Yes, it's Avotons, furthermore many of the virtualized Scaleway 
x86_64 share a network connected storage controller with many CPU 
sockets (called LSSD). While this allows migration, it also adds 
some latency.
I'm running the nightly build server on a bare-metal Avoton, 
about 3x slower single-core than a Xeon, but you get 8 of 'em and 
full virtualization support

The Jenkins at ci.dlang.org is running on a 
https://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedibox-lt though it 
idles so much that I consider to use EC2 spot instances as 
workers https://github.com/dlang/ci/issues/37.
