At OpenMetal, every bare metal server is deployed with dual high-speed 10Gbps uplinks, providing a critical layer of both performance scalability and fault tolerance. To fully leverage these redundant connections, OpenMetal configures these uplinks as a bonded logical interface using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).

At OpenMetal, we design our bare metal servers for high availability, ensuring resilience across private clouds and storage clusters. To protect the operating system from hardware failures, many servers feature dual boot drives in RAID 1, providing redundancy and seamless recovery.
