Vultr Debuts Optimized Cloud Compute Portfolio

Speaking of AMD, independent cloud provider Vultr (which will take part in this session at the upcoming Channel Partners Conference & Expo), has introduced its new Optimized Cloud Compute line.

For the first time ever, Vultr is using AMD technology to power the new services. The company says that, due to “exceptional performance,” “these VMs are now are default and recommended option for most users.”

The Optimized Cloud Compute portfolio contains three product lines:

•        Optimized Cloud Compute — Built for high-traffic websites, transcoding, CI/CD and more.

•        Cloud Compute — Designed for “bursty” applications such as gaming servers, VPNs and low-traffic websites.

•        Bare Metal — For intense cloud workloads.

Vultr ranks among the small group of alternative cloud providers attracting managed services and other channel partners looking for options to the hyperscalers. The issue isn’t so much about replacing the AWS’s and Azures of the world — that’s not really realistic. It’s more about having better failover strategies and more optimal locations for specific workloads. Channel Partners Conference & Expo attendees are going to learn a lot more about this on April 11.
