Advantages of a Scale server
High quality for high performance
Harness the power of OVHcloud expertise. We carefully select the best components on the market, then optimise them with intensive testing to give you unrivalled solutions. You can then focus on your core business, by relying on servers that can support strategic and varied workloads.
Guaranteed high-speed connectivity
With four network links, professional servers from the Scale range guarantee availability, up to 25 Gbps* of throughput. With the OVHcloud Link Aggregation included feature, you can dedicate all or part of the links to your internal network (vRack), to ensure that data is transferred between servers within your infrastructure.
*The OVHcloud Link Aggregation feature must be enabled and configured to use all four network links.
A highly resilient infrastructure
Scale servers deliver an optimal balance of power and availability. They also have a high guarantee level, with a 99.99% Service Level Agreement (SLA). All platforms are based on an architecture with redundant electrical circuits, cooling system, network and power supply.

Features
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
Each high-performance server has a public IPv4 address and an IPv6 address range. As an option, you can rent additional IPv4 addresses for your dedicated server (up to 256 per machine).
1 Gbps guaranteed and unmetered public bandwidth
Your professional dedicated server has guaranteed public bandwidth. Incoming and outgoing traffic is unmetered and not billed (excluding servers deployed in our datacentres in Asia-Pacific). You can increase this public bandwidth up to 10 Gbps.
Service Level Agreement (SLA)
All our top-of-the-range dedicated servers have a 99.99% SLA, which guarantees the best availability for your business applications, at the best price.
vRack private network
Your server is delivered with our private physical network — the vRack. This means you can create your own cluster, or include your server in an existing infrastructure. It is completely isolated from the internet and delivered at no extra cost.
OVHcloud Link Aggregation
The OVHcloud Link Aggregation feature maximises the availability of your dedicated servers. You can enable it via the OVHcloud Control Panel to group your network links (public and private). This ensures service continuity, and a very high-bandwidth private network for your most critical applications and distributed systems.
Dual power supply (2xPSU)
Power supply is one of the key components of guaranteeing an infrastructure’s availability. Depending on how critical your project is, a dual power supply is an important aspect of avoiding any downtime. Service interruptions can prove costly in terms of both business and brand image.
Our 3-AZ Region in Paris
This solution allows you to deploy a cluster of 3 Scale or High Grade dedicated servers spread across our Availability Zones (AZ) around Paris. Thus, you benefit from a very low latency network (under 3 ms) and a minimum distance of 30 km between the Availability Zones, which makes it easy to deploy critical workloads requiring high availability and resilience.

Your questions answered
What should a Scale server be used for?
Scale servers are well-suited to complex organisations that require resource-intensive IT environments, and quick scalability. With this new dedicated server range, you can run resource-intensive and varied workloads.
What is a Scale server used for?
The Scale server, a high-performance computing server, is versatile and suitable for many applications. This range is particularly essential in resource-intensive sectors that rely heavily on reliability and processing capacity. Scale servers cater to companies that require unique, custom configurations to their meet their specific, individual needs. Whether it’s a high-traffic website, enterprise application, or large database, Scale servers ensure fast processing of these critical applications with reliability and performance. Moreover, Scale servers are capable of processing large amounts of data quickly, which is crucial for scientific research, financial analysis, engineering, and the building and running of AI and machine learning models. These capabilities make Scale servers an optimal choice for workloads and applications that demand high performance, reliability, and processing capacity.
Where would my data be hosted?
Scale servers are deployed in our datacentres across several continents. This means you can host your data in a datacentre to meet specific regulatory requirements, get improved performance, and minimise latency.
What is the vRack private network?
To secure transmissions between machines within an infrastructure, it is important to use a secure, private physical network. You can use our vRack private network to connect all of your servers, and spread your workloads within a distributed cluster.
Are Scale servers ISO 27001 certified?
Scale dedicated servers are ISO/IEC 27001 certified, which is a guarantee that strict data security processes are implemented.
What are the technical specifications of the Scale range?
The memory capacity of our Scale dedicated servers varies from 128 GB to 1 TB of DDR5 ECC, while the public bandwidth is between 1 and 10 Gbps and private bandwidth of 25 Gbps – both guaranteed. You can also maximise performance with the Load Balancer, anticipate activity peaks by adding bandwidth, and manage service and project availability with Additional IPs.

Which is the best server?
Your specific needs in terms of resources, performance, storage, and features will determine the best server for you. Depending on your plans, some dedicated server and web hosting plans may be more suitable than others.
Which dedicated server should I choose?
There are two factors to consider when choosing your server: your use case and your infrastructure. Your ideal Bare Metal server’s structure and composition will vary based on these factors. If you want to host a website, a single-processor server with high bandwidth is exactly what you need. If you’d like to host a SaaS solution, you’ll need a private network to connect the server to the database. Prioritise core density, storage capacity, and high Service Level Agreement (SLA) when choosing a server for projects involving large data sets.
Why choose a professional dedicated server?
Companies seeking one-off performance, enhanced security, and high customisation potential should consider going for a professional dedicated server. High-performance dedicated servers feature powerful cores, making them perfect for resource-intensive tasks. To ensure the success of your project, you can tailor your professional server – the common option – by selecting the desired CPUs, memory, bandwidth (private and public), storage, and GHz frequency.
Why choose a professional dedicated server?
