# Solana gRPC Dedicated Nodes

**Dedicated Solana gRPC Nodes** are Shyft’s enterprise-grade endpoints — designed for teams that demand total control, consistent speed, and guaranteed availability.\
Every node is a private, isolated environment with exclusive compute and bandwidth reserved only for you.\
Built on **Shyft’s fault-tolerant** infrastructure, dedicated nodes deliver the same reliability as our shared platform — but with **better performance, guaranteed isolation, and zero contention.**

**Reach out to us on** [**Discord**](https://docs.shyft.to/) **or Dashboard Support to discuss your requirements and purchase your dedicated node.**

### Core Benefits

For situations where every millisecond matters

* <mark style="color:yellow;">Faster gRPC streaming</mark> than shared cluster by **3-15ms**.
* <mark style="color:yellow;">Faster RPC Calls —</mark> No authentication of API keys or rate limit enforcement saves you 5-10ms.
* <mark style="color:yellow;">Gen 5 AMD</mark> CPUs and <mark style="color:yellow;">Threadrippers</mark> for peak performance and reliability.
* <mark style="color:yellow;">No imposed limits</mark> on subscribe requests or connections.
* <mark style="color:yellow;">No noisy neighbours</mark>**, complete isolation** — Dedicated nodes stream only to your connection, while shared gRPC streams to all connected clients.
* <mark style="color:yellow;">Highly-Available</mark> thanks to Shyft's enterprise-grade infrastructure with **automatic failovers** baked into our load-balancers and DNS.

### Available Configs

We provision Gen5 AMD CPUs with high speed 5600/6400 MHz Ram sticks.

{% hint style="warning" %}
More cores and higher ram would be better suited for high laod. Especially if you want to use the node for RPC calls as well.

### Solana RPC Calls

**Can this dedicated gRPC node be used for RPC calls as well?**

**Yes,** your dedicated node can also be used for RPC calls. But keep in mind that all RPC calls are not equal. Index calls like **getProgramAccounts, getTokenAccountsByOwner, getTokenLargestAccounts** are very resource intensive and require minimum 1TB ram.

Transaction history calls  like **getBlock, getTransaction, getSignaturesForAddress, etc** can be enabled, but will be limited to 1 day.

Enabling both **indexes** and **transactions** on the same node can impact gRPC latency slightly.

### Node Reliability

Won't a dedicated node become a single point of failure for us? How will uptime and reliability be guaranteed?

<mark style="color:yellow;">Load Balancer with Automatic Failover</mark>

All our dedicated nodes are backed by redundant failovers in the same region. When you connect to your dedicated node, it connects to a load balancer/proxy which constantly monitors your node's health.

If your node starts to lag or goes down for some reason, the proxy instantly routes your traffic to a backup node in the same region without any downtime for you.

<mark style="color:yellow;">DNS Level Health Checks</mark>

Here's how it works:

* Your dedicated endpoint is `https://dedicated.shyft.to`, which currently points to a  server IP (e.g., `64.X.X.91`).
* Our system constantly monitors the health of that physical server.
* If the primary server goes down (due to a datacenter outage or any other issue), the DNS record automatically updates.
* It points your domain (`https://dedicated.shyft.to`) to a different, healthy server IP hosting an identical proxy.

The result? Your connection automatically reroutes to a working server, ensuring maximum uptime and minimal disruption to your service.&#x20;
