Choose a media server

I am looking to buy a dedicated server for my video project, I have multiple video upload at the same time each video I upload is about 2-3 GB in size and about 2-3 hours in length (TV Series/Movies). Currently I am using Intel Xeon E5-1650V3 dedicated server with 128GB of RAM with dedicated port link speed 1GBPS but when I convert mp4/avi videos into HLS using FFMPEG it takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour on each video to convert but I need some faster solution that can do within less then 15 minutes. Some hosting companies recommends to add GPU in it.Please recommend me a dedicated server specification that can handle version conversion very fast. features I will be using CentOS7, FFMPEGLooking forward for recommendations

I am looking for a dedicated server for plex which can do occasional HW transcoding.
I am looking for an unmanaged server
Processor: Intel Skylake or newer with iGPU
Disk: 512 - 1TB NVMe
RAM: 16GB+
Network: 1Gbps port with over 10TB - unlimited(preferred)
Location: US(preferred) or good peering to US
Currently looking at Hetzner EX42-NVME, so anything in that price range works for me.

I need good server for file transcoding service like avi to mp4, mp3 to mp4, pdf to doc etc. etc., for small files that is not big problem but what to use for large video files on most servers ffmpeg will need some nice time to transcode 700MB avi to some other format...first I think to use many graphic cards for this job, look like it is possible but after reading some reviews and testing look like speed is a lot better but quality is very bad and look like nvidia cards is best to use...

Somebody have good option for this project? Any info will be nice...

Thanks.

Hi All,

I need a server (to start with) where I can do solution demos and build acceptance platform to perform upgrades etc.
For example, say a hosting company wants to design a solution where they want to move into ceph and openstack . and want a demo of how it looks like and how it works .. those are built virtually .. so this server will host a lot of virtual machines .. like 3x controllers, 3x ceph mons, 4x ceph osd, 4x hypervisors , 1x storage, 1x router , 3x object storage etc .. . you get the idea..

I already have a few servers from a provider, but the prices are getting higher, so I am just checking out what I can get. (maybe I am paying more)

Requirements:

at least 24 threads .. the more the better .. but not more than 40 threads ( can be amd or intel ) 1x ssd disk for the OS (can be 480gb min) and 2x 1 TB nvme .. ( i do not need raid , this has no customer data) 128 gb of ram Unmanaged kvm/idrac access preferred . but not a necessity. OS to be installed is ubuntu-focal minimum with only ssh enabled via ssh-key Bandwidth -- 99% incoming -- imagine 20-30 virtual-machines doing apt-get every week or doing git clone from github every few-days as a part of their build .. .. the only ports open = ssh and https ( say 1-2 hours per month, when a public demo is required) ... IPs - one for the main server, 3-4 additional Location: Europe preferred, but US is also OK.

Please do not ask me for a budget. But feel free to post your recommendations.


Thanks.

Hello,

We are looking for a dedicated server in UK with a bit softer DMCA policy (as we know absolute DMCA ignore is not possible in the UK). We have been working with redstation for the last 5 years without any problems, however, recently we have been a target of DMCA. We host media content mostly (no pornography or any graphic content. mostly indian media content uploaded by users). Upon a DMCA notice, we quickly find the targeted content, inform the user and take down the content. Recently happening quite often. Have worked with some good hosting companies in NL, however, the connectivity is not always that good to UK and having a big part of our client base in the UK requires us to have a local dedicated server. The configuration we expect is:

Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 or higher
8 to 16GB of ram
240gb SSD (1tb hdd will do as well if no ssd option)
Bandwidth: we do around 50-60TB per month maximum. Would prefer 80 to 100TB monthly on 1gbps just in case.
Looking for recommendations.
Thank you in advance.

Hi friends,

-RAM: 64 GB ECC 2133 MHz
-Disk: 2450 GB SSD NVMe
-OS: CloudLinux 7
-Web Server: LiteSpeed

I will host 1 cPanel account with 1 WordPress (nothing more) and I need know if can accept 10.000 - 15.000 simultaneous users.

Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

We're looking for a backup storage server with eg. 6X8TB Raid 6, we have found such products at Hetzner and OVH, but we do not want to go though their verification process so where can we buy this without such KYC?
We're not going to do anything scammy with this server, we just need a place to store incremental backups and perhaps do some video encoding. We do value our privacy and these mentioned companies seems expect us to submit DNA sample as part of just ordering a simple server.
