The Problem

Common Challenges for IT teams, MSPs, and developers building private cloud infrastructure on dedicated hardware

These are the issues that consistently come up when IT teams, MSPs, and developers building private cloud infrastructure on dedicated hardware try to scale on the wrong infrastructure.

Challenge 1

Public cloud costs escalate unpredictably - egress charges, storage IOPS fees, and compute surcharges make budgeting impossible

Challenge 2

Shared public cloud infrastructure means noisy neighbours can impact your VM performance without warning

Challenge 3

Vendor lock-in to AWS/Azure/GCP makes migration difficult and gives you no control over the underlying hardware

How We Help

How Glitch Servers Solves This

Public cloud providers charge premium rates for compute, egress, and storage. For businesses with predictable workloads, a dedicated server running Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, or KVM gives you the same virtualisation capabilities at a fraction of the cost - with full control over resource allocation, networking, and security. A private cloud on dedicated hardware eliminates noisy-neighbour performance issues, gives you predictable monthly costs, and keeps your data on UK infrastructure under your direct control.

External resources: LINX (London Internet Exchange) and RIPE NCC (European IP registry).


A Glitch Servers dedicated server gives you bare-metal hardware to run any hypervisor. Install Proxmox VE for free KVM/LXC virtualisation, VMware ESXi for enterprise workloads, or plain KVM/QEMU for maximum flexibility. Create and destroy VMs on demand, allocate CPU and RAM per VM, and manage everything through your hypervisor's web interface. IPMI/iDRAC provides out-of-band access for OS reinstalls and recovery. Dual Xeon options with 64GB RAM support dozens of concurrent VMs. All on UK infrastructure with DDoS protection included.

What You Get

Built for IT teams, MSPs, and developers building private cloud infrastructure on dedicated hardware

The features that matter most for your workload, included as standard.

⚡

Any Hypervisor

Full root access means you install whatever you want - Proxmox VE, VMware ESXi, XCP-ng, OpenStack, or plain KVM. No restrictions on virtualisation software.

🛡

IPMI Out-of-Band Access

Remote console, power control, and OS reinstallation via IPMI/iDRAC. Essential for hypervisor management - reboot into BIOS, mount ISOs, and recover from misconfigurations remotely.

🔧

Up to 64GB RAM

Dual Xeon E5 options with 64GB DDR4 RAM support dozens of concurrent VMs. Allocate memory per VM precisely - no shared pool contention.

💰

UK Data Sovereignty

All data stays in the UK on hardware you control. No third-country transfers, no shared tenancy, no cloud provider accessing your data. Important for GDPR and regulated workloads.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Proxmox VE installs directly on bare metal. Use IPMI to mount the Proxmox ISO and install remotely. Full KVM and LXC virtualisation with a web management interface - completely free.
Depends on per-VM allocation. A Dual Xeon E5-2640 v3 with 64GB RAM can run 10-20 light VMs (2GB each) or 4-6 heavy VMs (8-12GB each). NVMe storage keeps VM disk I/O fast across all instances.
For predictable workloads, significantly cheaper. A £65/mo dedicated server with 64GB RAM replaces several hundred pounds of equivalent EC2/Azure VM instances - with no egress charges.
