DS-2: 16 threads, 64 GB, 2 × 512 GB NVMe
DS-2 uses the GE-suffix Ryzen PRO part, which trades peak clock speed for a smaller thermal envelope. In practice that makes it a steady, quiet workhorse rather than a sprinter: sixteen threads that hold their pace for as long as the work lasts, with 64 GB of DDR5 behind them.

Scope
What the price covers.
The right-hand column is not a list of things we are working on. It is the shape of the product.
In the price
- A whole physical machine — no hypervisor of ours, no neighbours, no oversubscription
- 1 Gbit uplink with unmetered traffic
- One IPv4 address and a /64 of IPv6
- Full hardware access: run your own hypervisor, container platform or bare operating system
- Available in Germany
- Provisioned within one business day of the order clearing
Not in the price
- Self-managed: operating system, patching and application support are yours
- A one-off setup fee applies on the first invoice and is not refundable
- No hourly billing and no minute-scale provisioning — this is hardware, not an instance
- No panel-driven resize: changing machine is a migration to a different one
- No Windows licensing sold with it; the images we support are Linux
- We do not publish IOPS figures for these drives because we have not measured them ourselves
Suited to
What DS-2 is the right machine for.
Eight efficiency-focused AMD cores and 64 GB, for machines that run all day at moderate load.
- Steady production workloads
- Applications with a flat load curve, where consistency matters more than the top of the clock range.
- A private services host
- Mail, files, Git and a wiki for a team, all on hardware nobody else shares.
- A staging mirror of production
- The same shape as a bigger machine at a fraction of the cost, for rehearsing changes properly.
