RapidSwitch

RapidSwitch is a UK hosting company that supplies dedicated servers and wider infrastructure services. It owns its data centres and runs a private network across the UK, and its site describes more than two decades of operation.

What RapidSwitch offers

• Bare metal servers — Intel and AMD dedicated machines, either pre-built or made to order.
• GPU and FPGA servers — hardware for AI and high-performance computing, including space for customers' own equipment.
• Infrastructure design — architects plan hosted systems, on-premises setups and public cloud platforms.
• Application modernisation — converting monolithic applications into microservices for containers.
• Network and security — leased lines, SD-WAN, firewalls, storage and managed services.

Who it works with
