The amount of aggregate outbound bandwidth across all attached network interfaces (PublicNet, ServiceNet, Cloud Networks). The maximum amount of outbound public Internet bandwidth is limited to 50% of the aggregate limit. Inbound traffic is not limited. Host networking is redundant and bandwidth is delivered over two separate bonded interfaces, each able to carry 50% of the aggregate limit. We recommend using multiple Layer 4 connections to maximize throughput.

5 Legacy Service Level and Server Flavor pricing is available here.
