Peak Hosting, the Operations-as-a-Service leader, is proud to announce the largest CPU and RAM dedicated configuration available at unprecedented low prices.
Our 512 GB Memory Peak Lightning in the CloudSM system represents over 7.5 times the largest memory footprint available today in the cloud, ON A SINGLE SERVER. It’s also an order of magnitude compute jump over the biggest instances available today. All of this without the virtualization overhead, non-deterministic performance of shared hardware, lack of security, and poor uptime of traditional public cloud solutions.

This disruptive technology fundamentally changes the way that large CPU and memory applications are deployed. No longer will companies have to shard databases unnecessarily because they can’t get the compute they need from a single instance or the memory footprint. An example would be MemSQL achieving over 1 million inserts per second on a Peak Lightning in the Cloud ℠ server, a full 10x greater performance than the largest instances available on public cloud today.
No longer will developers strip memory intensive applications across dozens or hundreds of servers, wasting their time, increasing the complexity of having so many OS, IP, and application instances to manage, or the unnecessary power and datacenter footprint of so many inefficient and underpowered systems.
What’s the most impressive is that Peak Hosting’s $1999 per month price point is 1/6th to 1/10th the cost of a public cloud solution or dedicated server solution.
To purchase this server on Dell’s website could cost over $50,000.
