Bandwidth

Bandwidth is the maximum network speed available to compute resources. The available bandwidth depends on the resource type:
  • Basic Virtual Machines: up to 200 Mbps
  • Dedicated Virtual Instances: up to 1 Gbps
  • Bare Metal servers: 10 Gbps or higher, depending on the selected configuration
InfoNetwork-Optimized Virtual Instances are planned for release (ETA: June 2026). These instances will provide higher bandwidth options of 1, 5, and 10 Gbps.
The value up to indicates the maximum achievable bandwidth. Actual throughput may vary depending on workload and network conditions. Gcore does not apply artificial throttling.

​
Traffic

Network traffic is the volume of data transferred to and from compute resources. For Virtual Machines, Gcore provides:
  • Unlimited traffic
  • Free incoming (ingress) traffic
  • Free outgoing (egress) traffic

​
Recommendations

For workloads that require high, stable network performance, use Bare Metal servers with dedicated or bonded network interfaces (10 Gbps or higher).
