Dedicated AMD EPYC Servers Hit Market /W Secure Encrypted Virtualization

sureiam

This is the first I've seen as a dedicated server and it's pretty phenomenal IMO...

Single CPU Competes with Dual E5-2690V3
Benchmark

Also it has Secure Encrypted Virtualization for encrypting the ram for virtualized environments. That in itself is a selling point for KVM users I would assume.
Video testing it

24 Core, 48 Thread AMD EPYC CPU
128GB of DDR4 ECC Ram
2x 960GB NVMe (!) drives
50TB Traffic

ONLY € 169.00 a month!

I'm pretty impressed at the amount of hardware you can get for that price. 48 Threads is pretty impressive let alone at that performance level. Then you toss in 2x 1TB NVMe drives for good measure and 128GB of ECC4 RAM and 50TB of traffic. Nuts.. The same spec'd EYPC server costs about £5,800 to have made. I seriously don't know how they are going to make their money back at this price point, but great for the renter.

Anyway this is the first dedicated AMD EPYC box I've seen hit the market so I thought I would share it.

Really, really tempting. I need to run a bench in one of those...

Given Hetzner's IP pricing, I doubt it. Plus you can only add a single /27 to each server. So even for 7 USD per VPS, not sure if its worth.

Unless you can charge a premium for SEV. I imagine some individuals would consider that worth an extra $3 a month for their sensitive data

What does SEV stand for?

Secure Encrypted Virtualization. Check out the YouTube video in the post to see what it is. It's currently exclusive to AMD
