*📜 Plan description

Medium Workloads streaming configuration upgrades the platform to an Intel Xeon E-2288G with 6 cores at 3.7GHz and turbo up to 5.0GHz while keeping 128GB DDR4 RAM but increasing storage to 2x1TB NVMe. This profile is designed for higher density streaming scenarios such as multiple simultaneous HD channels, higher bitrate video on demand catalogs or heavily modded game servers that generate more CPU and disk activity. With two NVMe drives you can keep the operating system and application stack isolated from media storage or combine them into a single high performance pool, and there is enough capacity to hold sizable libraries and local caches. The E-2288G processor also integrates Intel UHD Graphics which can be leveraged by compatible software to offload encoding and transcoding workloads to the built in GPU, improving efficiency without adding a discrete accelerator. Network connectivity increases to a 10Gbps capable interface for both public and private traffic while the plan retains 15TB of monthly data and 20Gbps of DDoS protection, better suited for projects that expect traffic bursts or multi region ingest pipelines. As with other dedicated streaming servers, this configuration is delivered as self managed bare metal that can run Linux or Windows distributions, gives full root or administrator level access to install streaming stacks, control panels or orchestration tools, and is billed monthly with no setup fee using flexible payment options and always on technical support.

Across all dedicated streaming servers, phoenixNAP focuses on delivering a workload optimized platform tuned for media delivery and video processing rather than generic shared hosting. Servers are deployed in data centers connected to a global backbone with 10Gbps capable networking and options to negotiate flexible bandwidth packages or unmetered models, helping streaming providers deal with peak traffic without unpredictable overage bills. Each configuration includes 20Gbps of free DDoS protection by default, plus access to SSD, NVMe and SATA storage so that you can choose between capacity oriented or performance oriented layouts for media libraries, caches and application data. Hardware choices such as Intel Xeon E series with integrated UHD graphics and dual Intel Xeon Scalable processors enable efficient encoding and transcoding pipelines, while FlexServers can vertically scale CPU allocations with only a reboot, letting the environment adapt to audience spikes with minimal downtime. Streaming servers can be provisioned in several global locations including Phoenix and Ashburn in the United States, Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Belgrade in Serbia and Singapore, so streams can be placed closer to end users and connected to local carriers or CDNs. phoenixNAP maintains a detailed knowledge base that covers single versus dual processor considerations, storage tuning and CDN integration patterns, and the company backs its infrastructure with a 100 percent network uptime promise, 24x7 monitoring and support teams who focus on keeping network performance consistent for demanding media workloads.

📄 Editorial Review

phoenixNAP is a global infrastructure and data center provider that grew out of the Phoenix, Arizona tech scene in 2009 and has since developed into a sizeable player in the IaaS market. The company runs more than a dozen data centers and network PoPs across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and South America, with roughly 500+ employees supporting operations worldwide. Its focus is clearly on data center-as-a-service, high-performance hardware, and security- and compliance-ready cloud platforms rather than classic low-cost shared hosting.

The core product set revolves around colocation, dedicated servers, API-driven Bare Metal Cloud, managed private cloud, and secure multi-tenant cloud environments for regulated workloads. On top of that, phoenixNAP layers Veeam-powered backup and disaster recovery services, S3-compatible object storage, a global enterprise network, and specialized offerings such as SaaS hosting and HIPAA- or PCI-ready environments. For many businesses, this mix functions as a full alternative to running their own data center or relying exclusively on hyperscale public clouds.

Colocation and data center services are a major pillar. The flagship facility in Phoenix, AZ is a large, carrier-neutral data center in a region marketed as low-risk for natural disasters, with high-density power, redundant cooling, and substantial floor space (well over 160,000 sq. ft., with further expansion underway). From there and from a European hub in Amsterdam, clients can take anything from quarter-cabinets up to private cages, use meet-me room services, interconnect with Tier 1 carriers, and plug directly into cloud on-ramps to AWS, Google Cloud and other providers.

On the server side, phoenixNAP offers classic single-tenant dedicated servers and a more modern Bare Metal Cloud platform. Dedicated servers are fully customizable bare-metal machines hosted in phoenixNAP facilities, suitable for virtualization clusters, databases, HPC, game or streaming servers, and storage-heavy workloads. There are also specialized product for database servers, virtualization servers, HPC systems, streaming and game servers, and big-memory configurations for analytics or in-memory databases. These systems sit on enterprise-grade hardware with multiple OS options (Linux and Windows) and the ability to add commercial control panels and other software licenses.

Bare Metal Cloud (BMC) is phoenixNAP’s flagship product and essentially bridges the gap between traditional dedicated servers and public cloud instances. It offers pre-configured bare-metal instances that can be spun up in minutes via web UI, CLI or API, managed as code, and billed either hourly or through discounted reservations. BMC runs on modern Intel platforms with high-throughput networking (up to tens of Gbps per server), a global spread of locations, and a generous baseline of free outbound bandwidth per server, making it attractive for bandwidth-heavy applications, CI/CD environments, containers/Kubernetes clusters, and latency-sensitive services.

For organizations that want managed virtualization instead of raw servers, phoenixNAP runs a Managed Private Cloud built on VMware technologies and a Data Security Cloud (DSC) platform. Managed Private Cloud delivers dedicated or semi-dedicated VMware clusters with access through familiar management interfaces, while phoenixNAP takes care of the underlying hardware, hypervisor, and much of the operational work. Data Security Cloud is a multi-tenant, security-focused environment combining VMware, next-gen firewalls, micro-segmentation and a 24×7 security operations center. It is aimed at workloads that need strong isolation and regulatory alignment (PCI, HIPAA, SOC standards), and is marketed with a 100% service-level availability guarantee for the network fabric behind the platform.

The backup, disaster recovery, and object storage portfolio leans heavily on Veeam and other enterprise tools. Clients can use phoenixNAP as a target for off-site backups, run DRaaS based on VMware, Veeam or Zerto, or use Veeam Cloud Connect and Microsoft 365 backup to offload data protection duties. The S3-compatible Object Storage service provides a straightforward way to store large volumes of unstructured data with predictable, per-GB pricing and without ingress fees, so it can serve as a backup repository, archive tier, or content bucket for applications.

All of this is tied together by a global network and data center footprint. phoenixNAP operates full data centers in Phoenix and Amsterdam and network PoPs across major hubs such as Ashburn, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Frankfurt, Madrid, Sao Paulo, Singapore, Sydney, Helsinki, Warsaw, Sofia, Belgrade and others. The backbone is advertised in the multi-terabit range (9+ Tbps), spread across 5 continents, with direct connectivity to AWS, Google Cloud and other hyperscalers from the Phoenix hub. Carrier neutrality, peering at key internet exchanges, and a blended mix of Tier 1 providers help keep performance and redundancy high.

phoenixNAP is an infrastructure partner than a classic hosting provider. The strength lies in flexible hardware, security and compliance tooling, and a sophisticated global network, which together suit SaaS vendors, enterprises, MSPs and technically confident teams far more than casual website owners looking for a one-click WordPress plan.
