Technology Explained
What is AMD SEV and Why It Matters
Enterprise-grade security made simple
The Simple Explanation
AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) is like having a personal vault inside the server's processor. Your data is encrypted by the CPU itself using keys that only your virtual machine knows - not the hosting provider, not the hypervisor, not even someone with physical access to the server.
Think of it as the difference between renting a room with a lock (traditional VPS) versus renting a bank vault where only you have the combination (AMD SEV). Even the bank owner can't see what's inside.
Why This Changes Everything
Zero-Trust Architecture
You don't have to trust the hosting provider, the hypervisor, or other tenants. The hardware guarantees your data stays encrypted and isolated-it's mathematically impossible for anyone else to access it.
Complete Data Protection
Your data is encrypted in memory (RAM) and on disk. Even if someone steals the physical server or gains root access to the host system, they can't read your data. It's protected by hardware, not just software.
You Control the Keys (Industry First)
We're the only provider offering both encrypted RAM (AMD SEV) and encrypted disk with user-controlled decryption keys. Our exclusive control panel lets you manage keys and decrypt your server on reboot-no console mess, no shared access. Just simple, secure control.
Incredibly Easy to Use
Despite the advanced security, using our Confidential Computing Servers is as simple as any VPS:
- Instant provisioning - Your encrypted server is ready in under 60 seconds
- No configuration needed - Encryption is enabled automatically, no complex setup
- User-friendly control panel - Manage encryption keys with a simple web interface
- Works with your existing apps - Compatible with Linux and Windows Server
Enterprise security without the enterprise complexity
Join organizations that trust Server & Cloud for their most sensitive workloads

Common Questions
Learn more about AMD SEV technology and our Swiss hosting infrastructure
What is AMD SEV Confidential Computing?
AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) encrypts each VM's memory with a unique hardware key. The host system cannot access your data - even with physical access to the server. This creates a zero-trust architecture where only your workload can decrypt its own memory.
How does this differ from standard VPS hosting?
Standard VPS relies on software isolation. Our Confidential Servers use hardware-enforced encryption at the CPU level. The hypervisor, host OS, and other tenants cannot access your memory or disk contents. You get cryptographic proof of confidentiality, not just promises.
Is disk encryption included?
Yes, always-on AES-256 disk encryption is enabled by default. Your data is encrypted at rest and in memory with no configuration required. Snapshots and backups are also encrypted using the same security standards.
What performance can I expect?
Dedicated-class performance powered by AMD EPYC CPUs, delivering approximately ~90K read IOPS and ~38K write IOPS on replicated NVMe storage with consistent sub-millisecond latency (230–265 µs average). Networking is provided via 10 Gigabit Ethernet with no oversubscription, and encryption overhead remains negligible thanks to hardware acceleration.
Where are servers located and what compliance do you offer?
All servers are hosted in ISO 27001 certified Swiss data centers. Switzerland's strong data protection laws and political neutrality make it ideal for GDPR, PCI-DSS, and other regulatory compliance requirements.
Can I migrate from my existing servers?
Yes. Our support team assists with migrations from both VPS and dedicated servers. We provide guided migration workflows and hands-on support to ensure a smooth transition, typically completed within hours and with minimal downtime. You retain dedicated-class performance while gaining a more flexible and secure compute platform.
What’s included in the price?
Everything you need is included by default: AMD SEV based encryption, always-on disk encryption, and advanced DDoS protection that effectively mitigates NTP, DNS, UDP, Memcached, TCP SYN, and TCP ACK flood attacks through multi-layer traffic scrubbing. You also get 10 GbE connectivity, automated backups, 24/7 monitoring, and a 99.99% uptime SLA - with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Are there any limitations?
Nested virtualization and GPU passthrough are not currently supported due to the SEV architecture. Most modern Linux distributions and Windows Server versions are fully compatible. Resources are provided under a fair usage policy, consistent with industry standards, to ensure predictable performance and platform stability for all customers. If you have specific or sustained high-intensity workload requirements, please contact us - our team will be happy to discuss suitable configurations.
