High-performance configurations
Servers are available in the following forms:
- High-density compute: A minimum of 12 processor cores (up to 40 cores per bare metal instance) and 192 GB of RAM per subscriber, with blades available in 256, 384, 512, and 768 GB RAM models
- Low-density compute: At least 8 processor cores and 96 GB RAM per subscriber
- Bare metal with GPUs
- Bare metal with Optane memory
- Bare metal with local storage (T0 and T2)
Redundant Gigabyte Ethernet ports:
- 2× Fiber Channel ports
