The right Xeon Gold server depends less on the processor name and more on what your application actually needs.
Dual CPU configurations are the natural choice when your workload can use many CPU threads. Current eServers options include configurations with up to 56 physical cores. These systems work well for virtualisation, parallel processing, analytics and other multi-threaded workloads.
For applications that depend more heavily on per-core performance, higher-frequency Gold processors can be a better fit. For example, the Xeon Gold 6254 runs at a 3.10GHz base frequency, while the Xeon Gold 6244 reaches 3.60GHz base frequency.
Memory-heavy workloads can benefit from configurations with 192GB, 256GB or 384GB RAM, depending on the server. This is particularly useful for databases, virtualisation hosts, caching systems and in-memory data processing.
The newer Xeon Gold configurations in the range include processors such as the 6426Y, 6526Y and 6542Y, paired with DDR5 memory. Choose these platforms when newer-generation memory architecture is more important than the lower cost of older DDR4 configurations.
NVMe storage is available on selected servers for workloads that require high storage performance, while network options range from 1Gbps to 25Gbps. For data-intensive applications, backups, media delivery and high-traffic services, the storage and network configuration can be just as important as the CPU.
eServers currently offers Xeon Gold configurations across London, Worcester, York, Nottingham, Wakefield and Birmingham.
Having multiple UK deployment options also allows organisations to choose infrastructure based on workload requirements, user geography or a separate location for backup infrastructure.
eServers provides Xeon Gold dedicated servers across six UK locations, with single and dual CPU configurations, DDR4 and DDR5 memory, multiple storage options, GPU servers and network ports up to 25Gbps.
Yes. Xeon Gold is well suited to virtualisation because eServers offers configurations with multiple physical CPU cores and large memory capacities. These servers can run platforms such as VMware, Proxmox, Hyper-V and KVM.
Yes. eServers offers multiple dual-CPU Xeon Gold configurations. These are useful for workloads that can benefit from higher total core counts and memory capacity.
Selected newer configurations use Xeon Gold 6426Y, 6526Y and 6542Y processors with DDR5 memory. Other configurations in the range use DDR4.
Yes. Selected configurations include NVIDIA GPUs such as the Tesla T4, A10, A30, L4 and L40S. GPU availability depends on the specific server configuration.
Xeon Gold configurations are available with network options from 1Gbps to 25Gbps, including unmetered options on selected servers.
eServers currently offers Xeon Gold dedicated servers in London, Worcester, York, Nottingham, Wakefield and Birmingham.
Pricing depends on the processor, number of CPUs, memory, storage, GPU, bandwidth and location. Current pricing is shown in the live server listings.
