GPU passthrough allows to directly present an internal PCI GPU to virtual KVM machines. The GPU card is dedicated to the VM and cannot be used by other clients. GPU performance in virtual machines matches GPU performance in dedicated servers. Since we use large multi-card nodes for vGPU, virtual machines come at a cheaper price.

What customers say

After launching another successful IP — HUNT: Showdown, a competitive first-person PvP bounty hunting game with heavy PvE elements, Crytek aimed to bring this amazing game for its end-users. We needed a hosting provider that can offer us high-performance servers with great network speed, latency, and 24/7 support.

Video Transcoding Server: Interesting Solutions From Hostkey Provider

Transcoding is an integral part of IPTV and OTT. In fact, it has helped to upload various video files to the Internet and play them back on any device. Actually, the modern video service couldn't work without it.

If you are planning to work in this sphere, definitely, you should consider various variants of video transcoding servers. This equipment is very important because the power of an ordinary PC is not enough for complex manipulations. Let's examine the main reasons.

What does this process mean?

Transcoding is the file conversion between two digital formats. This operation involves the converting of three factors simultaneously – file format, audio, and video settings.

This process is very important if you want to attract as many customers as possible to the content of your web page. With its assistance, the media platform is able to create time-synchronized video streams with different bitrates and frame sizes to suit all types of devices. That’s why the content will be displayed on any screen.

Moreover, this function provides the optimization of quality. For example, if server-side video transcoding is used, a viewer with a fast Internet connection receives a high-resolution video. However, a customer with slow hosting gets access to low-quality files without testing of long buffering delays challenges.

Of course, there are some nuances to take into account for an excellent process:

· increased storage capacity.
· higher Internet traffic.
· growing necessity for video compression.

However, if you choose the reliable and powerful media server, it provides you with quite stable performance and you won't suffer from the lack of resources.
