[LF] Dedicated Server | 8+ Cores | VT-d | Dual 10Gbps Active NICs | $80-$130

Hello LET Community,

I am looking for a dedicated server for Networking Virtualization projects. The hardware must meet specific networking and BIOS requirements.

Specifications:

CPU: Minimum 8 Cores (Intel-based for VT-d compatibility).

RAM: 16 GB or more.

Storage: 100 GB+ (SSD/NVMe).

OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Hard Requirements:

Virtualization: Intel VT-d must be supported and enabled in the BIOS (I/O passthrough is mandatory).

NIC Series: Required controllers with SR-IOV VFs support. One of the following:

Intel 700 Series (X710 / XL710)

Intel 500/520 Series (82599 / X520 / X540 / X55x)

Networking Setup:

Dual Active Interfaces: 2x 10 Gbps Network Interfaces (Simultaneous operation).

IP Allocation: Dedicated IPv4 and IPv6 addresses assigned to each link independently.

Traffic: No IPTV usage. The server is strictly for Networking Virtualization and testing.

Budget & Location:

Budget: $80 - $130 / month.

Location: Any (US/EU/Global) as long as the specs are met.

Setup Time: Ready to purchase immediately once confirmed.

If you are a provider or have a recommendation that fits this specific dual-NIC requirement, please leave a comment or PM me.

Best regards,
