OVHcloud unveils Bare Metal 2026 servers with AMD chips

OVHcloud has rolled out a new generation of dedicated servers under its Bare Metal 2026 line-up, built on the latest AMD Ryzen and EPYC processors.

The refresh spans four ranges, each aimed at specific workloads. OVHcloud positions the line-up for organisations running machine learning, blockchain, large-scale virtualisation, and online game hosting, with energy efficiency and resilience highlighted as design priorities.

"The new generation of Bare Metal 2026 servers is not only a technological upgrade, it's 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," said Yaniv Fdida, Chief Product & Technology Officer at OVHcloud.

Dedicated servers remain a core part of OVHcloud's portfolio alongside its public cloud products. They are typically used when customers want single-tenant hardware, predictable performance, and fixed configurations. In practice, bare metal deployments are often paired with virtual machines and container platforms, with teams reserving physical capacity for steady workloads.

Four ranges

Rise 2026 sits at the entry end of the portfolio. It is positioned as a general-purpose option for intensive workloads, web environments, and light virtualisation. Configurations use AMD Ryzen or AMD EPYC x86 processors based on AMD's Zen 5 microarchitecture. Pricing starts at 54.99 euros per month in Europe and Canada.

Game 2026 targets online game hosting, with systems designed to host game sessions and run virtual machines for gaming environments. The range includes OVHcloud's built-in Anti-DDoS service. It uses AMD Ryzen 9000 X3D series x86 processors, with Level 3 cache cited as helping reduce latency. Pricing starts at 129.99 euros per month in Europe and Canada.

Advance 2026 focuses on blockchain-related infrastructure, including validation nodes and other blockchain components. It also targets hosting, database management, and cluster deployments of high-performance containers. The range uses AMD EPYC 4005 x86 processors with up to 16 cores and 32 threads, paired with ECC DDR5 memory. OVHcloud lists a 99.95% SLA and availability across Europe, Canada, the United States, and APAC.

Scale 2026 is positioned for larger deployments and compute-heavy work, including big data, analytics, and high-performance computing. The range supports AMD SEV technology for confidential computing workloads and is offered in "3-AZ configurations" for customers with resilience requirements.

Scale 2026 systems are based on AMD EPYC 9005 series x86 processors. Configurations can scale up to 384 cores and 768 threads, with up to 3 TB of ECC DDR5 memory. Storage can reach up to 98 TB of NVMe drives. Availability covers Europe, Canada, the United States, and APAC.

Memory and storage

Across the line-up, OVHcloud is standardising on DDR5 memory and expanding storage options. Higher core counts, faster memory, and rapid storage are positioned as key parts of the update, alongside a focus on durability and robustness.

The Bare Metal 2026 line-up also includes networking aimed at modern application architectures. Public bandwidth is described as unlimited and guaranteed, ranging from 1 to 5 Gbit/s depending on configuration. Private bandwidth reaches up to 50 Gbit/s for clustered deployments and distributed systems that shift traffic between nodes.

Scale and footprint

OVHcloud operates more than 500,000 servers across 46 data centres on four continents and serves 1.6 million customers in more than 140 countries. It builds and operates its own infrastructure, including servers, data centres, and a fibre-optic network.

For buyers, the Bare Metal 2026 refresh is likely to appeal to teams assessing how far they can push virtualisation and container density on dedicated hardware. It also targets demand for configurations that can handle data-heavy workloads, latency-sensitive gaming services, and security requirements associated with confidential computing.

The line-up is available across Europe and Canada for the Rise 2026 and Game 2026 ranges, with broader regional availability for Advance 2026 and Scale 2026, including the United States and APAC.
