UK bare-metal Intel Xeon - DDR4 ECC RAM, NVMe SSD, DDoS protection, single-tenant
About This Feature
Intel Xeon 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. Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen processors are the enterprise standard for dedicated server workloads requiring high core counts, large ECC memory capacity, and specific ISA extensions (AVX-512, Intel SGX). Our UK Xeon dedicated servers provide single-tenant bare-metal access - no virtualisation overhead, full hardware isolation, and complete root access to configure the platform to your workload's requirements. DDR4 ECC RAM ensures memory reliability for critical applications, and NVMe SSD storage handles high-I/O database and application workloads.
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. Always-on volumetric DDoS mitigation is included on every server, and Glitch Guard, our in-house XDP filtering engine, can be added per IP for protocol-aware filtering you control from the client area.
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.
Key Benefits
Every plan includes these capabilities as standard - no tier-gating, no hidden extras.
Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen (Sapphire Rapids) - AVX-512, large core counts, SGX support
DDR4 ECC RAM - error-correcting memory for critical application reliability
Single-tenant - no virtualisation overhead; full hardware access
IPMI/iDRAC console - out-of-band management for OS reinstall and BIOS access
Technical Specifications
Real specs on real hardware - not marketing numbers.
CPUs: Intel Xeon and AMD Ryzen (4th gen Sapphire Rapids); socket count varies by config

Storage: NVMe SSD + optional SAS/SATA for bulk storage
Use Cases
This feature is particularly well suited to these workloads and teams.
Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft SQL Server deployments that require Intel platform certification and often mandate Xeon CPUs for software support contracts and licensing compliance.
VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, and enterprise KVM hosts where Intel VT-d, VT-x, and hardware-assisted virtualisation features are required for production workloads.
High-memory database servers for Oracle RAC, Microsoft SQL Server, and in-memory platforms like SAP HANA - Xeon supports up to 2TB DDR5 per socket across multiple DIMM channels.
