Why Choose velia.net for Your Solana Infrastructure?

When milliseconds matter and every slot counts, your Solana infrastructure cant afford compromises. velia.net delivers purpose-built bare metal servers specifically optimized for Solanas unique requirements. Our cutting-edge AMD EPYC Zen 5 processors, combined with enterprise-grade components and expert support, ensure your validators and RPC nodes perform at their peak 24/7.

Cutting-Edge Hardware That Outperforms

Our servers feature the latest AMD EPYC 9555P (Turin) processors based on Zen 5 architecture. With 64 cores running at up to 4.40 GHz, these CPUs deliver the single-thread performance crucial for Solana's Proof of History consensus. Unlike competitors still using Zen 4, our Zen 5 infrastructure provides up to 16% better IPC (instructions per cycle), directly translating to faster block propagation and reduced skip rates.

Battle-Tested by Leading Validators

Over 300 Solana nodes currently run on our infrastructure, processing billions of transactions daily. Top validators trust velia.net for mission-critical operations, with our servers maintaining 99.99% uptime across all customer deployments. This isn't theoretical performance – it's proven reliability at scale.

DoubleZero Support, Available Today

Our infrastructure supports DoubleZero, Solana's low-latency runtime, today. velia.net customers get direct access to reduced latency for block production and MEV extraction.

Solana-Optimized Server Specifications

Every component in our Solana servers is selected for maximum performance and reliability. From the processor to the network interface, we've eliminated bottlenecks that could impact your validator's performance.

Why These Specs Matter for Solana

CPU Performance

The AMD EPYC 9555P's high clock speeds (up to 4.40 GHz) directly impact your validator's ability to process transactions quickly. With Solana's sub-second block times, every millisecond of compute performance translates to better slot leadership and fewer skipped blocks.

Memory Capacity:

768GB of DDR5 RAM provides ample space for Solana's growing account database while maintaining optimal performance. This 2x advantage over standard 384GB configurations ensures your validator won't face memory pressure as the network grows.

Storage Architecture:

Dual NVMe drives in RAID configuration deliver the IOPS necessary for Solana's demanding storage requirements. Fast storage is critical for snapshot processing, ledger management, and maintaining low confirmation times.

Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure Built for Blockchain

Global Network Presence

Strategic data center locations ensure optimal connectivity to Solana's global validator network:

  • Frankfurt, Germany - Central European hub with <5ms to major EU validators
  • Strasbourg, France - Redundant EU presence with diverse network paths
  • New York, USA - Prime East Coast location for North American stake
  • St. Louis, USA - Central US positioning for balanced latency
  • Miami, USA - Gateway to Latin American Solana ecosystem
  • Singapore - Asia-Pacific hub covering Southeast Asian growth

Network Architecture Optimized for Solana

Multi-Homed Connectivity: Each location features 4.2 Tbit/s total bandwidth capacity with connections to multiple tier-1 transit providers. This redundancy ensures your validator maintains connectivity even during network issues.

100G Network Ports: Available for high-stakes validators requiring maximum bandwidth for MEV extraction and block propagation during leader slots.

Stake-Weighted QoS: Our network is configured to respect Solana's stake-weighted Quality of Service, ensuring high-stake validators receive priority during network congestion.

Trusted by Leading Solana Validators

We've run our validator on velia.net for over 18 months. Zero downtime, no hardware issues, and support that actually understands what a skipped slot means. They've saved us multiple times during emergency upgrades.

Leo T.

Validator Operator, Netherlands

What sold me was the RAM and CPU config. Other providers were still offering Zen 3 or 4 with 384GB — not enough for our indexing workload. With velia.net’s setup, our historical RPC is now 3x faster.

Cynthia K.

RPC Infrastructure Lead, US East Coast

We switched to velia.net after constant instability with our old provider. Since moving, skip rate dropped from 0.5% to under 0.1%. DoubleZero readiness is the cherry on top — we’re ready before the rest.
