// customer reviews
Trusted in Production
Real reviews from Google, HostAdvice, and Cryptwerk.
- 25Gbps Bare Metal
Port speeds on cloud were capped and shady. With RS I actually get the 25Gbps they say. No throttle bs.
- Validators
Set up multiple Solana + Avalanche validators through them. Hardware was clean, latency was low (especially in Europe), and uptime’s been 100% so far.
- Full Root Access
As a sysadmin, I care more about control than flashy dashboards. RedSwitches gives me root access, IPMI, and actual hardware specs I can configure. Good for serious users.
- Cloud Exit
RedSwitches gave us full control over our infrastructure without the vendor lock-in we kept running into with cloud hosts. Customizable builds, fast provisioning, and actual humans handling support tickets. It’s refreshing.
- 99.99% Uptime
My website works smoothly, thanks to their 99.99% uptime guarantee. The support team is another plus for me, as I always have been able to get help whenever I needed it in just 5 minutes on average.
- ETH & BTC Nodes
Deployed a few Ethereum and Bitcoin nodes here. Uptime’s been flawless, and sync speed was great thanks to their storage config.
- Game Servers
Been using RedSwitches for 6 months now for my small game server biz. Uptime has been great, and I haven’t run into any hidden charges.
- AI Storage
Using the storage servers to archive logs and snapshots from our AI pipeline… I also love that I could pick the datacenter closest to our team.
- Support
Support is super responsive. I had an issue with an OS reinstall and they jumped in within 10 minutes… Transparent pricing = win.
- Instant Delivery
They have an instant delivery section… they delivered it within 120 mins with all my requirements fulfilled (OS/RAID/Software configured etc).
- Global Locations
With servers available in numerous strategic locations, RedSwitches offers exceptional versatility and performance for our company’s diverse hosting needs. Plus, their no setup fee policy really helps keep costs down.
- Bare Metal Cloud
The dedicated server I got from RedSwitches has been incredibly reliable and fast. Their bare metal cloud solutions offer excellent performance, and the cloud VPS options are perfect for scaling. Highly recommended!
- Easy Onboarding
Absolutely delighted with RedSwitches! The setup was quick and free, and the fact that they accept all major payment gateways made the process seamless.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4, answered by the engineers who run the hardware.
Can I run multiple high-memory applications simultaneously with the E5-2680 v4?
Yes, the E5-2680 v4 supports large memory pools (up to 1.5 TB with the right motherboard) and handles multiple high-memory applications like databases, in-memory caches, or VMs without performance degradation, thanks to its 14 cores and 28 threads.
Is the Xeon E5-2680 v4 ideal for bare metal hypervisors like VMware ESXi or Proxmox?
Absolutely. With support for Intel VT-x, VT-d, and EPT (Extended Page Tables), this CPU performs very well with Type 1 hypervisors. It can handle multiple virtual machines or containers with minimal overhead and high stability.
Does this CPU support ECC Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) for server-grade memory stability?
Yes, the E5-2680 v4 supports ECC RDIMMs and LRDIMMs, which are essential for maintaining memory integrity in production environments. This ensures maximum uptime and protection against data corruption.
Can I upgrade this server to a dual-CPU configuration in the future?
Yes. The E5-2680 v4 is part of Intel’s scalable platform and supports dual-socket motherboards. You can deploy one CPU now and scale later by adding a second for 28 total cores and 56 threads, provided the chassis and board support it.
What performance can I expect under sustained CPU-intensive workloads like video rendering or parallel builds?
This processor is built for sustained performance. While its base clock is 2.4 GHz, it maintains solid multithreaded throughput over long durations due to its high thermal design power (120W) and turbo boost capabilities up to 3.3 GHz, making it ideal for continuous rendering, compiling, or encoding.
