Bare Metal Server Hosting

All Bare Metal Servers are single-tenant physical servers. There are no noisy neighbors in a Bare Metal environment, giving the user an isolated service with guaranteed service levels. You get direct root access to the base server hardware and you have complete control over the physical servers you lease, guaranteeing the maximum performance and granting the freedom to create your own bespoke server platform to host any service or application you choose.

Bare Metal Hosting Benefits

Bare Metal Servers provide several benefits, including:

Isolation

Layer 2 network virtualization can isolate customer workloads from other customer activity.

Bare Metal Servers offer a high degree of isolation, which is important for meeting stringent security requirements. Layer 2 network virtualization allows customer workloads to be completely isolated from other tenants, ensuring that data and applications are secure from potential threats that might come from shared environments.

This isolation also means that performance is not impacted by the activities of other users, providing consistent and reliable service. This makes it suitable for running sensitive applications and storing critical data.

Control

The servers do not come with a pre-installed hypervisor, which gives the user complete control over their server infrastructure.

Unlike virtualized environments, Bare Metal Servers do not come with a pre-installed hypervisor, allowing users to have complete control over their server infrastructure. This means you can choose and install the operating system that best fits your needs, as well as any applications and software configurations without any limitations imposed by a hypervisor.

This control also extends to hardware configurations and network settings, providing the flexibility to optimize the server's performance for specific workloads. You can tailor the server environment to meet unique requirements, ensuring that the infrastructure is aligned with your operational goals.

Visibility

Private cloud customers can have greater visibility into the underlying infrastructure of a Bare Metal Server within the cloud.

Bare Metal Servers provide enhanced visibility into the underlying infrastructure, which is particularly beneficial for private cloud customers. This increased visibility allows you to monitor and manage the server environment more effectively, gaining insights into performance metrics, resource utilization, and potential bottlenecks.

This transparency also aids in security management. You can track access logs, network traffic, and other critical data points, enabling you to detect and respond to security threats swiftly.

Processing Power

Having dedicated resources ensures consistent performance, supporting large, steady state workloads.

Since the resources of a Bare Metal Server are dedicated to a single tenant, there are no resource contention issues, resulting in consistent and reliable performance. This makes it suitable for running high-performance applications, data-intensive tasks, and other demanding workloads that require significant processing power.
