*📜 Plan description

Light Workloads streaming configuration is built around a single Intel Xeon E-2276G processor with 6 cores clocked at 3.8GHz and turbo speeds up to 4.9GHz, paired with 128GB DDR4 RAM and a fast 1TB NVMe drive. It is intended as the entry point into phoenixNAP streaming servers for smaller live events, community game servers, starter video on demand libraries or mixed workloads that combine a few media channels with web sites and application back ends on the same machine. The combination of high clock speed cores and generous memory headroom allows several encoding or transcoding processes to run in parallel while still leaving room for web servers, databases and monitoring tools. Storage is provisioned on enterprise NVMe so media libraries, thumbnails and temporary transcoding files can be read and written quickly without becoming a bottleneck, and you can restructure the disk layout or add additional drives as projects grow. Network connectivity uses a 1Gbps interface covering both public and private traffic with 15TB of monthly data transfer included, protected by 20Gbps of always on DDoS mitigation to help keep streams accessible if attacks occur. Servers are delivered as self managed bare metal, giving you full control over operating system choice, middleware and streaming software, and billing follows a simple monthly recurring model with no setup fees and payments accepted by credit card, PayPal or wire transfer, supported by 24x7 email, ticket, phone and live chat assistance.

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.
