Dedicated configurations with a 40 Gbps port for bandwidth-intensive applications.

## Starting configuration

## Service capabilities
### A high-capacity server port
Each Transit 40 plan lists a 40 Gbps port. Treat that specification as the network interface choice when designing the complete application pipeline.

### Dedicated compute beside the network
Choose between the listed CPU variants, then size memory and storage to keep up with the work performed around the data.

### A configurable disk layout
Review the primary and additional-drive options for content, caches or working datasets. Storage performance matters when serving large amounts of data.

### Addresses and operating environment
Select additional IPv4 allocation and the listed system or software choices. Keep application, public network and administration requirements distinct.

## Example workloads
### Content distribution origins
Provide a Swiss origin environment for authorised downloads or media, with storage and application capacity sized alongside the port.

### Large data-transfer workflows
Move your own project datasets or exports through a dedicated environment with appropriate receiver capacity.

### Network-heavy application services
Evaluate a high-port-speed server when measurement shows that data movement is a limiting factor in the application.

## A closer look
### A fast port needs a capable pipeline
Network port speed is one component of end-to-end throughput. Disk reads, protocol overhead, CPU processing, remote networks and the receiving application can all reduce the transfer rate. Design and test the full pipeline instead of treating the port label as a guaranteed download speed.

### Compare the compute variants as well
Transit 40 keeps the port specification consistent while offering different CPU foundations. Choose the hardware around any encryption, compression, media handling or request processing your application performs. Add memory and storage for the active working set rather than increasing them without a purpose.

### Keep data movement accountable
High network capacity is intended for legitimate applications and authorised content distribution. Use access controls, monitor your application and document which data may be served. A Swiss offshore location does not make network abuse acceptable or replace a response plan for compromised software.

### Specify the connection agreement around the port
Transit 40 lists bare-metal hardware, unmetered traffic and five IPs in a /29 allocation. Confirm IPv6, network protection and secure remote-console access with the operator. Dedicated bandwidth, burst handling and dashboard monitoring require documented service terms. Plan application measurements and management access alongside those network questions before delivery.

## 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
### Will every connection reach the listed port speed?
No end-to-end transfer rate is guaranteed by a port specification. The remote connection, route, storage, software and protocol also determine actual throughput.

### How do the Transit 40 variants differ?
Compare the CPU foundation and full hardware specification. The listed network port is the same class, but compute requirements can favour one variant.

### Does unmetered traffic mean every use is permitted?
No. It describes the listed traffic model. Acceptable-use requirements and the need for authorised content and activity still apply.

### Can extra drives help a distribution service?
They can provide capacity for content or working data. The effect on throughput depends on the storage layout and application, so benchmark a representative workload.

### Should I select Transit 40 just for a normal website?
Compare your measured traffic and application needs first. A smaller hosting or compute configuration may fit; a large port does not correct inefficient application code.

### Are the port's bandwidth and burst behaviour guaranteed?
The plan lists a 40 Gbps port and unmetered traffic. Confirm dedicated-capacity terms, fair-use conditions and any burst policy separately; there is no automatic permission to exceed the listed interface.

### What is included for IP addressing?
The plan table lists five IPs in a /29 allocation. Additional blocks are optional. Confirm any IPv6 subnet and usable allocation with the operator.

### Will a dashboard show live traffic statistics?
Agree traffic telemetry, metric retention and monitoring access for the delivered service. Include the application measurements you need in the technical brief.

### What should I confirm about protection and recovery?
Agree baseline network protection, root or administrator credentials and secured IPMI or equivalent access. A high-bandwidth plan does not establish those operational controls on its own.
