Every RackWorks VPS runs on Dell enterprise hardware in 123Net DC1, Southfield, Michigan. Here is the machine your server sits on, the network path it takes, and the building that keeps both running.
Every RackWorks KVM VPS runs on a Dell R640 with two Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processors, 40 physical cores, and 128GB of DDR4 ECC memory. The same host carries our LXC containers. Storage is a 1TB enterprise SSD and a 1TB U.2 NVMe drive; which one your plan uses is stated on the plan itself. You are not being placed on an unnamed machine in an unnamed region.
The host sits on a 1Gbps uplink with carrier-grade upstream transit through Interconnecx. Detroit-IX is on-site in the same building, and our upstream's Detroit-IX connected routing reaches 90+ connected networks, so traffic leaving your VPS hands off to the wider internet inside this building rather than crossing a metro first. For anyone serving the Midwest and Great Lakes, that is the shortest sensible path.
One facility means one known set of hardware, one network path, and one place to look when something is wrong. That holds just as much for a Windows RDP server as for a Linux one. Every plan includes unlimited transfer, throttled to 10 Mbps outbound once the monthly allowance is used, with inbound unmetered. Full speed returns at the start of the next cycle.
80,000 sq ft of raised floor, 20MW of power, and it's not some converted office space, it's built to run this kind of hardware. We picked it because it's carrier-neutral, so the networks our upstream depends on are already in the building.
Cross-connects inside the building are straightforward. It also anchors Detroit-IX, making it one of the densest interconnection hubs between Chicago and Toronto.
Detroit-IX is in the same building. 90+ networks peer there, including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Cloudflare. RackWorks is not a Detroit-IX member: we reach those networks through our upstream provider's Detroit-IX connected routing, and sitting in the same facility keeps that hand-off short.
123Net DC1 is carrier-neutral, and major networks including AT&T, Level 3, Cogent, and Comcast are present in the building. RackWorks does not hold those carrier relationships directly. Our transit comes from our upstream provider, which sources its connectivity inside that environment.
Traffic leaves the facility over Detroit-IX connected upstream routing, reaching 90+ connected networks through our upstream provider. RackWorks holds its own ASN (AS402908), but does not yet have an allocated IP block, so it is not currently announcing its own prefixes. Routing and path selection are handled upstream.
Geekbench 6 and iperf3, run on the exact box customers land on when they check out. Not a spec sheet, an actual test.
20MW total capacity, 2(N+1) cooling redundancy, dual power paths to every rack, diesel backup with fuel on-site. If one path fails, you'd never know.
Hot/cold aisle containment, raised floor, N+1 cooling. Boring stuff, but it's the boring stuff that keeps your server from cooking itself in July.
Every cabinet is monitored for power draw, temperature, and access in real time.
Step inside our Southfield facility. 80,000 square feet of purpose-built infrastructure, on camera.
Plenty of companies rent space in this same facility. Here's what you actually get with RackWorks on top of it.
Every RackWorks VPS runs from this Southfield, Michigan facility with Detroit-IX connected upstream routing. Every Linux plan also includes our one-click app marketplace at no extra cost. Pick the platform that fits your workload.
