# Metal Zenith

> A Swiss physical platform built around dual Xeon Gold processors. Metal Zenith offers a configurable balance of memory, SSD storage and network capacity for applications ready for a dedicated server.

SwissOctet public catalogue. Currency: USD. Location: Switzerland / CH. The fixed-address crypto checkout uses a public USD rate to calculate the exact amount for the selected asset and network, with a 25-minute payment window. This browser quote is not a server-issued invoice. Transaction attribution, payment confirmation and provisioning require the operator’s backend.

A step up in dedicated infrastructure for workloads that demand substantial resources.

## Starting configuration
Starting configuration: Metal Zenith 01 (metal-zenith-01); USD 351.13 effective monthly base on the shortest available 1-month term; USD 351.13 base charge for that term. Add-ons and applicable tax are separate.

## Service capabilities
### A Xeon Gold foundation
The Zenith plans list a dual Gold 6134 platform. Compare your software's requirements against the exact server specification before choosing the range.

### Memory matched to the application
Choose the RAM allocation for databases, caching and concurrent services. Upgrade options are separate from the network variant you select.

### Several SSD positions to plan
The configurator lists primary and additional SSD options, giving you choices for application data, working space or a planned storage layout.

### A defined network configuration
Compare the listed port speed and traffic in each Zenith plan. Optional IP and bandwidth choices are displayed alongside the hardware.

## Example workloads
### Production application backends
Plan a dedicated server for a measured application workload with controlled access and a documented recovery process.

### Database and analytics stacks
Size memory and SSD capacity for your dataset and query patterns before selecting a network-focused variant.

### Consolidated service environments
Organise several compatible services on a physical foundation, with deliberate separation of access and resource use.

## A closer look
### Choose performance by requirement
A processor family name is a starting point, not an application benchmark. Compare the actual CPU platform, memory and storage with your workload. For a CPU-heavy service, test representative jobs; for a database, include memory usage and disk activity in the decision.

### Shape the storage before deploying
Zenith's drive selectors allow a larger or multi-drive configuration where listed. Decide what belongs on each volume, how it will be backed up and what a restoration requires. Extra drives can help organise a server, but copies on the same machine do not protect against every failure.

### Keep the Swiss location meaningful
The catalogue offers this family only in Switzerland, keeping the hosting destination explicit. Use the same clarity for your deployment: document which data is stored, who administers it and which public services are exposed. A no-KYC purchase path works best with careful access and data handling afterwards.

### Confirm the practical controls of a physical deployment
Zenith lists a physical server and five IPs in a /29 allocation. Agree root or administrator access and an IPMI or equivalent recovery route before delivery. Confirm IPv6, network protection, storage compatibility and the upgrade procedure for the actual machine. A port specification does not establish a dedicated-throughput commitment or delivery deadline.

## Configurations and billing
Base prices exclude separately selected add-ons. The actual configuration total, availability, delivery, licences and any applicable tax are confirmed before a real order.

## Service questions
### How does Zenith differ from Atlas?
The listed CPU platform differs, as do some available options. Compare the complete processor, memory, storage and network specifications rather than relying on the family name.

### Can I add more than one storage drive?
The Zenith configurator lists multiple additional-drive positions. Review each selected capacity and confirm the storage layout intended for the server.

### Is the faster network variant always the best choice?
Only when it fits your data-transfer requirements. A faster port does not solve CPU, memory or database limits, and the traffic model also needs review.

### Can I request a custom operating system?
A custom choice is listed where available and requires confirmation. Treat it as a configuration request rather than assuming any image can be installed automatically.

### What should I prepare before moving a production service?
Check software compatibility, create an independent backup and plan a rollback. Test the application and access on the new environment before switching real traffic.

### How does Zenith differ from a virtual server?
The catalogue specifies bare-metal hardware rather than a KVM instance. A virtualisation layer is your own deployment choice; confirm operating-system administration and hardware compatibility for the intended stack.

### Will I have an IPMI recovery console?
Confirm IPMI or equivalent management access and how it is secured. The current plan table does not establish a verified recovery-console service.

### Are IPv6 and basic network protection included?
Five IPs in a /29 allocation are listed. IPv6 availability and the protection scope must be confirmed with the operator before becoming part of the delivery agreement.

### Can I upgrade the installed hardware later?
Changes require compatibility, stock and maintenance review. Confirm any interruption or migration; the initial drive and RAM selectors do not promise live hardware upgrades.

## Relevant guides
- [A dedicated-server migration runbook that protects the data](https://swissoctet.com/insights/dedicated-server-migration-runbook/index.txt): Rehearse the move, establish a consistent data boundary and define what rollback means after the new system accepts writes.
- [Snapshots and backups: choose the failure you need to survive](https://swissoctet.com/insights/snapshots-backups-consistency/index.txt): Compare recovery points, failure boundaries and application consistency instead of assuming a snapshot and an independent backup provide the same protection.
