Standard Server Plans¶
Our standard server configurations are generally available to all users.
Availability varies by location, customer demand, and data center capacity, especially for on demand and spot market servers. You can check current capacity and inventory levels on our Capacity Dashboard. Other ways of checking can be found on the Inventory and Capacity documentation page.
Pricing and availability is published on the Servers Product page. Rates vary between on-demand, reserved servers, the spot market, and location.

Legacy Server Plans¶
Equinix Metal has a variety of server plans that are replaced by newer-generation configurations or have components that can not be procured from our suppliers, so these server plans become legacy plans. Legacy server plans are non-replenishable inventory but are otherwise fully supported. You can purchase legacy plan inventory On Demand or through Reserved Servers, pending availability.
