How are AMD EPYC, Ryzen, and Threadripper CPUs different?
AMD EPYC, AMD Ryzen, and AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors are all built on Zen architecture. However, they are designed for different use cases. AMD Ryzen and Ryzen Threadripper processors are primarily used in desktop computers, but they are also used in the cloud on servers hosted in data centers for various purposes. This is because they run at higher clock frequencies than AMD EPYC CPUs. These higher clock speeds result in maximum single-core performance in various use cases.

AMD Ryzen processors have between 4 and 16 cores and up to 32 threads. They are designed for general computing purposes, such as desktop computers, gaming, creative work, and home and office personal computers (PCs). AMD-powered computing systems can have only one CPU because the motherboards used for AMD Ryzen processors are single-socket only.

AMD Ryzen processors power various applications on dedicated servers, such as:
- Hosting small-to-medium LAMP stack-based websites and applications - CI/CD build servers for fast compilation and testing - API backend servers with high-frequency, low-latency demands - Rendering or simulation tasks that moderately scale across 16 cores, and game servers.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors have between 24 and 96 cores and up to 192 threads. They are designed for professional workstations and high-end desktop (HEDT) systems. Threadripper-powered computing systems can have only one CPU because the motherboards used for AMD Ryzen processors are single-socket only.

AMD Ryzen processors power various use cases when used on dedicated servers, such as:
- Virtual server environments with I/O throughput, virtualized with Proxmox, VMware, Hyper-V, or other virtualization technologies
- Container orchestration nodes with Kubernetes or Docker to support heavy container workloads with multiple concurrent threads
- Data analytics and software development environments that run multiple services, databases, or test environments
- Workstation-class compute servers used for 3D rendering, video editing, CAD simulations, or code compilation farms
- AI and ML development nodes paired with one or two GPUs for model training, inference, or data preparation.

AMD EPYC processors are designed for sustained throughput and efficiency rather than peak frequency because servers prioritize reliability and thermal control over instantaneous speed.

AMD EPYC processors have between 8 and 128 CPU cores and up to 256 threads. They are designed for use in servers, virtualization, databases, analytics, cloud hosting, and AI/ML workloads. AMD EPYC-based servers can have up to four processors due to the use of dual- or quad-CPU motherboards.

If your project or application environment requires a processor with higher base and boost clock speeds but does not require multiple CPUs, AMD Ryzen processors are a good choice, even for dedicated servers. They can have base speeds above 4.00 GHz and boost speeds above 5.50 GHz. For example, a computing system based on an AMD Ryzen Threadripper processor can have a base clock speed of 4.0 GHz and a boost clock speed of 5.3 GHz.
Do AMD servers support GPU accelerators or AI workloads?
AMD EPYC servers fully support GPU accelerators. With their high core counts, PCIe lanes, and memory capacity, they are ideal for AI and machine learning (ML) workloads, and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, as well as GPU-intensive tasks. AMD processors are actually preferred for these types of workloads.

EPYC CPU-based servers can perform deep learning training using PyTorch and TensorFlow. They can also handle data preprocessing and analytics and perform inference at scale. Multiple GPUs can be linked via NVLink, PCIe, or NVMe storage to achieve very high throughput.

AMD EPYC processors are used in multi-GPU configurations with NVIDIA H100s or AMD Instinct MI300s for AI training servers. These processors are also used for scientific computing, molecular simulations, fluid dynamics, big data, and analytics, including AI-driven analytics pipelines on Linux and virtualized computing clusters.

AMD EPYC CPUs provide up to 128 PCIe lanes per CPU for the Genoa and Milan series. This allows multiple GPUs to be installed in a single server. They support the following GPU types: NVIDIA's A100, H100, and RTX; other Tesla/Datacenter cards; and AMD's Instinct MI series: MI210, MI250, and MI300. Depending on the CPU generation, GPUs connect seamlessly over PCIe 4.0 or 5.0.
What are the AMD Ryzen dedicated servers best for?
According to various reputable sources, including computer manufacturers such as Lenovo and HP, technology news and review websites such as Tom's Hardware, PC Gamer, and PCMag, and other authoritative media outlets, AMD Ryzen-based computing platforms and servers are a better choice for gaming. Here are some of those reasons:

They have high clock speeds, multiple CPU cores, and efficient multithreading, allowing users to handle demanding games and multitask seamlessly. This is important because AMD Ryzen processors excel at running resource-intensive applications, such as streaming, video editing, and voice chat software simultaneously without impacting gaming performance.

The Zen 3 and Zen 4 architectures of AMD Ryzen processors are optimized for single-threaded tasks, which is important for games that don't scale well across many cores.

AMD Ryzen CPU models have features called "Precision Boost" and "Precision Boost Overdrive." Precision Boost automatically adjusts the cores' clock speed based on workload demands. This ensures optimal performance and power efficiency. Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) allows users to push their Ryzen processors beyond their default clock speeds, providing additional performance gains during CPU-demanding tasks.

Most Ryzen processors are unlocked and can be overclocked, a feature that gamers often use to squeeze out extra performance.

AMD Ryzen processors benefit from faster RAM speeds, which improve communication between cores.

The multi-core architecture and high clock speeds of Ryzen processors enable smooth VR experiences and deliver immersive gameplay with minimal lag or latency.

Using an AMD Ryzen CPU with the latest PCIe interface generation in a server results in faster loading times, improved storage performance, enhanced graphics capabilities, reduced bottlenecks, and improved overall system responsiveness.

Ryzen CPUs are typically paired with consumer/gaming motherboards (AM4/AM5), which offer better support for high-performance GPUs.

According to Tom's Hardware, AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D-powered servers are the fastest gaming computing platforms on the market. Performance benchmarks conducted by the media and review site show that the fastest AMD CPU for gaming is 35% faster than Intel's competing flagship Core Ultra 9 285K in 1080p gaming.

Do I get a server with an AMD Ryzen or AMD EPYC processor?
AMD Ryzen is a processor designed for workstations such as consumer desktops and laptops. AMD EPYC is a processor designed for servers to support high intensity application and technology workloads. AMD EPYC processors have higher core counts, more memory channels, and greater I/O capabilities.

According to AMD, Ryzen processors are intended for general desktop and laptop use, content creation, and gaming, while EPYC CPUs are intended for use in servers and provide computing power for high-end, resource-intensive applications, as well as for powering virtualization environments and cloud computing infrastructures.

HostColor recommends the AMD Ryzen-based bare metal servers if your organization needs to host a moderate number of remote desktop computers (also known as cloud desktops). For other server-hosted applications and workflows, we'd recommend AMD EPYC processors.
Do you have servers with AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPU?
Yes, we do. We have a dedicated server with AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7965WX processor, 512 GB RAM, scalable NMVe drive options and customizable bandwidth. Server configurations are available in a handful of US data centers.
Which AMD CPU is best for web hosting and databases?
AMD EPYC processors are reliable, can be adjusted to run more or less tasks at once, and perform well with many tasks at once. This makes them a great choice for running various business applications and database applications.

AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors (also known as Zen 5) have up to 96 cores and 192 threads, which makes them great for running multiple virtual machines, containerized applications, and high-traffic websites.

AMD EPYC 7003 Series processors (also known as Milan) have up to 64 cores and 128 threads. They provide excellent performance for database management systems based on MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Exadata, and others.

What is the security level of my AMD Dedicated Server?
AMD Bare Metal Servers and AMD-based Dedicated Cloud Hosting infrastructure providers offer the following levels of security with their dedicated hosting services:
1. Physical Environment Security
Physical environment security refers to all physical aspects of the data center facilities used to house AMD bare metal servers. This includes resilience to natural disasters, the physical design of the data center and the way server rooms and cabinets are organized, as well as power redundancy, Internet network redundancy, and overall business continuity.
2. Network Security
Network security is part of the overall data center communications architecture. It includes the redundancy of fiber connectivity routes and the wide choice of ISPs and interconnection options.
3. Physical Server Security
This can also be referred to as "Bare Metal Server Security". It refers to the specific hardware components and configurations of the AMD server that increase its uptime. These include the number of power supplies (PSUs) used, the number and capacity of network interface cards (NICs), the number and specification of hard drives used (SATA, SAS, SSD, NMVe, etc.), the use of RAID controllers, the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI, also known as ILO and iDrac by server vendors) for remote network access to the iDrac-based server, etc.
As a provider of AMD Bare Metal Servers, HC automatically covers the highest possible industry standards regarding "Physical Environment Security" and "Network Security". Physical Server Security is a customizable element of the dedicated hosting server that is selected by the user of the physical server (i.e. the customer).
Most of our AMD dedicated servers include the following "Physical Server Security" by default:
  • Redundant Power Supplies (PSUs)
  • At least 2 x 1 Gbps physical Network Interface Cards (NICs)
  • Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and IPMI capabilities, except for the Edge servers, which are shipped with SSH management access only and are not recoverable in the event of an operating system (OS) failure that renders the server inoperable
Are there AMD dedicated servers with unlimited bandwidth?
Yes, if by "unlimited bandwidth" you mean no restrictions on inbound and outbound Internet traffic and no charges for data transfer used. However, please note that in some of our datacenters, your AMD server will have a default data transfer quota measured in terabytes (TB) per month. You will be able to switch to unmetered bandwidth and unlimited traffic up to the physical capacity of the bandwidth port if you wish.
Your AMD dedicated server in any of our locations comes with a certain virtual or physical capacity of the Internet connection port, chosen by the server user. It varies from 1 Gbps to 20 Gbps.
Unless a specific data transfer quota in TB per month is specified in the AMD server plan, all AMD dedicated hosting services offered by HostColor feature "unlimited bandwidth up to the capacity of the Internet connection port". This is also called "unmetered bandwidth", which is actually a more accurate term. So, if you have been provisioned an AMD server with "Unrestricted Data Transfer", then there are no limitations or restrictions on bandwidth usage or data transfer quotas, up to the capacity of the Internet connection port you have chosen.
Is my AMD dedicated server safe from DDoS attacks?
Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks typically result in service unavailability and thousands of dollars in data transfer service fees, especially if you host your IT infrastructure with one of the major hyperscale cloud providers.
HostColor's DDoS-protected AMD dedicated servers minimize the risk of service unavailability and virtually eliminate the risk of you incurring data transfer costs as a result of artificial, bot-generated traffic to your server instances.
When you use our AMD dedicated servers, your applications run behind sophisticated DDoS protection firewalls, maximizing application availability. Our natural, enterprise-grade, DDoS-protected networks safeguard your server from unexpected network downtime, preventing loss of business and revenue. Our DDoS-protected network services filter out malicious traffic and ensure that legitimate traffic requests reach your servers and applications. Specifically, our DDoS protection includes the following capabilities:
  • Real-time mitigation of malicious attacks
  • Human-generated traffic that reaches your AMD dedicated server
  • Native protection against network attacks of any size
  • No additional fees or charges for DoS and DDoS protected servers and infrastructure
  • No fees for bot-generated and malicious traffic on all unmetered dedicated servers and dedicated clouds with AMD processors
  • No increased latency and long round-trip delays in application delivery in the event of a network attack
  • All IPv4 and IPv6 settings are protected from DDoS attacks
What does a Semi-Managed AMD Dedicated Server mean?
While most dedicated hosting providers offer "Unmanaged" or "Managed" hosting services, HostColor does "Semi-Managed" and "Managed" Dedicated Servers.
"Unmanaged" means that the client is solely responsible for the management of the AMD bare-metal server they have. The provider's responsibility is to ensure that the server's network connection is working properly and, in the event of a hardware failure, to repair the failed components or replace the entire physical server.
"Managed" means that the provider is responsible for managing the network, physical server, installed operating system, and software environment. The provider performs operating system updates, software updates, and other management and configuration tasks on the physical server. In other words, unmanaged dedicated servers have no server-side support and therefore customers pay for the basic infrastructure service. The 'Managed Dedicated Servers' have full server-side infrastructure, OS and software environment support and are therefore more expensive as the provider's experts spend time and man-hours to provide technical and system administration.
HostColor fills the gap by offering "Semi-Managed" AMD Dedicated Servers. "Semi-Managed" means that our administrators install your preferred operating system (OS) on the physical server or your preferred virtualization platform to transform the physical server into a cloud infrastructure. We create a customized technology environment based on your requirements and maintain a "baseline desired state" description of your AMD server. As part of the "Semi-Managed" support contract, HostColor will reinstall the server operating system upon request and assist the client in troubleshooting and resolving any operating system, network or software configuration issues. All "Semi-Managed" London dedicated servers include up to 30 minutes of technical and system administration per month. Any time spent by HC experts managing the server OS, software environments or troubleshooting will be charged at HostColor's standard managed service rates.
Is there technical support available for my AMD server?
All HostColor AMD dedicated servers come with "Free Infrastructure Support". HostColor never charges you for access to infrastructure technical support. Unlike the large hyperscale clouds like AWS, Azure and others, that charge their customers for access to technical support for their bare-metal or cloud infrastructure.
Our infrastructure technical support covers everything related to network interfaces and the core functionality of the physical components of your AMD-based bare metal dedicated server such as CPU, RAM, and storage drives. With our Free Infrastructure Support,, you can save money and have access to the technical support you need for the core components and networking features of your AMD server.
Please note that Free Infrastructure Support does not include support for the operating system (OS), any custom configurations created and maintained by the customer, and any installed software applications.
In addition to the "Free Infrastructure Support" HostColor takes the dedicated hosting services it provides to a new level of reliability with its "Semi-Managed Dedicated Server" support.
Is business continuity possible with AMD servers?
Yes, you can do this using virtualization technology such as Proxmox VE. Proxmox provides a software stack called the HA Manager that automatically detects failures and provides automatic failover.
The Proxmox VE HA Manager acts like an "automated" administrator. After resources (VMs, containers, etc.) are configured, the HA Manager monitors them for proper functionality and handles service failover to a redundant node (server) in case of failure or downtime. The HA manager can also handle normal user requests to start, stop, move, and migrate a service.
But it's not just Proxmox VE. There are many other technologies that enable the use of two or more physical servers to provide business continuity for IT infrastructure and hosted applications. Microsoft Windows Hyper V also allows server owners to create a high availability cluster.

For custom configurations that we do not have in stock, the delivery time is typically 3 - 7 days.
How often are the AMD EPYC servers out of stock or delayed?
Most of the high-end AMD EPYC dedicated servers listed in HostColor's AMD Server section are available for instant provisioning, or delivery within the time frame of 4 to 48 hours.

HostColor follows best practices for server provisioning, so our server appliances undergo standard resilience testing procedures. Please note that when you use the customizable options to create a custom configuration, we must assemble and test it. Depending on the standard workload, this process takes between 12 and 24 hours.

The estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the AMD EPYC-powered servers varies based on the following:
- Data Center Location
- Current stock inventory, which changes dynamically
- CPU, RAM, storage, and NIC customizations requested by the server user

HostColor usually provides precise ETAs to its customers. Our average successful delivery ratio on the promised delivery date is around 92%. This is an extremely high success rate, considering the complex logistics of delivering server appliances and custom-configured IT environments in over 100 data centers worldwide.
Are AMD servers compatible with all Linux and Windows OS?
All AMD EPYC, AMD Ryzen, and AMD Threadripper Pro processors work both with Linux and Windows operating systems (OS).

Linux OS
Ubuntu, CentOS, Rocky Linux, Debian, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and SUSE Linux perform well on servers with AMD processors. These operating systems have optimized kernels for non-uniform memory access (NUMA) and high-core-count AMD servers.

AMD processors combined with a Linux OS are ideal for hosting containerized workloads such as Kubernetes and Docker.

Microsoft Windows OS
Windows Server versions 2016, 2019, and 2022, as well as subsequent OS versions and Microsoft Hyper-V for virtualization, work on servers with AMD processors. Windows Server utilizes all cores and threads and well ans supports non-uniform memory access (NUMA) configurations for multi-socket servers.

Linux often achieves higher throughput on AMD EPYC servers than the Microsoft Windows OS due to its efficient multithreading support.

AMD EPYC, Ryzen, and Threadripper Pro processors are ideal for clusters and cloud computing systems based on Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, Citrix Hypervisor, Oracle VirtualBox, and other virtualization technologies. AMD CPUs are a great option for running multiple VMs (web, database, gaming) on a single physical server.
Which OS can I use on my AMD Dedicated Server?
In all data centers where HostColor provides AMD dedicated server hosting services, there is a wider choice of Linux distributions, Windows OS, and virtualization technologies such as Proxmox VE and VMware ESXi, etc.

In addition to all available virtualization technologies, you can install Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) virtualization technology in Ubuntu 20 (or Ubuntu 22) OS on your AMD server. VMM provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for creating and running virtual machines with Linux or Windows operating systems.
Do Docker or Kubernetes run on an AMD server??
Both run on one or more AMD bare metal servers without issue because the AMD CPU architecture does not affect container or orchestration support. AMD processors have a high number of cores and threads, which is beneficial for large clusters.

AMD EPYC and Ryzen processors are fully compatible with Docker on Linux operating systems (OS), such as Ubuntu and Debian. Docker containers run on Linux or Windows systems. These containers package an application and its dependencies, and are CPU-agnostic, provided that the CPU supports the necessary instruction sets. For example, x86_64 is required for AMD Ryzen/EPYC processors.

The Kubernetes container orchestration platform manages Docker and containerd containers. It runs on Linux and doesn't require a specific CPU make.

If you use AMD EPYC servers to power a Kubernetes-based, containerized infrastructure, the high PCIe lane count of the EPYC is ideal for connecting fast storage or GPUs for workloads.
What is the maximum RAM capacity on the AMD EPYC Server?
AMD EPYC processors have 8 memory channels per socket. The newest AMD EPYC-based servers allow two memory sticks per channel. This means that there are 16 memory sticks per CPU. DDR4 RDIMM memory lets a server have up to 128 GB of memory per DIMM. DDR4 LRDIMM allows a server to use up to 256 GB of RAM per DIMM.

A single AMD EPYC dedicated server can have 2048 GB of RAM (with 16 × 128 GB RDIMM RAM) or 4096 GB of RAM (with 16 × 256 GB LRDIMM RAM). A dual AMD EPYC dedicated server can have up to 4096 GB of RAM (RDIMM RAM) or 8192 GB of RAM (LRDIMM RAM).
What is the difference between DDR4 and DDR5 RAM?
There is a performance difference between DDR4 and DDR5 RAM on AMD dedicated servers.

DDR4 memory can operate at speeds ranging from 2133 to 3200 MHz. It provides a peak bandwidth of ~25 GB/s per channel and offers lower latency (~15–20 ns). DDR5 RAM provides higher bandwidth, which is great for memory-intensive tasks such as databases, large-scale virtualization, and AI/ML workloads.

DDR5 memory can operate at speeds ranging from 4800 to 7200+ MHz. It provides a peak bandwidth of ~38–50 GB/s per channel and offers slightly higher latency (~30–40 ns). DDR4 memory has slightly lower latency, which is good for latency-sensitive applications like gaming servers.
Can I upgrade the RAM on my AMD Dedicated Server?
Yes, RAM upgrades vary depending on the processor model, motherboard, and hardware configuration selected.
AMD Dedicated Server configurations listed with 16GB or 32GB of RAM are typically upgradeable to 64GB of RAM.

All servers listed with 32 GB of RAM or 64 GB of RAM are typically upgradeable to 128 GB of RAM, and in some cases to 256 GB of RAM.

Servers listed with 128 GB RAM can be upgraded to 512 GB RAM or more.

AMD configurations listed with 512 GB of RAM can be upgraded to 512 GB of RAM or even 2048 GB of RAM where possible.
Do AMD dedicated servers support PCIe 5.0 and NVMe SSDs?
Most AMD EPYC dedicated servers offered by HostColor support PCIe 5.0 and NVMe SSDs and offer high I/O performance. Servers that use AMD EPYC 7003 series processors (also known as Milan) use PCIe 4.0 and support 128 lanes per CPU.

The server that uses AMD EPYC 9004 series processors (also known as Genoa) uses PCIe 5.0 and has 128 lanes per CPU. They provide twice the bandwidth per lane compared to PCIe 4.0, which makes them great for NVMe SSDs, GPUs, and accelerators.

NVMe SSDs connect over PCIe lanes. This allows AMD EPYC servers with PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 to use NVMe speeds at their full potential.

PCIe 5.0 NVMe drives in the AMD EPYC 9004 CPU-based dedicated servers can read and write data at speeds of up to 14–15 GB/s. This is great for high-performance databases, caching layers, or gaming server storage.

Many server motherboards include direct NVMe slots (U.2 or M.2) and support RAID or software RAID configurations for redundancy and performance.
Can I upgrade the data storage capacity of my AMD Server?
This depends on the hardware configuration of your AMD Dedicated Server. If you feel that you need to increase the storage capacity that you use on the road, we suggest that you speak to the HC team about the possibility of leasing a server that has spare HDD bays that can be upgraded with the storage of your choice. In general, all dedicated servers in New York that are provisioned with one (1x) storage drive - either NMVe, SSD or HDD - can be upgraded.
Can I have a AMD-based dedicated cloud infrastructure?
You can use your preferred cloud computing virtualization technology to create and deploy a dedicated cloud infrastructure on a single AMD-based bare metal server or a cluster of servers. If you want to use two AMD bare metal servers, they can be directly interconnected using 1GE or 10GE NIC cards. If you need HostColor's help to create a cloud computing architecture, we can help you design one, deploy it, and manage it as needed.
Can I run Virtual Machines on my AMD Dedicated Server?
Yes. If you have an AMD-based bare metal server you can use Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, Linux Containers, VirtualBox, OpenVZ, Kubernetes, Docker, or any other virtualization platform. You can also use the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) virtualization technology in Ubuntu 20 (or Ubuntu 22) OS to create, run, and manage virtual machines (VMs) with Linux or Windows operating systems.
Can I have a Cloud PC on my AMD server?
If you need a Cloud PC running a Microsoft Windows operating system, we will provide you with an AMD bare metal server running the Proxmox VE virtualization platform. This allows you to have multiple Cloud PCs (also known as remote desktops), each running Microsoft Windows 10 or Windows 11. They can be securely accessed using Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
If you want to use a Linux-based Cloud PC, we recommend Peppermint OS. It is based on the Debian/Devuan repositories.
Can I use HC AMD servers to host Solana Validator nodes?
Yes, according to Solana's official requirements, you must use the following hardware:

Why Use Our AMD Ryzen & AMD EPYC Dedicated Servers?

HostColor provides semi-managed dedicated servers with AMD Ryzen and AMD Epyc processors from various data centers worldwide. We use our own or utilize our local partners' NOCs and our own IPv4 & IPv6 networks to design and deliver network services for the public and private dedicated cloud infrastructures used by our customers. Use our AMD dedicated servers to create a cloud infrastructure and securely host your company's internal workflows or deliver application services to your customers. HostColor does not charge you for the gigabytes or terabytes of data transfer you use, and saves you thousands of dollars per month by allowing you to use an allocated bandwidth quota that varies from 100 Mbps to 20 Gbps. There are a few things to consider when customizing your cloud-ready AMD Dedicated Server:
Bandwidth & Data Transfer

Bandwidth & Data Transfer

HC delivers AMD Dedicated Servers that are measured by the allocated "Bandwidth" quota (in Mbps or Gbps) and servers that are measured by the transmitted "Data Transfer" (in terabytes). Most of our AMD servers are measured by the allocated bandwidth and have a fixed bandwidth rate between 100 Mbps and 20 Gbps. The clients of these servers never pay for the used data transfer in gigabytes (GB) or terabytes (TB). HostColor's AMD servers, measured by the allocated "Bandwidth" and all Unmetered Servers save our customers between a few thousand and tens of thousands of dollars on an annual basis.
Linux-based Edge Server

Linux or Microsoft Windows Servers with AMD CPUs

All AMD dedicated servers can be used with any Linux distribution, a Microsoft Windows OS, or virtualization technologies such as Proxmox VE and VMware ESXi, etc.
Server Access & Management

AMD Dedicated Server Access & Management

Most AMD dedicated server configurations include IPMI/ILO/IDRAC remote server management interfaces, unless otherwise specified. In some locations your AMD server is managed using only Secure Socket Shell (SSH). Authorized users can remotely access a server using access credentials called SSH keys.
Business Continuity

Business Continuity Scenario Add-on

HostColor provides you with an IPMI/ILO/IDRAC remote management interface for your AMD dedicated server, unless otherwise specified in the server order. The remote management interface allows you to restart and troubleshoot the server in the event of a failure. If you want to ensure that your workflow is not disrupted in the event of a server failure, we recommend that you deploy two AMD-based servers and cluster them. You can do this using virtualization technology such as Proxmox VE or Microsoft Hyper V.
