Why choose an Intel dedicated server?

Intel Xeon processors have powered the majority of enterprise datacenters for 20 years. Their compatibility with VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, and legacy OSes is unbeatable. They also benefit from the AVX-512 instruction set for certain scientific computations and Intel QAT for encryption/compression workloads.

For virtualisation, enterprise software RAID, and applications with Intel-certified compatibility, it's the safe choice.

Which Intel server should you pick?

KS-1, KS-3, KS-4 — Intel Atom and Core i3/i5 for the entry level (light web hosting).
KS-5, KS-6, KS-7 — Core i5/i7 for slightly more ambitious configurations (50,000+ visits/month).
SYS-1, SYS-2, SYS-3 — Xeon Scalable for ESXi virtualisation and small clusters.
SYS-4, SYS-5, SYS-STOR — multi-core Xeon Gold for SaaS, storage and production clusters.

Answers to your questions:
Intel or AMD for ESXi?

Both are supported by VMware ESXi. Intel keeps a slight edge in driver maturity (VT-d, SR-IOV, PCIe passthrough) — but AMD EPYC has been certified for a long time and is perfectly viable for modern ESXi farms.

Is AVX-512 useful?

Useful if your workloads use SIMD: scientific computing, video encoding, some TLS proxies, or CPU-side machine learning. For classic web hosting, the impact is marginal.

Do Xeon CPUs have ECC memory?

Yes, every Xeon supports ECC memory — essential in production for reliable in-memory data.

Are Anti-DDoS and IP included?

Yes, on every Intel server: Anti-DDoS always on, 1 IPv4 + 1 /64 IPv6 included, full root access.
