What is a bare metal server?
Bare metal servers are physical, single-tenant servers that are dedicated to individual customers. They are fully customisable and give users the flexibility to run the server as they require. Bare metal servers can support multiple operating systems as well as hypervisors if required.
Who should use a bare metal server?
Bare metal dedicated servers are suitable for a breadth of industries, across wide range of use cases, from web hosting to databases. Typically, applications that require large amounts of memory, high core counts and high bandwidth are well suited to bare metal solutions. Use cases include:
- Cryptocurrency exchanges
- High-performance and data-intensive applications
- Big data analytics
- Container-based solutions
- GPU-intensive solutions
Custom-configured to your exact requirements
Bare metal servers can be in preconfigured form or custom-configured to exact specifications for resources such as CPU and RAM. Our team of experts will consult, design and build your perfect bare metal server to meet the exact needs of your workloads.
Servers built for speed
We understand how important it is for your bare metal server to have consistently high, unparalleled performance. By eliminating the need for a hypervisor layer, bare metal servers can guarantee a level of performance and uptime that shared resources and public cloud solutions simply can’t compete with.
Running containers on bare metal
Bare metal servers are used with container technology, as they bring another level of performance capability. Users can run containers such as Docker and Kubernetes on top of bare metal servers to provide alternatives to VMs. As containers use less memory and save resources, they are perfect for developing applications.
