Get Special Pricing on FlexServers

The world’s only solution that lets you vertically scale 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs with a single reboot.

Flex Servers

How does it work?

Architected for intensive and changing workloads such as webserver applications, highly transactional databases, virtualization, AI/DL inference and HPC, FlexServers by phoenixNAP provide powerful infrastructure for modern organizations. A customized implementation of Intel® Speed Select Technology allows changing configuration on a single CPU, activates with a single server reboot, and requires no hardware or software changes to increase or decrease the CPU’s power.

The possibility to vertically scale CPUs helps you to meet your performance needs while allowing for flexible IT resource planning. You can simply request an upgrade or downgrade and reboot of your server to access new capabilities and optimize performance of your workloads.

2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors come in four basic configurations with phoenixNAP and each allows you to leverage the power of the latest gen processor.

Cutting-Edge Technologies Supported

Intel Optane SSDs

Intel® Optane SSDs

Leverage fast and responsive storage systems with phoenixNAP’s FlexServers. Designed to increase storage application performance in a cost-effective manner, Intel Optane SSDs are ideal for organizations handling dynamic and demanding workloads. Intel Optane NVMe drives provide very low latency local storage with an extreme resiliency of 30 DWPD. These features make them perfect not just for primary storage for transaction intensive applications, but also as a caching tier in front of other high capacity and slower storage devices.

Custom Components

Custom Components

phoenixNAP’s flexible delivery and payment options enable you to configure your system and scale resources as you grow. With the option to choose the CPU that suits your workloads and adjust memory and storage capacity, you can tailor your architecture to your needs. phoenixNAP FlexServers support highly resilient (30 DWPD) and low latency Intel NVMe drives— the P4800X SSD and soon the new P4801X SSD. Both are usable with the FatTwin chassis, which can accommodate 2 NVMe drives out of the box.
