Deployment Pipeline

Reserve the machine. We handle the physical build.

Dedicated hardware is physically sourced, assembled, bench-tested, and provisioned on bare-metal by our Hickory operations team.

STEP 01

Specification & Reserve

1. Pay and reserve

Choose monthly or annual billing, sign in, and complete the normal secure Stripe subscription checkout.

STEP 02

Hardware Lab Assembly

2. Build and test

Allow 7-12 business days for sourcing, assembly, operating-system setup, and load testing.

STEP 03

OS & Kernel Hardening

3. Kernel hardening

Proxmox VE deployment, high-tick scheduler tuning, WireGuard peering, and disk I/O optimization.

STEP 04

Fleet Handover

4. Warden activation

DustBowl activates the machine in Warden and notifies you when controls and connection details are ready.

Tenancy Architecture // Isolation Boundary

Pay for isolation when the workload needs it.

Choose single-tenant bare-metal when your community requires full host resources, or multi-tenant shared nodes for standard individual game instances.

01 // SINGLE-TENANT HARDWARE

Dedicated Machine

100% BARE-METAL ISOLATION

CPU, memory, and storage are isolated to your machine. The entire physical server node is dedicated to your workloads, giving you raw hardware performance with zero neighbor interference.

RESOURCES 100% Isolated Hardware

CPU, memory, and storage are isolated to your machine.

WORKLOADS Unlimited Multi-Instance

Run several game servers, supporting services, or unusual operating requirements.

DEPLOYMENT 7-12 Business Days

Physical sourcing and testing takes 7-12 business days in Hickory, NC hardware lab.

COST & BILLING Dedicated Whole Machine

Higher recurring cost for the whole machine and hands-on fulfillment.

02 // MULTI-TENANT FLEET

Shared Private Server

AUTOMATED FLEET POD

Hardware is shared while your game instance stays private. Standard sovereign game instance with root RCON, private SFTP, and instant automated provisioning.

RESOURCES Shared Host Substrate

Hardware is shared while your game instance stays private.

WORKLOADS Standard Single Server

Best for one supported game server with standard controls.

DEPLOYMENT Sub-60s Automated

Usually provisions after payment through the automated fleet.

COST & BILLING Lower Shared Node Cost

Lower cost because the underlying host is shared.

Need a smaller footprint? Looking for a single pre-configured private server instead of a full machine?
Bespoke Engineering & Fleet Scale

Need a custom architecture or cluster?

When standard catalog sizes do not match your community scale, high-frequency modpack demands, or multi-server mesh requirements, our Hickory engineering team sources, builds, and manages bespoke physical hardware.
