High-capacity UK bare-metal storage - NVMe + SAS hybrid, RAID, 100TB+ raw capacity
About This Feature
Storage Dedicated Servers in the UK from Glitch Servers provides full bare-metal performance with no virtualisation overhead - backed by AMD Ryzen hardware, NVMe Gen4 storage, and UK-native routing through AS212868. Storage-optimised dedicated servers combine fast NVMe SSD for hot data and system volumes with high-capacity SAS or SATA drives for bulk storage - providing the best of both tiers in a single server. Our UK storage dedicated servers suit backup repositories, media archives, NAS workloads, large database deployments, and video production storage. Hardware RAID controllers with NVMe-backed cache tier, large drive bay counts (12–36 bays), and the option for 4–16TB enterprise SAS drives provide raw capacities from 24TB to 500TB+ per server.
Hardware on Glitch dedicated server plans includes Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen options with DDR4 ECC RAM configurations up to 512 GB and NVMe Gen4 storage in RAID configurations. Each server ships with a 1Gbps unmetered port as standard, with a 10Gbps burst port available as an upgrade for transfer-heavy workloads.
The network operates through AS212868 with direct LINX and LONAP peering and NTT/GTT Tier-1 transit, delivering consistent low-latency paths to UK ISPs and international destinations. Corero Smartwall inline DDoS mitigation protects every server at the network edge without requiring a separate scrubbing appliance or additional monthly charge.
Managed and unmanaged configurations are available. Unmanaged servers ship with a base OS install and full root access. Managed plans add proactive monitoring, OS patching, and 24/7 emergency response. Full hardware specifications and pricing are on the dedicated servers page.

Use Cases
This feature is particularly well suited to these workloads and teams.
Building TrueNAS, MinIO, or Ceph deployments for centralised storage - high-capacity dedicated servers provide the drive bays, memory, and network connectivity for petabyte-scale storage arrays.
Secondary backup targets, LTO-adjacent disk-based archives, and long-retention data stores - high-capacity HDDs provide cost-effective GB/£ storage for compliance and disaster recovery.
Video production houses and broadcasters storing raw footage, edit proxies, and finished deliverables - storage servers with the optional 10Gbps burst port support simultaneous multi-stream read/write workflows.
