Our Business. Five years of high quality service has made us one hell of a company.
Established in late 2003, Velocity Servers has quickly become a leading force in the Game Server Provider (GSP) arena. Benefiting from the substantial amounts of capital available to it, Velocity Servers uses only the very best hardware and networks. Our ability to own our hardware has allowed us to stay one step ahead of the competition in all areas. Unlike our "competitors" whom are forced to pay inflated rates to rent less than optimal machines, we are able to pass the savings of owning our hardware on to you.
Game servers, game servers and game servers - yes that's what we're all about at Velocity. We do one thing, and we do it well - running high performance, high availability (no down time) game servers! Upgrade to professional grade and see why our combined decades of experience will have you asking yourself, "why didn't I switch sooner?"
We have peering agreements with the largest names in the business. Our list of providers include Savvis, Level(3), MCI, AT&T and various private peers. We do not purchase any Cogent, Verio, or resold transit. We utilize Cisco Catalyst 4948-E and 6506-SUP2 switches in each datacenter for optimal switching performance. Each switch is configured to use Cisco Express Forwarding and EtherChannel for performance, redundancy, and bandwidth aggregation.
But even the best networks can't work optimally with sub-par hardware. So we've made sure that we have the best in both aspects. Our minimum server specifications are so high that they rank as top hardware configurations for most other game server providers. Our minimum specifications are as follows:
OCTI Clovertown XEON™
6144 MB DDR2 667 ECC Registered Ram
2 x 15K SCSI Seagate Cheetahs
INTEL-5300™ Chipset
SuperMirco 1U Case
We've opted for Clovertown XEONs™ solutions due to their excellent performance under load. Our tests have shown that when compared to Nocona/Irwindale Xeons/AMD Opterons™ are nearly 45% faster under when it matters most. Paired with SCSI hard drives, these machines will leave you rounds ahead of the competition on match night.
