The next generation of Metal; Railway Metal Gen 2

Railway has significantly upgraded its infrastructure by deploying a new generation of hardware, termed "Gen 2 Metal," across its network, resulting in a fivefold increase in compute capacity and network throughput, alongside enhanced stability. This transformation was necessitated by the rapid growth in demand and the evolving needs of their workloads, which required a shift from Intel Xeon to AMD Zen 5c EYPC CPUs with advanced features like DDR5 and high-capacity NVMe storage. Despite global supply chain challenges and rising component prices, Railway has managed to expand its capacity while maintaining competitive pricing, ensuring that 40% of its workloads are now on cloud burst solutions, with plans to further increase the share running on Metal. The strategic placement of Gen 2 sites alongside existing Gen 1 regions allows for seamless integration and improved performance without requiring changes from customers, providing a more reliable and efficient platform that aligns with current and future workload demands.
