Dear Datacenter owners
Dear Datacenter owners, I am reaching out to you as a trusted expert in data center infrastructure. I currently have a project that requires deploying a specialized cluster (RedTeam research) and I would like to discuss the possibility of hosting it in your facility.
The cluster consists of three servers with the following hardware specification:
CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 (14 cores / 28 threads each) → 56 cores, 112 threads per server
RAM: 256 GB DDR4 per server
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5000 24GB GDDR6 per server
Storage: NVMe SSD ≥ 2 TB per server (for fast I/O)
In addition to the hardware, we have specific networking requirements:
Internal connectivity: A dedicated 10 GbE switch (copper or fiber) connecting the three servers. We would like to manage this internal switching infrastructure ourselves – meaning we need full administrative access to the switch or at least a private VLAN with our own routing and ACL capabilities.
External access / test environments: We need a gateway server or a software-based NFGW (Network Function Gateway) that will act as a controlled egress point. This gateway must allow the cluster to reach the internet and/or other target environments (for legitimate testing purposes) under our strict control – with the ability to configure NAT, firewall rules, and dynamic routing on the fly.
We are prepared to handle all configuration and maintenance inside the cluster. From your side, we would need rack space, power, cooling, basic L2 connectivity, and the possibility to interconnect our own L3 switch (or a dedicated VRF). Also, assistance with provisioning an external gateway (e.g., a public IP address for outbound traffic) would be appreciated.
Could you please evaluate the feasibility of this setup? I would also be interested in approximate timelines, rack rental costs, bandwidth pricing, and the options for a managed 10G internal network.
And for cheap of course.

Hello,
PureVoltage operating multiple datacenter suites, can assist with this setup. We have years of experience with tailored setups.
I will shoot you over a DM, I hope to work with you.
Or more accurately: abuse
I'm really curious of what kind of "RedTeam research" requires this setup 🤣
"redteam research" requiring your own l3 switch, full nat/firewall control, and a controlled egress gateway ? ( asking for 3x dual xeon servers with rtx 5000s, dedicated 10g switching, and full administrative network control ). thats c2 infrastructure and "for cheap of course" asking for nation state lab infra at homelab pricing.
Just ask what that RedTeam research even is. Nice budget
dear diary
Can someone explain how this 2x math works?
It works the same as 9+10=21
Another contender for top 10 most suspicious LET posts of 2026
But assuming it's legit, 24GB VRAM + 256GB DDR4 doesn't seem like an ideal combo for AI. Usually CPU offload demolishes pp/s & tok/s. And if you're planning a shared model across all three of these over the network links (even 10gb/e ones) it will be even slower. But maybe it could work out with the right mixture of experts model. Let us know what kind of speeds you can get out of it.
Could be for hash cracking. That doesn't need much VRAM at all.
Right now we need 90GB vram and 250GB ddr5
The way this post is worded is very odd
250gb RAM for each server?
yes, correct
@bbmmsvr4u had 16gb or 24Gb as i remeber.....
only @emgh can perform inspections ... he will require drawings first.
it's a relevant ask, hopefully it's relevant pay too
@RURK Budget? Location? How many IPv4? IPv6?
I think it's a typo and it was meant to say "RedTube".
