ERPC Opens a New Data Center in Amsterdam. Even Closer to Key Data Sources. Equipped with the Highest-Clock CPUs on the Market
ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO have opened a new data center in the Amsterdam region and begun providing services from this facility.
By further shortening the network distance to key data sources and proactively adopting the highest-clock CPUs on the market, we have strengthened our low-latency environment for Solana.
Thank you as always for your tremendous support.
Significance of Amsterdam and the New Facility
Amsterdam is one of Europe’s leading financial and network hubs, with numerous Internet exchanges concentrated in the city.
Approximately 20% of Solana validators are located in this area, making it one of the most important regions in the global Solana network.
With the opening of the new data center, we have increased network proximity to major validator groups and data sources, achieving practical reductions in round-trip latency and improved stability.
The Netherlands places a strong emphasis on environmental considerations, and in Amsterdam data center operations are expected to avoid excessively low cooling set points.
Stable operation of high-clock CPUs requires advanced cooling and power design, and selecting the right partner data center has long been a challenge.
Taking these constraints into account, we partnered with a trusted provider capable of optimizing cooling, power, and rack density in a balanced way, and established a new site well suited for Solana operations.
Adoption Policy for the Highest-Clock CPUs on the Market
In Amsterdam, we have first introduced high-clock AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPUs to our shared gRPC endpoints, leveraging the market’s highest clock speed of 5.3GHz in the 24-core-and-up segment. Our primary focus is to secure stream processing throughput while minimizing latency.
For Solana Indexed RPC, we have adopted high-clock 5th-generation AMD EPYC CPUs that can support large-capacity, high-speed RAM, balancing broad data retention with rapid responses.
The new site’s cooling and power design has been tuned with sustained turbo operation in mind, ensuring stable low latency even in shared environments.
Large Restock of the Theoretically Fastest Same Network EPYC VPS
We have also restocked EPYC VPS instances that allow you to place your Solana application on the same network as the endpoints. Avoiding the variability of the external internet and shortening the round-trip path itself is the most reliable way to reduce latency.
Bare metal is, of course, the fastest option, but this EPYC VPS lineup is built to target effective performance that does not fall behind bare metal, and it strongly supports real-time requirements when combined with shared gRPC and Indexed RPC.
Challenges ERPC Solves and What Comes Next
To solve the following challenges, we build our own dedicated Solana infrastructure and a zero-distance communication network.
- Frequent transaction failures and latency variability common in general RPC environments
- Performance throttling by many infrastructure providers
- The significant impact of network distance on communication quality
- The difficulty for smaller projects to access high-quality infrastructure
We will continue our research and development, improving quality across both shared and dedicated lines while stabilizing inventory and expanding coverage across regions in Asia and the Americas.
To ensure more projects achieve solid latency and throughput, we will continue persistent R&D and tuning.
