Ampere Altra Family
Deploy Cloud-Native ARM architecture. Experience predictable performance, linear scalability, and industry-leading energy efficiency with GTZ Host.
Available Configurations
The Altra family offers versatile core counts to match your specific workload requirements.
32
Core Variant
Best For: Entry Cloud Native
The 32-core configuration offers an excellent entry point for moving workloads to ARM. It provides substantial parallel processing power for web servers and development environments without excessive power draw.
Web Servers
Load Balancers
DevOps
64
Core Variant
Best For: High Traffic & Databases
Balanced for performance and efficiency. The 64-core model is the sweet spot for in-memory databases like Redis and Memcached, ensuring low latency and consistent throughput for high-traffic applications.
Redis/Memcached
App Servers
Container Nodes
80
Core Variant
Best For: Analytics & Encoding
The top tier of the standard Altra family. With 80 single-threaded cores, this configuration eliminates resource contention, making it ideal for video encoding pipelines, batch processing, and CI/CD builds.
Video Encoding
CI/CD Pipelines
Batch Processing
Engineered for Cloud Native
The Ampere Altra Family provides the perfect balance of cores and speed.
Web Serving
High throughput for NGINX, Apache, and load balancers.
In-Memory DB
Consistent low latency for Redis and Memcached.
Media Encoding
Linear scaling for H.264/H.265 transcoding tasks.
CI/CD
Faster build times with parallel execution pipelines.
The Single-Thread Advantage
Predictable Performance
Unlike x86 processors that use SMT (Hyper-Threading), Ampere Altra uses single-threaded cores. This eliminates the "Noisy Neighbor" problem, ensuring that 100% of the core's performance is yours, 100% of the time.
Sustainable Computing
Ampere Altra delivers industry-leading performance per watt. By running your workloads on GTZ Host Ampere servers, you reduce energy consumption and cooling costs without sacrificing speed.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do Ampere servers reduce my hosting costs?
Ampere Altra processors provide industry-leading performance-per-watt. Because they consume significantly less power and require less cooling than traditional legacy x86 servers, we can pass those savings directly to you. You get more cores and better performance for a lower monthly price compared to equivalent Intel or AMD configurations.
-
Which Operating Systems are supported on GTZ Host Ampere servers?
We support all major ARM64-compatible Linux distributions. This includes standard versions of Ubuntu (20.04/22.04 LTS), Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and CentOS Stream. Also, FreeBSD and other custom kernels that support AArch64 architecture can be deployed upon request.
-
What does "Predictable Performance" mean for my applications?
Legacy processors use "Hyper-Threading," where two threads share one physical core, leading to potential slowdowns when under heavy load. Ampere Altra uses Single-Threaded Physical Cores. This means 1 vCPU equals 1 physical core entirely dedicated to your task, eliminating the "noisy neighbor" effect and ensuring 100% stable performance 24/7.
-
Are these servers suitable for Game Hosting or Transcoding?
Absolutely. The high core density makes them perfect for video transcoding (H.264/H.265) and streaming media servers. For game hosting, they excel at running multiple game server instances (like Minecraft Bedrock, Rust, or CS:GO) simultaneously due to the massive number of available physical cores.
