Machine to customer

One physical M4 per customer. Never shared, never virtualized.

The difference

Every big Mac cloud runs from a hosting facility — and much of the modern web treats datacenter IP ranges differently. Your Vantix mini runs on dedicated symmetric business fiber from a tier-1 ISP, behind carrier network space, isolated on its own VLAN. For work where real-world network identity matters, there’s no substitute.

One tenant

Yours alone.

One customer per machine — your login, your fixed IP, your private VLAN. Nobody else ever touches it. Not shared, not virtualized, not sliced.

The connection

Wired for real work.

Cat6 into a managed switch on symmetric business fiber. No WiFi anywhere in the chain, no datacenter IP blocks — network space that reads like the real world.

The rack

Racked and running.

UPS-backed power, auto-restart, monitored around the clock. Twenty-five square inches of aluminum that never sleeps — so your work never does.

The hardware

HDMI.
Ethernet.
3× Thunderbolt.

Every port a server needs — hardwired into your VLAN, all of them yours.

Why us

Business fiber, not a datacenter

Our fleet runs on dedicated business fiber from a tier-1 ISP — network space that reads like the real world, not a hosting facility’s IP blocks.

Network-isolated

Your own private VLAN, walled off from every other customer. Your traffic, logins, and setups stay entirely yours.

Symmetric upload

As fast up as it is down. No upload bottleneck choking your outbound work at the worst moment.

Always on

Never sleeps. Auto-restarts after power events, UPS-backed router and switch.

Real remote access

Screen Sharing and SSH into a machine that’s yours alone — dedicated login, fixed IP, full macOS.

Run by operators

We run our own workloads on this exact rack every day. When you message support, you get the people holding the hardware.

About

A product of Vantix LLC. We run our own always-on workloads on this exact rack, on this exact fiber — so we built the hosting we couldn’t rent anywhere else.

No overselling. No virtual slices. No waiting on hardware.

FAQ

Three ways: our fleet runs on dedicated symmetric business fiber on real-ISP network space instead of datacenter IP ranges, every machine comes with 512GB storage (most clouds ship 256GB), and support is the two operators who own the rack — not a ticket queue. Comparable dedicated M4s elsewhere run $149–$216/mo with half the storage.

Availability

Every machine is racked, dedicated — and ready to go live.

Claim your mini and be live within 24 hours — fixed IP, SSH, and the full machine, yours alone.
