AMD compute power

Our virtual machines run on high-performance AMD EPYC processors, delivering exceptional compute power and scalability. These enterprise-grade CPUs are optimised for demanding workloads, ensuring consistent performance for a wide range of applications and services.

vSAN all-SSD storage

Our infrastructure uses VMware vSAN with an all-SSD configuration, delivering high-speed, low-latency storage for all virtual machines. By leveraging solid-state drives exclusively, we ensure fast data access, improved I/O performance, and consistent throughput, even under heavy workloads. This setup is ideal for environments that demand reliability and speed, such as databases, application servers, and virtual desktops.
