OVHcloud rolls out AMD-based Bare Metal 2026 servers
OVHcloud's Bare Metal 2026 servers target heavier workloads while keeping costs predictable and energy use lower, using newer AMD processors and faster networking.
Organizations today face larger volumes of data, more mixed workloads, and rising pressure to control spending and energy consumption. Against that backdrop, OVHcloud has introduced its Bare Metal 2026 series of dedicated servers, designed to help businesses that need predictable infrastructure performance without losing sight of cost or sustainability.
The new servers are based on the latest AMD Ryzen and AMD EPYC processors. They are positioned for workloads that demand consistent compute power, such as machine learning, blockchain systems, virtualized environments, and online gaming. Rather than focusing on peak performance alone, the design centers on balancing processing capability with operational stability and power efficiency.
As companies expand digital operations, infrastructure requirements are becoming more complex. Databases, container platforms, and virtualization layers compete for system resources. OVHcloud describes the Bare Metal 2026 platform as a foundation designed to handle these shifting demands while giving organizations clearer visibility into infrastructure costs.
Modern workloads increasingly rely on parallel processing, high-speed memory, and fast storage access. The new servers use DDR5 memory, multiple storage configurations, and processors with higher core counts to keep tasks moving efficiently. The company also highlights performance-per-watt improvements as part of an effort to reduce the environmental footprint tied to data center operations.
Network capacity is another focus area. Depending on configuration, the servers provide public bandwidth between 1 and 5 Gbit/s, alongside private network links reaching up to 50 Gbit/s. That internal bandwidth is intended for clustered systems and distributed applications that depend on rapid data exchange between nodes.
The Bare Metal 2026 portfolio is divided into several server families, each aimed at different operational needs.
The Advance 2026 range, available in APAC as well as North America and Europe, targets blockchain validation, database workloads, and container clusters. These systems run on AMD EPYC 4005 processors with up to 16 cores and DDR5 ECC memory. OVHcloud lists a 99.95% service level agreement for this line.
The Scale 2026 servers are built for heavier analytics and computing workloads. They support AMD SEV features designed for confidential computing scenarios. Dual-socket configurations can scale to hundreds of cores and large DDR5 memory pools, with storage options that extend into multi-terabyte NVMe setups. These systems are also offered in multi-availability zone deployments intended to support redundancy planning.
Outside the APAC market, OVHcloud is also introducing two additional lines. Rise 2026 systems focus on general business workloads and lighter virtualization, using AMD Zen 5 architecture processors. The Game 2026 servers are configured for online gaming environments, where lower latency and protection against network attacks are priorities.
Yaniv Fdida, Chief Product & Technology Officer at OVHcloud, said: "The new generation of Bare Metal 2026 servers is not only a technological upgrade, it is a direct response to the daily challenges our customers face. Powered by the latest AMD processors, they deliver greater performance, stability and predictability without compromising energy efficiency. At the heart of our promise towards customers lies the ability to move faster, with peace of mind and with full control over their infrastructure."
The infrastructure supporting these servers runs in OVHcloud facilities that use water-cooling systems intended to improve energy efficiency. The company says its data protection framework aligns with ISO 27001 standards and emphasizes regional data control practices that allow customers to choose where information is stored and managed.
