The best performance for online gaming
The Game dedicated server range emphasises performance for both video game designers and companies who host streaming platforms.
Based on a third-generation AMD Ryzen platform, our servers are designed to offer users a lag-free gaming experience. Gamers can play their favourite online games without any limits in terms of performance and stability. Our anti-DDoS protection system is optimised to adapt to the very latest video games.
AMD Ryzen processors, based on ZEN 2 architecture, offer the best performance on the market. They are specially designed to manage parallel tasks, image and video processing, and online multi-player game hosting.
The advantages of a Game server
Anti-DDoS Game
The Anti-DDoS Game solution, included with all of our Game dedicated servers, is the most efficient and robust on the market. Its purpose is to avoid any downtime for your services. Unlike standard solutions, it is adapted to UDP traffic (used for video, audio and video games), with ingress and egress traffic reviewed. Game-specific profiles can also be applied, to further optimise the protection. In the event of a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, players will not notice a thing.
The ultimate gaming experience
Our Game servers have up to 1Gbit/s bandwidth, to process traffic without compromising service availability. With datacentres based across the globe, you can rent servers closest to where your gamers are based, for the lowest latency possible. It is a perfect solution for professional resellers and publishers, with optimal performance at an affordable price.
Raw power for gaming
The latest generation of AMD Ryzen processors, based on ZEN 2 architecture, offers significant architectural changes that are reflected through optimal performance. At OVHcloud, you can harness the full power of these processors, with water-cooling to ensure constant optimal performance. And with this 3rd generation of Ryzen processors, you get up to 30% higher performance compared to previous generations.
