== 3600 dedicated server overview ==
== 3600 dedicated server ==
A '''3600 dedicated server''' is a physical machine equipped with an Intel Xeon “Cascade Lake” Gold 6246R (or comparable) CPU whose public specification sheet lists 16 cores / 32 threads and a base frequency of 3.40 GHz—hence the colloquial “3600” label. Unlike virtual private servers (VPS), the entire box is rented to one customer, giving direct control of firmware, PCIe slots, and RAM. Typical factory configurations ship with 128 GB DDR4 ECC, dual 1 TB NVMe in [[RAID 1]], and a single IPv4 (/29) subnet. Monthly list price from tier-one wholesalers (2024-05) is USD 179–229 before bandwidth and support.


== Hardware specification sheet == 
A '''3600 dedicated server''' is a physical [[bare-metal server]] powered by an Intel Xeon “Platinum 8360Y” or “Gold 6330” (36-core, 72-thread) CPU and 3 600 GB of [[NVMe]] or [[SAS]] storage.  The term is used colloquially by hosting providers to market a single-tenant machine whose headline resources are 36 cores and 3.6 TB of usable disk. It is not an official Intel model number; always verify the exact CPU SKU, disk type, and [[SLA]] before purchase.

| Storage || 2×1 TB NVMe, 4×4 TB SATA in hot-swap bays 
|-

|- 
| Chassis || 1U 19" rack, 70 cm depth, 18 kg 
|} 
Mean time between failures (MTBF) at 25 °C ambient is quoted by the OEM as 690 000 h; field data from [[Data Center Knowledge]] puts annual disk swap rate at 1.8 % for the NVMe pool and 3.1 % for SATA spinners.


== Use cases ==
== Hardware specification ==
* High-frequency game engine back-ends (tick-rate 128) where single-thread latency <4 ms is measurable. 
* MariaDB [[OLTP]] clusters that need persistent clock speeds >3 GHz for repeatable query plans. 
* [[CI/CD]] farms running 200 parallel compiler containers; 32 threads keeps make -j within cache. 
* Low-latency FX or crypto matching engines co-located at LD4, NY4, TY3; the 3.4 GHz base avoids turbo jitter.


== Cost model == 
Typical bill-of-materials advertised in 2024:
Total cost of ownership (TCO) for 36 months, colocated in Amsterdam (1 MWh = €0.18):

== Security considerations == 
Power draw under 100 % load: ≈ 350 W in 1U, ≈ 420 W in 2U with additional NVMe bays.  Monthly [[colocation]] cost for 1 kWh in Frankfurt (DE) is €0.25; expect €63–€75 power-only charges before bandwidth.
Because the tenant has root IPMI, mis-configuration risks bricking the node. Always:  
# Change the factory IPMI password; 42 % of second-hand boards still show “admin/admin” on Shodan. 
# Disable VLAN 1 on the shared L2 switch to avoid [[ARP spoofing]] from adjacent racks. 
# Flash BMC firmware to 2.48 or later; CVE-2023-23399 allows unsigned firmware upload. 
# Encrypt NVMe with LUKS; stolen drives from decommissioned servers are a known [[dark web]] attack vector.

== Firmware compatibility ==

* VMware ESXi 8.0 – requires community network driver for 10 GbE; not on HCL. 
* Proxmox VE 8 – ships with kernel 6.2; out-of-box support. 
* Windows Server 2022 – needs Intel VROC 19.5 driver for NVMe RAID. 
* [[OpenBSD]] 7.4 – no IPMI driver for Nuvoton BMC; SOL console only.


== Regulatory compliance == 
Prices are list, 36-month term, 10 GbE unmetered, Frankfurt region:
The platform can be [[PCIe]] fitted with a FIPS-140-3 level-2 [[HSM]] (e.g., Thales Luna). When hosted in EU, the NVMe pool must be covered by a [[Data Processing Agreement]] under [[GDPR]] article 28; the controller remains the tenant, not the hoster.

'''Hardware rental does not eliminate capital risk.''' Prices for DDR4 ECC could rise 30 % if Micron shifts wafer capacity to DDR5, inflating renewals. Second, 16-core SKUs are end-of-life; Intel last-ship date is 2025-03-31—spare parts may become scarce. Third, dedicated servers carry no [[SLA]] for partial outages; if one DIMM fails you may face 4 h replacement windows. Finally, regulatory changes (e.g., EU Energy Efficiency Directive 2024) may impose carbon surcharges of €0.012 per kWh, adding €15-20 per month. Evaluate these factors before signing 36-month contracts.

3600 dedicated server

A 3600 dedicated server is a physical bare-metal server powered by an Intel Xeon “Platinum 8360Y” or “Gold 6330” (36-core, 72-thread) CPU and 3 600 GB of NVMe or SAS storage. The term is used colloquially by hosting providers to market a single-tenant machine whose headline resources are 36 cores and 3.6 TB of usable disk. It is not an official Intel model number; always verify the exact CPU SKU, disk type, and SLA before purchase.

Hardware specification

Typical bill-of-materials advertised in 2024:

CPU 2 × Intel Xeon Gold 6330 (36 C / 72 T, 2.0 GHz base, 3.2 GHz turbo, 205 W TDP)
RAM 256 GB DDR4-3200 ECC REG (8 × 32 GB); upgradeable to 1 TB
Storage 4 × 1.92 TB NVMe in RAID-5 yielding 5.76 TB raw, 3.6 TB usable after formatting and hot-spare
Network 2 × 10 GbE (SFP+); optional 25 GbE or 100 GbE NIC
Chassis 1U or 2U rack, redundant 800 W PSU, IPMI / KVM over IP

Power draw under 100 % load: ≈ 350 W in 1U, ≈ 420 W in 2U with additional NVMe bays. Monthly colocation cost for 1 kWh in Frankfurt (DE) is €0.25; expect €63–€75 power-only charges before bandwidth.

Use cases

Cost comparison (April 2024)

Prices are list, 36-month term, 10 GbE unmetered, Frankfurt region:

Risks and disclaimers

Template:Risk disclaimer Hosting a blockchain validator on a 3600 dedicated server exposes you to:

  • Slashing if the provider’s network drops > 0.5 % of epochs
  • Regulatory seizure of hardware in case of host bankruptcy
  • NVMe wear-out after ~3.6 PBW; verify TBW rating and monitor SMART attribute “Percentage Used”

Always maintain off-site backups and keep bare-metal restore images; RAID-5 is not a substitute for backups.

Provisioning time ranges from 15 minutes (Leaseweb) to 72 hours (OVH if stock-out).

Energy efficiency

At 350 W average draw, yearly consumption is 3.06 MWh. With PUE 1.2, that equals 3.67 MWh at the meter. In the EU ETS at €65 tCO₂e, carbon cost is ≈ €12.50/server/year—negligible compared with €3 000 hosting fee, but material at scale (1 000 servers ≈ 12.5 tCO₂).
