Latency isn’t just inconvenient—it’s expensive. And the physical distance between hyper-scale cloud data centers and your end-users might not seem big, but every mile matters to workloads that measure performance in units smaller than milliseconds.
SP// Virtual Machines have the edge that latency-sensitive workloads need. Enjoy all of the scalability, efficiency, access and control benefits expected from a cloud VM, compounded by the advantage of being in StackPath edge locations worldwide. Put your workloads virtually in end-users’ backyards.
Low-latency application servers
Configure and completely control a full computing environment to run multiple applications and make it exactly the web server, game server, database node, or other low-latency solution you require.
Private edge applications
Create, use, or even sell our own edge application, such as a content delivery network, virtual desktops, DNS resolvers, and more.
GPU-accelerated workloads
Deliver the computational power required by workloads such as deep-learning algorithms, intense graphical processing, and other parallel architectures.
StackPath has helped Network Next deliver better digital experiences for our customers. Among our suppliers, StackPath is consistently in the top-performing group in many locations.”
Glenn Fiedler • CEO, Network Next
Case StudyUltra-low latency
Deploy VMs in any of 38 markets, part of our global platform of 44 geographically diverse locations. End-user data can reach our containers up to 2.6 times faster than public cloud VMs.
Bandwidth optimization
Optimize how much data your workload has to move around the internet by having it processed and returned closer to end-users, reducing total bandwidth usage and minimizing data corruption and vulnerability inherently to data in transit.
Multi-cloud support
StackPath VMs are designed to become a seamless part of your multi-cloud strategy. Familiar controls, open source operating systems, and robust APIs make it easy to integrate and manage StackPath VMs in manual operations, automated workflows, and CI/CD pipelines, to complement third-party services with new levels of optimization and speed.
High scalability and flexibility
Leverage Anycast IP addresses and autoscaling to meet demand spikes, route traffic to the fastest-responding VMs, and establish other sophisticated methods to ensure instances are not overloaded, all requests are served promptly, and your operations run efficiently.
More control and cost-effectiveness
Simplify operations by deploying to a fully managed environment with instant deployment, no clusters to deal with, a robust and open RESTful API, support for CI/CD environments and existing DevOps tools like Terraform and direct control over CPU, memory, disk resources and location.

Anycast IP Addresses
Add Anycast IPs to automatically distribute end-user/client traffic to your fastest-responding VM.
Image Capture & Storage
Capture and store images of existing VMs to enable autoscaling, rapid deployment, or convenient rollbacks for version control and backward compatibility.
Auto-scaling
Seamlessly scale up and out during periods of high demand to ensure workload availability without any service degradation.
Instant Deployment
Have VMs running in any or many StackPath edge locations in seconds with a single click or API call.
CI/CD Support
Push changes to VMs with CLI tools that integrate with your existing continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline, reducing the risk of code changes to mission-critical workloads.
L3-L4 DDoS Protection
