GPC // General Purpose Compute

Cost-efficient enterprise infrastructure designed for production workloads that require reliability and stability without the premium of next-gen compute.

General Purpose Intel® Xeon® 6246R DDR4 HPE NVMe (iSCSI) 40 G Network 99.99% SLA

Our Cost-Efficient Platform

General Purpose Compute (GPC) is engineered for steady-state production, development, and test environments where reliability, predictable cost, and enterprise-grade consistency outweigh the need for premium next-generation compute.

The Platform

Engineered for Reliability and Cost Efficiency

General Purpose Compute (GPC) is Cloud Propeller’s 3rd generation enterprise Virtual Data Center platform, engineered for steady-state production, development, and test environments where cost efficiency outweighs the need for the sheer raw performance of next-generation compute. It runs on 3.4 GHz Intel® Xeon® Gold 6246R CPUs, DDR4 ECC memory, and all-flash HPE Alletra NVMe storage over iSCSI, delivering consistent behavior for general-purpose workloads. Each host is equipped with 40G networking, and no clusters are provisioned beyond 50% utilization, ensuring ample headroom and complete insulation from noisy-neighbor interference.

Consumption Models

One Platform. Two Ways to Consume It

General Purpose Compute (GPC) runs on the same enterprise platform in both consumption models. The difference is not the underlying infrastructure—it’s how resources are allocated and billed.

Elastic

Pay As You Go

For price-sensitive environments where usage-based billing and scale flexibility matter.

  • Resource consumption measured every 5 minutes
  • Pay only for what you actually use
  • Scale resources up or down without long-term commitment
  • Ideal for development, test, or variable production workloads
From $180 /month

Includes 1 Gbps connectivity and a /29 public IP subnet.

Monthly: $11 / vCPU, $12 / GB RAM, $0.25 / GB Storage

Hourly: $0.015058 / vCPU, $0.016427 / GB RAM, $0.000342 / GB Storage

Configure Pay As You Go
Reserved

Dedicated Capacity

For steady-state production workloads where performance consistency and budget predictability are both valued.

  • CPU, memory, and storage pre-allocated to your environment
  • Fixed monthly billing for predictable budget planning
  • Maximum consistency in both performance and cost
  • Ideal for cost-conscious, steady-state enterprise workloads
From $298 /month

Includes dedicated compute, 1 Gbps connectivity, and a /29 public IP subnet.

Monthly: $11 / vCPU, $12 / GB RAM, $0.25 / GB Storage

Hourly: $0.015058 / vCPU, $0.016427 / GB RAM, $0.000342 / GB Storage

Configure Dedicated Capacity

Clients can deploy multiple GPC VDCs across both consumption models, mixing Pay As You Go and Dedicated Capacity as needed, while managing everything through a single interface. GPC can also be deployed alongside Mission Critical Compute (MCC) when different workloads call for different performance tiers.
