DigitalOcean DigitalOcean High CPU Droplet VPS Servers!

New hardware or old stuff but allowed to do the (CPU) hammer time?

 

I've requested early access. Hopefully will get that e-mail soon.

 

Hi there!

Because you are participating in the Early Access program for High-CPU Droplets, we wanted to let you know there is now High-CPU availability and capacity in NYC3. They should be available to your account as a result of getting this email. These Droplets are in high demand are being utilized very quickly - we’re working hard on getting additional capacity in all datacenters as soon as possible. We’ll have more updates soon about existing regions of SFO2, TOR1 and NYC1 which are nearly constantly at full capacity.

As a reminder, High-CPU Droplets are backed by a more powerful, compute-optimized CPU; currently the Intel 2697Av4 with a clock speed of 2.60GHz. In the future, we’ll be offering more powerful CPUs. In addition, unlike Standard plans, there is no over-commitment on the underlying CPU cores associated with these plans. Below is a look at these plans:



These plans have 1.5GB of RAM per vCPU and are backed by 20GB of local SSD so you can scale them up (and down!) as need be.

If you ever have any questions, comments or concerns feel free to email me or we can schedule some time to speak over the phone / Google Hangout.

Thanks

 

Niiicee Enjoy playing with em

More or less in the same range.

What is the price tag for High CPU Droplets?
Can't find anything about pricing as it is early access by invitation.
