04 Advanced Servers
Advanced servers for compute that never idles.
High core counts, large memory footprints and fast NVMe storage — single-tenant hardware for rendering, builds, simulation and data processing that keep every core busy.
[01] / Overview
Hardware for workloads that saturate everything
Advanced Servers are single-tenant, high-performance machines for compute-heavy work: rendering, build pipelines, simulation, analytics and in-memory data processing.
They're specified around the resources these workloads exhaust first — high core counts, large memory footprints and fast NVMe storage — so the hardware keeps up when every core is busy for hours.
As with every Clouders server, there's no hypervisor and no neighbours: the full machine is available to your jobs.
[02] / Key benefits
Why teams choose advanced servers
High core counts
Parallel workloads scale across many cores — all of them yours.
Large memory footprints
Keep big datasets, caches and models in memory instead of on disk.
Fast NVMe storage
Low-latency, high-throughput drives for scratch space and data-heavy jobs.
Sustained, not burst
Dedicated hardware for jobs that run at full load for hours, not seconds.
No virtualisation overhead
Bare metal gives your software direct access to every resource.
Tune the whole stack
Root access to choose kernels, libraries and schedulers for your workload.

[04] / Workload fit
Find the resource your workload exhausts first
Most heavy workloads are limited by one resource. Specify around it.
CPU-bound
Rendering, compilation, encoding and simulation scale with core count and clock speed.
Memory-bound
In-memory databases, analytics and large caches need capacity and memory bandwidth.
I/O-bound
Data processing and scratch-heavy jobs benefit most from NVMe throughput.
Network-bound
Distributed jobs and data transfer depend on port speed and bandwidth.
[05] / Running at full load
Built for long jobs
Advanced workloads run hot and long. The hardware — and the way you run it — should expect that.
Single-tenant throughput
No other customer's jobs compete for your cores, memory bandwidth or drives.
Your scheduler, your rules
Run batch schedulers, CI runners or render managers configured your way.
Isolated data
Datasets and results stay on hardware dedicated to you.
Sizing with engineers
Describe the workload and we'll help pick cores, memory and storage for it.
[06] / Use cases
What runs well on Advanced Servers
Build & CI farms
Fast compilation and test pipelines for large codebases.
Simulation & research
Scientific and engineering computation that runs for hours.
Analytics & in-memory data
Data processing, analytics engines and in-memory databases.
What makes a server "advanced"?
Advanced Servers are specified for compute-heavy workloads: higher core counts, larger memory capacity and fast NVMe storage, on single-tenant bare metal.
How do I choose between Advanced and Dedicated?
If your workload regularly keeps CPUs busy, holds large datasets in memory or depends on fast storage, choose Advanced. For general web, application and service hosting, Dedicated Servers are usually the better fit.
Can I run my own job scheduler or CI runners?
Yes. With full root access you can install and configure the schedulers, runners and tools your workflow uses.
What specifications are available?
Each Advanced configuration lists its CPU, memory, NVMe storage, network and location. Configurations are published here as they're released; contact sales@theclouders.com for current options.
Can you help size a server for my workload?
Yes. Send a short description — what runs, how long jobs take, dataset sizes — to sales@theclouders.com and an engineer will recommend a configuration.
Advanced Servers
Have a workload that maxes out every core?
Describe the job — runtime, dataset size, bottleneck — and we'll spec an advanced configuration for it.
