Cost-efficient enterprise infrastructure designed for production workloads that require reliability and stability without the premium of next-gen compute.
General Purpose Compute (GPC) is engineered for steady-state production, development, and test environments where reliability, predictable cost, and enterprise-grade consistency outweigh the need for premium next-generation compute.
General Purpose Compute (GPC) is Cloud Propeller’s 3rd generation enterprise Virtual Data Center platform, engineered for steady-state production, development, and test environments where cost efficiency outweighs the need for the sheer raw performance of next-generation compute. It runs on 3.4 GHz Intel® Xeon® Gold 6246R CPUs, DDR4 ECC memory, and all-flash HPE Alletra NVMe storage over iSCSI, delivering consistent behavior for general-purpose workloads. Each host is equipped with 40G networking, and no clusters are provisioned beyond 50% utilization, ensuring ample headroom and complete insulation from noisy-neighbor interference.

General Purpose Compute (GPC) runs on the same enterprise platform in both consumption models. The difference is not the underlying infrastructure—it’s how resources are allocated and billed.
For price-sensitive environments where usage-based billing and scale flexibility matter.
Includes 1 Gbps connectivity and a /29 public IP subnet.
For steady-state production workloads where performance consistency and budget predictability are both valued.
Includes dedicated compute, 1 Gbps connectivity, and a /29 public IP subnet.
Clients can deploy multiple GPC VDCs across both consumption models, mixing Pay As You Go and Dedicated Capacity as needed, while managing everything through a single interface. GPC can also be deployed alongside Mission Critical Compute (MCC) when different workloads call for different performance tiers.
General Purpose Compute is engineered to deliver consistent, reliable behavior under steady-state load—regardless of which consumption model you choose.
