Advance Dedicated servers — Bare Metal for business applications and virtualization

Advance servers are optimized for steady-state business workloads where consistent performance matters more than peak throughput: WordPress® and other CMS hosting, MySQL® and PostgreSQL databases, application servers, virtualization with VMware® ESXi or Proxmox® VE, container hosting with Docker® and Kubernetes®, and small-to-medium SaaS platforms. They are sized for SMEs and mid-market businesses rather than hyperscale workloads.

Advance is sized for steady, consistent business workloads, with 32 GB to 576 GB of RAM, AMD EPYC 4004/4005/8004 processors, dual-port 25 Gbps private networking, and a 99.95% SLA. Scale steps up to compute-intensive and large-scale workloads, with 128 GB to 3 TB of DDR5 ECC RAM, core counts reaching 384 cores, and 50 Gbps private vRack bandwidth, and a 99.99% SLA. High Grade is sized for mission-critical workloads, with up to 3 TB of DDR5 ECC RAM, dual-processor Intel Xeon 6 series or AMD EPYC, redundant hardware (hot-swap drives, four redundant network interfaces), private bandwidth scaling to 100 Gbps with OVHcloud Link Aggregation, and a 99.99% SLA. Choose Advance for web applications, databases, and virtualization; choose Scale for distributed systems and large-scale data processing; choose High Grade for HCI, financial trading, and high-availability workloads.

Advance servers feature AMD EPYC 4004 and 8004 series processors (Zen 4 and Zen 5 architectures) with multiple core configurations depending on the model. They offer 32 GB to 576 GB of ECC RAM (DDR4 or DDR5 depending on the SKU), along with NVMe SSD storage and other configurations based on workload needs.  

Network performance includes public bandwidth typically ranging from 1 Gbps to 5 Gbps (depending on region and model), with private networking available via vRack. All Advance servers include a 99.95% SLA and built-in OVHcloud Anti-DDoS Protection.

vRack is OVHcloud's private network that connects servers across data centers and regions over an isolated layer-2 network at no additional bandwidth cost. On Advance servers, vRack supports speeds up to 25 Gbps and lets you build private subnets between dedicated servers, Public Cloud instances, and Hosted Private Cloud — including across different OVHcloud regions — without inter-data center transfer fees. vRack is included at no cost on all Advance servers.

OVHcloud holds independently audited certifications and attestations covering its cloud services and US data centers, including ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 27017, ISO/IEC 27018, ISO/IEC 27701:2019, SSAE 18 Type 2 SOC 1, SOC 2 + NIST, and SOC 3 attestations, PCI DSS Level 1 certification, and support for HIPAA-compliant workloads in US data centers. See the OVHcloud Attestations & Certifications page for the current scope, audit reports, and certificates.

Advance servers are available across three regions: North America (Hillsboro, Oregon and Vint Hill, Virginia in the US; Beauharnois and Toronto in Canada), Europe (Gravelines, Roubaix, Strasbourg in France; Frankfurt; Warsaw; London), and Asia-Pacific (Sydney, Mumbai, Singapore). Customers can pin data to a specific region for sovereignty or latency requirements.

Every Advance server includes a 99.95% SLA, OVHcloud Anti-DDoS Protection, KVM/IPMI access for out-of-band management, a public IPv4 address, an /64 IPv6 block, vRack private networking up to 25 Gbps, and zero egress fees on North American and European data centers. Asia-Pacific data centers have a monthly traffic cap with the option to add bandwidth.

At OVHcloud, unlimited and unmetered traffic is enabled by default, with the exception of solutions and services hosted in our Asia-Pacific data centers.
