200Gbps Dedicated Servers — The Dual EPYC 9754 Behind the Port
A 200Gbps port is 25 GB/s of payload crossing the bus. One build is offered at this tier: the Dual EPYC 9754, with 256 cores, 1TB of DDR5 and a 24-bay NVMe chassis to source it and store it at the same time.
X-ZoneServers 200 Gbps dedicated servers start at €13439 per month for a guaranteed 200 Gbps port — 1 bare-metal configurations with up to 64.8 PB of monthly transfer in 11 countries across the EU and US. The port is effectively unmetered: hold the full committed rate around the clock, with no overage charges and no fair-use throttling inside your tier.

01Overview
A network port is the cheapest part of this configuration. The expensive part is everything standing behind it. Payload has to come off NVMe, cross the PCIe root complex, land in memory and leave again through the network card, and each of those hops is a budget that can run out long before the port does. That is why the line-up on this page is one machine long instead of eight. The Dual EPYC 9754 at €13439 is the only build we offer at this port: dual-socket EPYC with the PCIe lanes and DDR5 memory channels to keep a 200Gbps port fed while the same silicon is also driving a full NVMe backplane, and 256 cores for the work in between. Everything else in the catalogue is sold at 100Gbps or below.
02Capacity
Line Rate, in Payload Terms
At full utilisation the port passes 25000 MB/s. Sustain that across a 30-day month and 64.8 PB has left the chassis, which is a figure worth holding against your real egress before you shop at this level. In viewer terms it is 40000 concurrent 1080p streams at 5 Mbps, or 8000 concurrent 4K streams at 25 Mbps. A 1 TB dataset clears the port in 40 seconds. That last number is the one that reframes the whole build: at forty seconds a terabyte, the elapsed time of a transfer is decided by how many devices you can read from in parallel and how quickly memory can stage the result, not by the network. The port stops being the constraint, and the machine takes over as the constraint instead.

Figures use decimal units (1 Gbps = 125 MB/s) across a 30-day month, at 5 Mbps per 1080p stream and 25 Mbps per 4K stream. They describe what the port can carry, not a guarantee of application throughput: disk, CPU and the far end all apply their own limits.
03Configurations
1 configurations at 200Gbps
The configuration is dual-socket EPYC behind a 24-bay NVMe backplane, and that bay count is the visible end of the lane budget rather than a storage boast. Fill all twenty-four bays, then add a card fast enough for this tier, and you are drawing on the full lane budget of a dual-socket EPYC platform. The Xeon E5 platforms stop at 20Gbps, the Gold 6148 goes no further than 100Gbps, and the 10-bay EPYC 9254 builds and the Dual EPYC 9554 stop at 50Gbps. The 9754 runs 256 cores at 2.3GHz on DDR5-4800 across two sockets, so it trades clock for width. Storage capacity, bandwidth tier and operating system are configurable, and anything outside the standard build is quoted on request.

04Use cases
What a 200Gbps server is for
Erasure-Coded Object Storage
Pools where a single read is fanned across the whole drive set. Storage and the network card draw on the same root complex, so the platform needs lanes held in reserve rather than lanes exactly counted.
In-Memory Analytics and Cache Tiers
Column stores, feature stores and hot caches that keep the working set resident in DDR5. Memory bandwidth answers the port directly here, so the full terabyte of RAM is standard here, not an option.
Streaming Origin and Packaging
Origin nodes that package, encrypt and push in the same pass. The CPU touches every byte on the way out, so cores and memory channels are spent alongside the port rather than after it.
Estate-Wide Backup and Replication
A landing zone for entire fleets checking in at once. Ingest is a write path, which puts the NVMe controllers and the inbound port inside the same PCIe budget at the same moment.
05Pricing
What the Premium per Gigabit Buys
At entry the port works out at €67.19 per Gbps, against €44.99 per Gbps one tier down. That premium is not paid to the network. It is paid to the class of machine that can keep the network busy, because doubling the port means doubling the platform underneath it, and at this tier one chassis is offered for the job: 256 cores and 1TB of DDR5 for €13439 a month. Set against that total, the real question is not whether the machine is large enough. It is whether your workload wants 256 patient cores at all, and whether the full terabyte of memory will actually be resident with data or simply sit there. If it wants fewer, faster cores, the Dual EPYC 9554 at 50Gbps or the 100Gbps tier may fit better.

08Questions
200Gbps dedicated server questions
Why is only one server offered at 200Gbps?
Because the catalogue pairs this port with one build: the Dual EPYC 9754, with 256 cores and 1TB of DDR5 behind it. The test is not whether a network card physically fits. It is whether the machine still has PCIe lanes, memory channels and cores to spare once the drive bays are populated and the port is busy. The Dual EPYC 9554 is sold up to 50Gbps, the Gold 6148 up to 100Gbps and the Xeon E5 line up to 20Gbps.
What does the PCIe lane budget have to do with the number of NVMe bays?
Every NVMe drive draws lanes directly from the CPU, and so does a card of this speed. On a platform with a modest lane count you can have deep storage or a very fast port, but not both at full stretch at the same time. Dual EPYC gives enough headroom to populate the full backplane and still leave the network card an uncontended path, which is the entire reason this tier is restricted to that platform.
Should I take the 9754 at 200Gbps or a 9554 at a lower tier?
Choose by thread behaviour and by port. The 9554 clocks higher, so request-latency work, single-threaded critical paths and per-core licensing all favour it, but it is sold only up to 50Gbps. The 9754 doubles the thread count and the memory ceiling, which suits container fleets, virtual machines and parallel batch work that scales sideways inside one box, and it is the only EPYC build offered at 100Gbps and the only build at 200Gbps.
Does the memory subsystem matter as much as the lane count?
It matters just as much, and it is part of why the machine here is dual-socket. Payload rarely travels straight from drive to wire. It is buffered, checksummed and often encrypted, and every one of those passes crosses memory. A platform with too few DDR5 channels turns the memory controller into the choke point while the port and the drives both sit half idle.
What kind of operation needs 64.8 PB in a month?
Very few, and that is rather the point of quoting the figure. The realistic tenants are regional caching and streaming origins, research groups shifting instrument data between sites, backup providers absorbing a whole customer estate overnight, and platforms replicating object storage across data centres. Most of them run well under the ceiling and buy the tier for the peaks, not for the average.
