We currently have 16Gbps total bandwidth for our update servers and that’s not nearly enough for major releases anymore. Rather than further scaling up our current 2Gbps unmetered VPS approach, we’re currently looking into other options. OVH lacks cost effective 10Gbps servers.

We’ve made 2 attempts at talking to OVH about offering us something different than their publicly available products which hasn’t gone anywhere. We likely need to move this part of our infrastructure to 1 or 2 other providers with unmetered 10Gbps dedicated servers like Tempest.

For an idea of what we’re looking for, see the 10Gbps options at https://tempest.net/dedicated-servers with 64GB memory. They’re also willing to give us a significant discount, which other major providers haven’t offered. Tempest is currently IPv4-only though, which isn’t ideal for our usage.
