AMD sTR5 Dedicated Server

sTR5 servers are based on the latest AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000 generation with sTR5 socket. They offer an extremely high number of cores, high clock frequencies, and an enormous number of PCIe 5.0 lanes—ideal for computationally intensive workloads and virtualization.

The main advantages of using AMD ThreadRipper CPUs in servers:

• Enormous number of cores and threads → Up to 96 cores / 192 threads (Threadripper PRO 9995WX)
• High clock frequencies → Higher base clocks and boost frequencies than classic server CPUs
• Large PCIe 5.0 connection → Up to 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes
• Support for large amounts of RAM
• Workstation + server in one
• Cost efficiency → Very high performance per dollar

Yes, all AMD ThreadRipper dedicated servers offered have redundant power supply units (RPSUs). These ensure maximum reliability in the power supply. If one power supply fails, the second takes over without interruption—ideal for productive or business-critical workloads.

Yes, to ensure a high degree of redundancy, we provide at least 2x 1 Gigabit/s network connections with each server. In addition, the management console is also dedicatedly wired. The respective network ports are terminated on different switches so that they can be used as active-passive bonds or as LACP. This ensures protection against the failure of a single switch and maintenance tolerance on the network side.

Yes, the upgrade function to 10 Gigabit/s is available as an option during the ordering process. Here too, redundancy is always provided by two 10 G ports. Like our 1 Gigabit/s ports, these can be configured as active-passive bonds or as LACP.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer some extensions as standard via our ordering process. However, these can easily be implemented on request via our support team.

• Multiple high-end GPUs (e.g., NVIDIA H100, RTX 6000 Ada)
• NVMe SSDs with PCIe 5.0 for maximum I/O performance
• 40/100 Gbit/s network adapters
• Hardware RAID controllers for NVMe / SATA / SAS SSDs

Yes – all servers have remote management (IPMI, KVM over IP). This allows BIOS access, hardware monitoring, reboots, or installations to be performed outside of the operating system – ideal for system administrators. The IPMI console is also protected by a KVMM proxy and is therefore not permanently available via the Internet. Our server management provides the temporary proxy for direct access to the IPMI.

The servers are delivered in an unmanaged model – you receive full root access.

Optionally, we offer managed services, where we take care of maintenance, monitoring, patching, and security.

Delivery usually takes place within 1-3 business days, provided that the respective system is not available from stock. It should be noted that AMD Ryzen ThreadRipper servers are always delivered with brand-new hardware.

Yes, basic protection against DDoS attacks (Layer 3/4) is included as standard and can be selected when ordering. For particularly vulnerable applications (e.g., game servers, APIs), advanced DDoS filters or Geo-IP blocking can be added. These features are then available from our Silver/Gold DDoS Protection packages onwards.

The servers are located in a highly certified data center in Frankfurt am Main, one of Europe's most important Internet hubs. The infrastructure meets the highest requirements:

• Location in Germany (GDPR-compliant)
• Certifications, e.g., ISO 27001, EN 50600, Tier III or higher
• Redundant power and network connection
• 24/7 access control, video surveillance, fire protection systems

Theoretically, sTR5 CPUs support up to 2 TB of RAM. However, this is only possible with the latest version – DDR5-RDIMM-3DS. Unfortunately, these RAM modules are currently difficult to find on the market. Normal DDR5 ECC registered RAM is supported by the server motherboard with up to 96 GB per module, so we are initially starting our offerings with up to 768 GB of DDR5 ECC registered RAM.

• WX models (e.g., 9995WX, 9985WX, 9965WX) are designed for workstations/servers with 8-channel memory and full ECC support.
• X models (e.g., 9980X) are aimed at high-end desktops (HEDT), with 4-channel memory and fewer PCIe lanes, but at a lower price point.
