Bare metal: the processor, the socket and the board
Nothing else is scheduled on this processor. On bare metal you get the processor, and the socket, and the board it sits on.
The whole machine, and nobody else on it.
Our standard build is one AMD EPYC 4584PX, its memory and its disks, with no hypervisor of ours in between. Need different hardware? Tell us what you need: we can source other builds, depending on availability, and quote them.

What is on the board. The standard build: one socket, two memory channels, NVMe drives, and a network card whose driver runs our filter.
The key
- AAM5 socket, one processor. The AMD EPYC 4584PX with 16 cores and 32 threads, 128 MB of L3.
- BDDR5, 2 channels. Up to 5200 MT/s. The amount is yours to choose.
- CNVMe drives on PCIe. The processor provides PCIe 5.0 x28. Size and count are set in the quote.
- DThe 25 Gbit/s network card and its driver. Prism's XDP/eBPF program runs here and drops attack packets before your operating system's network stack sees them.
- EThe upstream edge. 17 Tbps of upstream mitigation capacity absorbs the largest floods before they reach the machine.
A single-socket board, as a schematic
Drawn from the published figures. The number of memory modules and drives is whatever your quote says.
Every core is yours. All 16 cores on both compute dies, all 32 threads, and the full clock range from 4.2 GHz base to 5.7 GHz boost.
VDS: whole cores out of these 16
On a VDS, you get whole cores out of these 16, from 2 to 16, at published prices.
What bare metal gives you that a VDS does not. The same processor on both in the standard build. The difference is what sits between you and it.
| Compared | VDS | Bare metal |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | 2 to 16 cores allocated to your server | All 16 cores and 32 threads, and the socket they sit in |
| Memory | Fixed per plan, 8 to 64 GB | Whatever you ask for in the quote, on the machine's own slots |
| Storage | Fixed per plan, 100 to 1500 GB | The physical drives, laid out how you want them |
| What runs underneath | Our KVM hypervisor, with your server as a guest | Nothing. Your operating system boots on the hardware |
| Kernel | Your kernel, running as a guest | Your kernel, on the hardware itself |
| Your own hypervisor | Your server is itself a virtual machine | Install one and run your own virtual machines |
| Buying | Published monthly prices, order from the panel | Quoted per build, by email |
Do not need the hardware itself? See VDS plans, from 2 to 16 cores at published prices, ready to order.
What stays exactly the same. Bare metal is not a different network. It is the same one, with a bigger share of the hardware.
Prism at the network driver
The same XDP/eBPF filter checks every packet at the network card's driver, with protocol validators for TeamSpeak, RDP, DNS, VPN, game protocols and more.
How the filter works| Port | Service | Check | Whole port |
|---|---|---|---|
| tcp/443 | Web (HTTPS) | None | |
| tcp/22 | SSH | 2,000 pps | |
| udp/53 | DNS | 20,000 pps | |
| tcp/3389 | RDP | 5,000 pps | |
| udp/30120 | FiveM | 50,000 pps | |
| any other | Closed | ||
Flip a check to see what changes. Web and SSH have no protocol validator.
17 Tbps upstream
The same upstream mitigation capacity sits in front of this machine as in front of every other server. It is not metered or divided per customer.

How a quote works. Four steps, by email. There is no published price because the price follows the build.
Step 1: You tell us what you need
Email contact@clouduxe.com with the region, memory, storage and operating system you want. The button below fills in the questions for you.
Step 2: We reply with a configuration and a price
A specific build for your answers, and what it costs. If something you asked for does not fit the platform, the reply says so.
Step 3: You pay
If the configuration and price work for you, you accept the quote and pay for it.
Step 4: We hand over access
We give you access to the machine, and it is yours from there.
What the email asks
The 6 things we need to know to propose a configuration and a price. The button fills them in as blanks.
- Region
- Mumbai, Singapore or LimburgWhere the machine sits. Mumbai, Singapore, Limburg: the same hardware and filter in each.
- Memory
- how much you needDDR5 on 2 channels. Tell us the amount and we configure the modules.
- Storage
- size and number of drivesNVMe. Say how much space you need and how you want it split across drives.
- Operating system
- or "I will install my own"The system you want installed, or none if you are bringing your own kernel or hypervisor.
- Expected traffic
- visitors, requests or bandwidthSo we can tell you honestly what connection your traffic needs.
- Workload
- what the machine will runSo the configuration we propose fits what the machine will actually run, and the traffic the filter will see.

Questions about bare metal
Why is there no price on this page?
Because the price depends on the build: how much memory, how many drives, which region. We quote each machine rather than publish a price that would be wrong for most of them.
Which processor is it?
Our standard build is the AMD EPYC 4584PX: 16 cores, 32 threads, 4.2 GHz base and up to 5.7 GHz boost, 128 MB of L3 cache, on the AM5 platform with DDR5 memory on 2 channels. The same processor as every VPS and VDS we sell.
Can I get different hardware?
Yes, depending on availability. If you need a different processor, more memory, more or bigger drives or another configuration, email contact@clouduxe.com with what you need and we will tell you what we can source, and quote it.
Is DDoS protection included?
Yes. The machine sits behind the same 17 Tbps of upstream mitigation capacity as every other server, and traffic is filtered by Clouduxe Prism at the network driver. There is nothing to add to the quote.
Can I run my own hypervisor?
Yes. With nothing underneath your operating system, you can install a hypervisor and run your own virtual machines on the processor's cores.
Which regions can I choose?
Mumbai, Singapore and Limburg. Tell us which one in your email.
How fast is the network?
The machine has a 25 Gbit/s network card. Tell us the traffic you expect in your email and we will tell you what connection it needs.
How long does it take to get the machine?
We do not publish a turnaround, because it depends on the build and the region. Ask in your email and the reply will answer for your configuration.
Do I need the whole machine?
Often not. A VDS allocates 2 to 16 whole cores to you on the same processor, at published prices you can order today. Bare metal is for when you need the hardware itself: your own hypervisor, your own kernel on the metal, or memory and disks beyond a plan.
Tell us the build. We will tell you the price.
The whole AMD EPYC 4584PX, in Mumbai, Singapore and Limburg, behind the same filter as every server we run.
