UK-focused hosting and infrastructure

UK dedicated server infrastructure

Bare-metal systems configured for sustained, specialised and data-intensive workloads.

BLCS Global can quote standard, customised, high-performance, high-storage, high-bandwidth and GPU-accelerated dedicated servers. Every proposal confirms the processor, memory, drive layout, RAID, public and private networking, traffic model, operating system, remote management and recovery design.

01

Compute-led systems

High-clock, high-core, single-socket and dual-socket options across Intel Xeon, AMD Ryzen, AMD EPYC and Ampere ARM platforms.

02

Storage and network builds

NVMe, enterprise SSD and high-capacity HDD layouts with software or hardware RAID, high-speed public ports and private interconnects.

03

GPU acceleration

Single- and multi-GPU systems for artificial intelligence, inference, rendering, transcoding, virtual desktops, analytics and scientific computing.

Dedicated server configuration range

A complete physical specification, not merely a processor name.

Dedicated hardware changes with stock, location and component generation. The following range describes the configurations that may be quoted; the exact model, delivery time and equivalent alternatives are confirmed in writing before an order is accepted.

PROCESSORS

High frequency through high core density

  • Intel Xeon E-series and Xeon Scalable platforms
  • AMD Ryzen systems for high clock-speed workloads
  • AMD EPYC single- and dual-socket platforms
  • Ampere Altra ARM with 32 to 128 cores per processor
  • Selected dual-socket ARM platforms scaling to 256 CPU cores
  • High-performance x86 builds with up to 64 CPU cores
  • Specialist multi-GPU platforms with up to 192 AMD EPYC cores
MEMORY

ECC memory for production workloads

  • Common starting points from 32 GB and 64 GB
  • 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB configurations
  • 1 TB and larger memory platforms where supported
  • Selected dense-compute platforms supporting multi-terabyte memory
  • Module population reviewed against CPU memory channels
  • Large-memory builds subject to chassis and regional stock
STORAGE

Performance, capacity or a mixed tier

  • High-capacity HDD for archives, backup and datasets
  • Mixed NVMe, SSD and HDD designs where supported
  • Storage-server capacity up to 288 TB in one system
  • Hot-swap drive options on suitable chassis
RAID

Software or hardware data protection

  • Software RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 on supported Linux builds
  • Hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 where available
  • Usable capacity calculated after RAID overhead
  • Controller cache and battery protection where relevant
  • RAID improves resilience but never replaces backup

Public and private networking

Connectivity designed around transfer patterns, resilience and scale.

The required port speed and billing model should be selected from measured traffic, burst behaviour and future growth—not from the largest headline number.

PUBLIC PORTS

1, 10, 25, 40 or 100 Gbps

Selected dedicated and high-bandwidth systems can use network interfaces from standard 1 Gbps through to 100 Gbps, subject to server, rack, facility and network availability.

TRAFFIC ALLOWANCE

Measured data transfer

A monthly transfer allowance suits predictable usage. Multi-server environments may also be assessed for traffic aggregation where the service design supports it.

95TH PERCENTILE

Bursts without sizing for the peak

95th-percentile billing can support workloads with occasional bursts. Options may be available on 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps and 25 Gbps commitments.

UNMETERED

Committed port capacity

Unmetered options may be available from 100 Mbps through multi-gigabit services. Selected high-bandwidth systems can support 25, 40 or 100 Gbps unmetered designs.

PRIVATE NETWORK

1, 10 and 25 Gbps per server

Private layer-2 connectivity can link servers and compatible services without using public bandwidth. Redundant 10 Gbps and selected 25 Gbps server connections can be quoted in supported facilities.

DEDICATED RACKS

Redundant internal fabric

Rack-level private designs may use dual 10, 40 or 100 Gbps uplinks, delivering 1, 10 or 25 Gbps per connected server according to the selected architecture.

Private network detail

Build multi-server environments without exposing every component publicly.

A dedicated private network can separate database, storage, application, management and backup traffic from the public interface. Suitable configurations can support full layer-2 connectivity, QinQ, jumbo frames with a 9,000-byte MTU, DHCP with a default private subnet and larger private address spaces by request.

  • Private traffic between connected services is not counted as public transfer
  • Public-facing systems can be separated from backend servers
  • Redundant bonded links can be designed for suitable dedicated racks
  • Floating IP addressing can support controlled service failover
  • Architecture must still include application failover and data replication
  • Exact private-network capability is confirmed for the selected facility

GPU and accelerated compute

From efficient inference to large-model training and high-performance computing.

GPU inventory changes quickly. Each accelerated system is quoted against the GPU model, quantity, interconnect, CPU, memory, local storage, network and delivery location.

AI & HPC

High-end accelerator choices

  • NVIDIA H100 NVL for large language models and AI training
  • NVIDIA H200 NVL with 141 GB HBM3e for larger models and HPC

  • Specialist platforms with up to 192 AMD EPYC CPU cores

Security, addressing and remote operations

Physical isolation supported by controlled administration.

IP ADDRESSING

IPv4, IPv6 and floating services

Public addressing is quoted around the legitimate technical requirement. Larger allocations may require justification, while floating addresses can support selected failover designs.

DDOS

Standard through specialist mitigation

Standard network-level protection can be complemented by enhanced, customised or always-on mitigation for qualifying services and dedicated environments.

REMOTE CONSOLE

IPMI, iDRAC or iLO-style access

Suitable hardware supports remote console access, power control, virtual media and hardware-health information for recovery and administration.

INSTALLATION

Standard images or controlled custom builds

Supported systems can be installed through approved images, rescue environments, remote media or customer-controlled PXE workflows where available.

AUTOMATION

Portal and API operations

Server details, reinstallation jobs, power actions, credentials, network information and usage data can be managed through supported control interfaces and APIs.

BACKUP

Recovery outside the server

Off-server backup, retention, restore testing and disaster-recovery design are quoted separately from local disks and RAID.

Operating system and platform choices

Delivered as bare metal, a virtualisation host or part of a private environment.

Supported deployments can include Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, FreeBSD, Windows Server and approved custom images. Servers may be supplied as straightforward bare metal or prepared for platforms such as Proxmox VE, VMware, Hyper-V, container workloads and Kubernetes worker roles.

  • Standard or customised hardware delivery
  • Root or administrator access where appropriate
  • Managed, self-managed and co-managed responsibility models
  • Control-panel and Windows licensing quoted separately
  • Private network, firewall and backup requirements documented

Dedicated server questions

Important details before hardware is reserved.

Stock, datacentre, network and delivery terms are confirmed in writing.

Are all listed configurations available in the United Kingdom?

No provider can guarantee every processor, GPU, chassis and network option in every facility. BLCS Global confirms the exact location, stock, delivery estimate and technically equivalent alternatives before accepting an order.

Can a server combine NVMe and large HDD capacity?

Yes on suitable chassis. A mixed design can keep active databases or indexes on NVMe while placing archives, media, datasets or backup data on high-capacity disks.

Does RAID remove the need for backups?

No. RAID can improve availability after a drive failure, but it does not protect against deletion, corruption, ransomware, software failure or loss of the complete server.

Can BLCS Global design a private multi-server environment?

Yes. Compute, database, storage, backup and management systems can be designed around a private network rather than treated as isolated servers.

Can bandwidth be changed after deployment?

Many services can be upgraded, but the available port, billing model and delivery time depend on the network interface, rack and facility. It is better to disclose realistic peak and sustained usage during quotation.

How quickly can a dedicated server be delivered?

In-stock standard systems can be provisioned more quickly than customised memory, storage, GPU, high-bandwidth or private-rack designs. The quotation states the expected delivery window.
