DataPacket
High-performance bare metal servers with 290+ Tbps global network and built-in DDoS protection
What makes DataPacket different
DataPacket specializes in high-performance bare metal infrastructure optimized for bandwidth-intensive applications. Their key differentiator is a massive 290+ Tbps capacity private global backbone that connects 67 data centers worldwide. Unlike traditional cloud providers, they focus exclusively on dedicated servers rather than virtualized resources, ensuring consistent performance for demanding workloads.
The company targets enterprises with high bandwidth requirements like video streaming platforms, gaming companies, and VPN providers. They maintain stock of 2,500+ ready-to-deploy servers with same-day delivery, combining the performance of bare metal with the availability expectations of public clouds. Built-in DDoS protection and 24/7 support from actual engineers (not chatbots) complete their premium service approach.
Pricing model
DataPacket uses a mixed pricing model with both monthly and custom enterprise pricing. Their CPU server configurator allows real-time pricing based on hardware specifications, while GPU servers have separate pricing tiers optimized for AI workloads. IP transit services are quoted based on bandwidth requirements and commitment levels.
The transparent pricing approach includes all essential services like DDoS protection, network connectivity, and support without hidden fees. Enterprise customers receive dedicated account managers and custom pricing based on scale and requirements.
When it fits
• High-bandwidth applications requiring consistent bare metal performance • Video streaming platforms serving thousands of concurrent viewers • Gaming companies needing low-latency global infrastructure • VPN providers requiring extensive geographic coverage • AI/ML workloads benefiting from dedicated GPU resources • Content delivery networks with heavy traffic demands
When it doesn’t
DataPacket isn’t suitable for small-scale applications or those requiring traditional cloud services like managed databases, serverless functions, or auto-scaling virtualized infrastructure. Organizations needing rapid elastic scaling would be better served by hyperscale providers.
Inclusion criteria
DataPacket meets all three inclusion criteria: transparent pricing through their server configurator, self-service signup capabilities, and a public Service Level Agreement available on their website at datapacket.com/sla.
