Today, companies of all sizes are moving from traditional computing services to cloud-based computing. The flexibility, scalability, and increased performance and uptime of this technology make it a wise choice for any business.
Choosing to move to cloud-based computing solutions does not mean giving up the benefits of a private server. Through the use of bare metal servers, companies and businesses have the best of both worlds, including a private server that is colocated within a data center.
The Benefits of Bare Metal Servers
Housed in a cabinet in a data center, a bare metal server is a single tenant physical server. All of the computing resources of the server are used by the single tenant. The tenant also has the ability to install their own operating system, add applications and software, and configure their own security systems and protocols.
Security with a bare metal server is different than security with a virtual machine, which is also cloud-based. The abilty to isolate and contain all aspects of the server makes this particularly critical for businesses where security is a signficant concern, either due to sensitive data or proprietary software or applications.
Customization of Operations
It is possible to deploy multiple bare metal servers to ensure the computing storage and workload requirements are available. In addition, companies can prioritize workloads and customize RAM and CPU to meet their needs.
The life cycle of a bare metal server housed in a data center is proactively maintained and managed by the data center. These servers have life cycles of up to 5-10 years, with changes in technology and server capabilities one of the leading factors for upgrading the existing system.
