The future of manufacturing is intelligent, connected, and data-driven. From real-time production monitoring to advanced simulations and AI-powered predictive maintenance, the demands on your IT infrastructure are already great and growing every day. To stay ahead, you need more than just a one-size-fits-all virtualized cloud. We highly recommend the power, elasticity, and unmatched control of bare metal servers. OpenMetal’s Bare Metal Cloud is the ideal solution, delivering the performance, security, and flexibility modern manufacturing requires. If you’re searching for bare metal cloud for manufacturing, you’re in the right place.
OpenMetal’s Bare Metal Cloud is a perfect fit for industrial businesses like yours. Generic cloud options pale in comparison to this high-performance, on-demand infrastructure, perfectly suited for the needs of modern manufacturing.
Why OpenMetal’s Bare Metal Cloud for Manufacturing?
Traditional cloud providers offer a virtualized environment. While virtualization is great for many workloads, it introduces a hypervisor layer, adding overhead and potential performance bottlenecks. In manufacturing, every millisecond matters – think real-time control systems, high-frequency data acquisition, and low-latency communication with PLCs. Extra overhead means lost time and lost money. OpenMetal’s Bare Metal Cloud eliminates the hypervisor, providing direct access to the underlying hardware.
What does this mean for your manufacturing business?
- Maximum Performance: Applications run directly on the hardware, eliminating the performance tax of virtualization. This is ideal for compute-intensive tasks like simulations, AI/ML inference at the edge, and high-throughput data processing. This is why many in your industry are turning to dedicated servers for manufacturing and high performance computing for manufacturing.
- Predictable Performance: No noisy neighbors sharing your resources! You get consistent, predictable performance, essential for time-sensitive manufacturing processes.
High Speed and Unthrottled Performance (plus Granular Control)
Imagine running complex simulations for product design using CAD/CAM software, analyzing real-time sensor data from your production line using industrial IoT platforms, or deploying AI models for predictive maintenance with TensorFlow or PyTorch.
OpenMetal’s Bare Metal Cloud removes any limitations. You get dedicated processing power (including access to the latest generation CPUs and GPUs), high-bandwidth memory, and NVMe storage. Your applications can run smoothly without the lag or bottlenecks of shared resources.
You also gain granular control over:
- Hardware Configuration: Choose the exact CPU, RAM, storage, and networking configuration that meets your specific workload requirements. This level of customization is impossible with virtualized environments. For those seeking industrial bare metal cloud solutions, this control is essential.
- Operating System and Hypervisor Choices: Run your preferred OS (Linux, Windows Server, etc.) or even deploy your own hypervisor stack (like VMware vSphere or Proxmox VE) directly on the bare metal for maximum flexibility and control.
Total Security and Dedicated Resources
Manufacturing involves sensitive data, from proprietary designs to production processes. With OpenMetal’s Bare Metal Cloud, you have full control over who has access to your data. No more sharing a virtual neighborhood with strangers. It’s your private, secure environment giving you maximum peace of mind.
Top security advantages include:
- Physical Isolation: Your resources are physically isolated from other users, reducing the attack surface and minimizing the risk of cross-tenant contamination. This is a key advantage of choosing a private cloud for manufacturing.
- Control Over Network Security: Implement your own firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and VPNs directly on the bare metal servers for a robust security perimeter. Using a trusted VPN solution, such as those recommended by Cybernews like ExpressVPN or Surfshark, can boost data protection by encrypting connections and securing remote access.
Flexibility and Scalability On Demand with API-Driven Infrastructure
Manufacturing is dynamic. Demand can fluctuate, and new technologies pop up all the time. OpenMetal’s Bare Metal Cloud adapts with you. Need extra processing power for a new project? Done. Need to scale back during slower periods? No problem. You only pay for what you use, with the freedom to adjust resources in real time. This is made possible by our robust API.
If you need on-demand bare metal for factories, OpenMetal has you covered.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automate the provisioning and management of your bare metal servers using tools like Terraform or Ansible, supporting rapid deployment and scaling.
- Integration with Existing Workflows: Integrate OpenMetal’s API with your existing monitoring, orchestration, and CI/CD pipelines for seamless automation. This is especially important for manufacturing businesses implementing edge computing for manufacturing with bare metal.
