Metal Premium APP+ (€398/mo) — AMD Ryzen 7950X (5.7GHz, 16 Cores) / 128GB ECC DDR5 / 1.92TB NVMe SSD × 2 / 10Gbps × 2 / Unlimited Traffic

Metal Premium APP++ (€598/mo) — AMD Ryzen 9950X (5.7GHz, 16 Cores) / 128GB ECC DDR5 / 1.92TB NVMe SSD × 2 / 25Gbps × 2 / Unlimited Traffic

All configurations include full-throttle turbo, unlimited intra-platform communication on ERPC, zero-distance communication with the ERPC platform, and placement in premium datacenters as standard. These servers sit in the same network as Shredstream data sources and many large-scale Solana validators, making them the performance-first choice for users who will not compromise on speed.

Why Premium Dedicated Bare Metal Is Chosen by Traders

Solana Is a Globally Distributed Network — Regional Placement Determines Outcomes

Solana block production works by rotating the validator leader across the world on a short cycle. In one slot the leader may be a validator in Frankfurt, in the next Tokyo, and then New York — the geographic location of the leader is constantly changing.

For high-frequency trading and market making, how quickly your server can reach a leader that is geographically favorable to you is often the factor that decides outcomes. Securing global coverage requires placing resources across multiple regions, and each resource is most effective when its workload is concentrated during the slots in which the leader sits in its own region.

Frankfurt is the region where Solana validators are most densely clustered in Europe, making it a strategically important hub with a relatively high frequency of leader rotation. Placing Premium Dedicated Bare Metal in this cluster delivers a structural advantage for coverage during European hours.

Datacenter Selection — City Name Alone Is Not Enough

Region selection cannot stop at the city name. Even within Frankfurt, the quality of communication with the Solana network differs significantly between datacenters that host many Solana validators and those that do not. Network path quality, the number of nearby validators, and upstream connectivity all determine real-world performance.

ERPC places its infrastructure inside premium datacenters where Solana validators are densely clustered, offering bare metal that sits in the same network as Shredstream data sources and large-scale Solana validators. By avoiding multi-hop public internet routes and operating from the location physically closest to the Solana network, ERPC structurally minimizes network distance — the single biggest bottleneck in Solana performance.

Full-Throttle Configurations That Run Against Datacenter Power-Saving Incentives

The datacenter industry has a structural incentive to save on power and network bandwidth in order to improve profitability. CPU power-saving features, bandwidth caps, and resource oversubscription through shared hardware — none of these appear in datasheets, yet they produce large differences in real processing speed between servers that look identical on paper. This is particularly common in general-purpose server markets.

ERPC's Premium Dedicated Bare Metal is designed to run counter to this industry norm. CPU C-states disabled, CPU governor pinned to performance, kernel parameters optimized, network stack tuned, IRQ affinity adjusted — every layer is configured to extract the maximum performance the hardware can deliver. An environment that sustains the 5.7GHz turbo clock of Ryzen 9950X / 7950X or the 5.4GHz turbo clock of Ryzen 9600X produces clearly measurable differences in trading workloads where single-thread performance directly affects outcomes.

Maximizing customer performance is the top priority, and the cost required to deliver it is absorbed by design. This premium lineup is the concentration of that philosophy.

Zero-Distance Communication with the ERPC Platform — Co-Locating Your Own Solana RPC

One of the defining advantages of Premium Dedicated Bare Metal is its direct connection to the ERPC platform's private network. Solana RPC, Solana Geyser gRPC, Solana Shredstream (Epic Shreds), high-performance VPS, ERPC Global Storage — communication with every service on the platform happens over internal network paths, without touching the public internet.

Customers can also place their own Solana RPC nodes inside the same private network. Connecting a dedicated Solana RPC node and application servers through the internal network of the same premium datacenter reduces dependency on external RPC services and cuts latency to the theoretical minimum by shortening the communication path. For traders, the ability to fully control communication conditions between an in-house RPC and application servers expands strategic flexibility significantly.

Intra-platform communication is unlimited, and snapshot downloads also complete quickly over internal paths. As a result, the operational time required for failure recovery, version upgrades, and configuration changes is structurally reduced.

Supported by the World's No. 3 Epics DAO Validator

The Epics DAO validator, operated as the source of ERPC's SWQoS endpoint and Epic Shreds, has reached No. 3 overall worldwide among all Solana validators in the Shinobi Performance Pool, with a score of 99.93. Placing Premium Dedicated Bare Metal on the ERPC platform means sharing a private network with this world-class validator.

Improvements in validator performance flow directly into the quality of SWQoS endpoints, the delivery speed of Epic Shreds, and the response quality of Solana RPC. The moment of purchase is not the peak — the platform continues to get faster as the validator and the infrastructure continue to improve. This is a structural strength of ERPC.

DoubleZero Dedicated Fiber Network Integration

ERPC has integrated the DoubleZero dedicated fiber network across the infrastructure of all regions. By using independent high-performance fiber links that bypass the public internet, ERPC has achieved approximately 200ms P99 latency reduction in the Asia region (Tokyo and Singapore) in particular.

Premium Dedicated Bare Metal benefits from this DoubleZero integration without any additional configuration. Even in regions with high validator density such as Europe and North America, improvements accumulate in the form of better path quality and reduced jitter. For traders who distribute resources globally, full DoubleZero support across all regions is an important factor that expands placement strategy flexibility.

SLV Runs Natively — Begin Operations via AI Agents Immediately

Premium Dedicated Bare Metal is delivered as an environment where the open-source AI Agent Kit "SLV" runs natively. Through natural-language conversation with an AI agent, customers can begin Solana app development, build their own Solana RPC nodes, configure Solana Geyser gRPC, and set up Solana Shredstream.

The optimization techniques and tuning parameters derived from ERPC's production operations and research are consolidated as SLV skills inside the AI agent. Running SLV on Premium Dedicated Bare Metal is equivalent to applying ERPC's operational know-how directly to your own environment.

A Platform Continuously Chosen by Professionals Across 100+ Countries

ERPC has grown into a global platform serving professional users in more than 100 countries. Performance-focused users from North America, Europe, and Asia have gathered on ERPC, and detailed feedback from them has driven continuous mutual growth.

Following the expansion of demand for SWQoS, Epic Shreds, and shared Solana RPC / Geyser gRPC, demand for the top-tier bare metal lineup is also growing significantly.

Five Consecutive Years of WBSO Approval — AS200261 Solana-Specialized Datacenter

ELSOUL LABO has received approval under the Dutch government's WBSO R&D support program for five consecutive years since 2022. The company continues ongoing research and development into ultra-low-latency Solana RPC infrastructure and into the automation of validator placement and operational orchestration, with the results flowing directly into performance improvements on the platform.

As the culmination of this research and development, ELSOUL LABO is opening a Solana-specialized datacenter powered by its own ASN (AS200261), granted by RIPE NCC. Built on a unified hardware stack of latest-generation AMD EPYC 5th Gen, AMD Threadripper PRO 5th Gen (9975WX and similar), and NVMe 5th Gen, combined with optimized network path design enabled by the in-house ASN, this infrastructure exceeds the quality of existing premium datacenters. The datacenter is scheduled to open this month and will form the foundation for further acceleration across the entire platform, including Premium Dedicated Bare Metal. The initial allocation is already reserved; subsequent allocations will be assigned in waitlist order.
