Pulsed Media MiniServers Beta Testing + ZEN MiniDedi + 10G Servers

Our service migrations and hardware upgrades have been going well, so we decided a refresh of our dedicated server offers was next.

Many of our customers use our servers to deliver VPN and Streaming services for their customers, but we also have a solid selection of dedis for individuals.

We're currently testing a new line of Micro Servers, more details can be found here: http://pulsedmedia.com/clients/announcements.php?id=579

also ZEN MiniDedi has a few units in stock right now for Your Ryzen Fix!

MiniServer Beta Test

The original batch of beta units have been in testing for a while, and have proven to be incredibly popular. These servers have the iGPU enabled, and Intel's transcoding engine makes them excellent transcoding servers

  • Core i5-7500T
  • 16GB RAM
  • 256GB NVMe
  • 1Gbps Unmetered (Fair Use)

First Month Just 19.99€/Month, 29.99€/Month recurring
Order: https://pulsedmedia.com/clients/cart.php?a=add&pid=291&promocode=miniserverBeta2212
Promocode: miniserverBeta2212
Announcement: http://pulsedmedia.com/clients/announcements.php?id=579

We currently have only 5 of these in stock, get one while they're still around

ZEN MiniDedi

Customizable mini ryzens, only couple units back in stock so configure yours immediately before they are gone.
Check a config for yourself from https://pulsedmedia.com/zen-minidedi.php

10G Dedis and Custom Built

We also refreshed these offers but they are typically above LET price point, so let the page speak for itself: https://pulsedmedia.com/dedicated-servers-finland.php
You can get a -30% First Month Discount With Code: 2022LET-DediRefresh For First 3 signups! Valid for any of the three models.
This makes the entry level 10G Unmetered 118.99€ For The First Month!

Those 10G Unmetered Shared Servers used to be shared seedbox servers until we just upgraded the hardware + software paradigm for our shared offers. All units have been long in production and will go through a full maintenance and testing cycle before delivery.

Custom Built servers are typically new hardware, ask for the config you need. There is plenty of Ryzen servers in stock currently as well.
Custom built servers come with 10G, 20G and 40G should be available in Q1/2023

    I purchased one to see how it holds up. I going to use it as a tdarr node and convert my plex library into h265 to save on some storage space.

    MiniServer is interesting, but if it had at least 1 big HDD it would be perfect.

    Next Business Day + 5, so yes 6 business days.

    Mini-Servers gone. We'll see if we get another testing batch soon.
    These are quite fast to setup from HW purchase to online, and there is something else we'd like to test as well which would require another set of 8.

    Cannot fit HDDs on these, so signup a storage seedbox and mount that :)

    If we take these into production i think we will have at least 4TB SSD option from start. We could arrange preorder for 8TB SSD option tho, might be too pricey for general interest.

    We have been getting tickets and requests for more of these Micro Servers!

    We might do a presale for 16 units, expected delivery ~Mid January.
    Just not enough hours before holidays left i believe to deliver them sooner.

    Since your electricity is currently spiked, why not offer VPN service and charge for bandwidth?

    Getting a VPN into a seedbox datacenter isn't too shabby.

    Cost of opportunity. If we spend time developing a brand new VPN service from scratch it would take time away from rest of the measures, yet not bring as much value. Remember a Euro saved is at the very least 2 euros in sales worth.

    Some of our customers do offer VPN services tho

    Thanks for the suggestion tho :)

    Software/service margins blow hardware margins out of the water.

    If someone has a VPN-In-A-Box with Port Forwarding solution available, offer it to PulsedMedia!

    Fully agree with you there.

    Yea if there is ready made clustered solution, we'd be all up for implementing it.

    We actually had a OpenVPN VPN service back in like '05 but the code we purchased was buggy and unmaintained, for example, it never terminated or even suspended users, so in reality 1 month payment == lifetime account.

    Further we only ever had like maybe 50 users total for it ever, was not worth maintaining it for like 5 paying users ...
