Hosting provider QWINS has wrapped up a major upgrade of its infrastructure in the Netherlands. The Amsterdam location got a facelift that touches performance, networking, and security. Client VPS units now promise to be faster, more stable, and slightly less inviting to internet troublemakers.
What's New Under the Hood
The server platform switched to AMD EPYC 7763 processors. This 64-core beast with 128 threads and a clock speed of up to 3.5 GHz shares resources between virtual servers with the generosity of a rich uncle. Thanks to PCIe 4.0 support and eight memory channels, it doesn't choke even when neighboring VPS start hogging the blanket.
The network infrastructure didn't stay idle either: client VPS bandwidth has been cranked up to 50 Gbit/s. That means traffic zips through faster than morning coffee vanishes from a developer's desk, and peak loads stop being a reason to panic.
Security hardening got its own line item on the engineers' checklist. Post-upgrade, the infrastructure stands firmer against malicious traffic, and service resilience got a boost — as much as that's possible in a world where DDoS attacks aren't going anywhere.
The dry list of changes:
-
migration to AMD EPYC 7763;
-
network bandwidth increased to 50 Gbit/s;
-
more stable VPS performance under load;
-
strengthened attack protection.
The company promised to keep developing its locations and gradually upgrading equipment across the board. What's next remains a mystery, but the Amsterdam site can now hold its head high without embarrassment.
