Integrated Bare Metal

OpenMetal Bare Metal Server

OpenMetal Cloud With Integrated Bare Metal

Modern deployments leverage both the power of the cloud and the power of bare metal. Get direct access to your server so that you can get the most performance out of your applications.

Bare metal cloud gives you the ultimate blend of customization, control, security, cost-efficiency, and performance. Choose exactly which software you want to run, configure resources and VMs with full root-level access, and eliminate the security and performance concerns of sharing your hardware with other tenants.

Private Cloud + Bare Metal

A hybrid approach utilizing both private cloud and bare metal offers several organizational benefits and use cases.

Flexibility and Customization

Run specific workloads where they excel and create a cloud environment tailored to your needs. You can dedicate bare metal resources to critical applications requiring predictable performance and isolation, while leveraging the scalability and elasticity of private cloud for less resource-intensive tasks.

Performance and Control

Both bare metal servers and private cloud offer dedicated resources, making them ideal for latency-sensitive applications or data processing tasks. And with bare metal, you have complete control over the hardware and software stack, allowing for fine-grained optimization and security configurations. This level of control is often crucial for sensitive data or compliance requirements.

Cost Optimization

Your OpenMetal bare metal and private cloud can both scale quickly for burstable workloads or seasonal spikes, optimizing resource allocation. Because you are leasing all the resources of the hardware, not just the virtual ones, you’ll also avoid paying for unused resources in a public cloud. See our Private Cloud Advantages vs Public Cloud article for more details.

Disaster Recovery and Redundancy

Implement resilient infrastructure by using bare metal for critical applications and the private cloud for backups and disaster recovery, ensuring business continuity.

Security

Dedicated hardware means you have full control over security measures and data locations, without other tenants to worry about. Bare metal provides the highest level of hardware control and isolation, ideal for highly sensitive data or applications with strict security compliance requirements.

Innovation and Development

Utilize the cloud’s rapid provisioning and scalability for testing new applications and scaling existing ones, while maintaining bare metal for stable, core operations.

Bare Metal With IPMI

IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a valuable, easy to use platform management tool that provides a wide range of features to help you keep your servers running smoothly. In conjunction with our high-capacity dedicated bare metal servers, any business from the SMB to the enterprise can run large, complex systems with confidence.

Key Benefits

  • Allows for managing servers in remote physical locations.
  • Constantly monitors server health and issues advance warnings of possible system failures.
  • Acts independently of the server and is always accessible.
  • Enables users to access and make BIOS changes without SSH login or operating system access.
  • Allows for server recovery even if the server is switched off.
  • Is a universal standard supported by the vast majority of hardware vendors.

Main Features

  • Monitor and supervise servers: IPMI can monitor server health, including temperatures, power consumption, voltage, and other factors.
  • Recover and restart servers: IPMI can be used to power on, power off, and restart servers remotely.
  • Log server states: IPMI can log server events, such as power changes, hardware failures, and system errors.
  • List all server inventory: IPMI can provide a list of all hardware installed in a server.

OpenMetal Private Networking

Public Networking With Bare Metal

All OpenMetal clouds come with a base public IPv4 block or you can bring your own /24 or larger for announcement from our Edge Routers. Additional blocks are available for a fee.  Major features of your public connectivity include:

  • Each Pod (Availability Zone) comes with 200+Gbits of edge connectivity
  • 20gbit (2X10gbit LAG) per server connectivity
  • IPs can be directly connected, with firewall protection in place, to public internet for maximum throughput
  • IPs can also be connected to cloud Load Balancers and routed to private IP space for maximum flexibility
  • Your hardware lives on VLANs specific to you
  • dDOS Protection included for up to 10gbits per IP
  • Within VLAN traffic, up to 10gbits, via public or private IP space, is included with your cloud
  • Only traffic exiting your VLANs to the public internet is billable at fair egress pricing after included base egress
