ClickHouse on bare metal. Nothing between the query and the disk.
ClickHouse is built to saturate hardware: every core, every NVMe lane. On shared cloud instances, that means throttling and unpredictable tail latency. You run ClickHouse, we run the servers and the network under it.

What ClickHouse gets from the whole machine
- Full NVMe throughput
Wide analytical scans read gigabytes per second from disk. Local NVMe RAID with no virtualization layer and no shared storage backend. The I/O ceiling is the hardware itself.
- Same query, same time
No noisy neighbors, no CPU steal time, no burst credits running out mid-query. Unshared cores mean the same query takes the same time at 3 AM and at the daily peak.
- Replication without a transfer bill
You pay a flat monthly rate for an unshared uplink at the speed you choose, with unmetered traffic across it. Replicating between regions uses that uplink, so it never shows up as a per-GB line on the invoice.
What we’d put under your ClickHouse.
Four starting points from our engineers’ guide. Your account manager sizes the exact config with you.
Our engineers’ advice: one shard and two replicas, three if the data is critical. Scale up before you shard.

How to tune performance settings in ClickHouse for large data loads
The part you don’t have to build

A network we run ourselves
330+ Tbps network, 50 Tbps private backbone, zero packet loss. Traffic between your ClickHouse nodes across locations never fights for capacity.

67 global locations
Put nodes where your users and data are. Same hardware standard and same service quality in every location, on 6 continents.

Engineers who know the hardware
A named account manager and real-time Slack access to engineers: sizing, routing requests, 3 AM hardware swaps. 24/7, no ticket queue.

Run ClickHouse on hardware nobody else touches.
Start with one node or move a whole cluster over. Flat monthly pricing, no commitment, engineers on Slack from day one.
