# Upgrade and downgrade private bandwidth (vRack) via the OVHcloud API

## Objective

With the private network, compatible dedicated servers benefit from a guaranteed minimum bandwidth of 1 Gbps. In the event of increased activity, this bandwidth can be increased on compatible servers.

**In this guide, we explain how you can easily increase or decrease the private bandwidth of a dedicated server.**

## Requirements

- A [vRack](https://www.ovhcloud.com/pl/network/vrack/) service activated in your account
- A [Dedicated Server](https://www.ovhcloud.com/pl/bare-metal/) compatible with the vRack
- Access to the [OVHcloud API](/pl/guides/manage-and-operate/api/first-steps.md)

:::warning
Please note that this option is not available on dedicated servers located in the APAC (Asia-Pacific) region, which come with an unmetered 25Gbit/s private bandwidth.
