Zero Virtualization Overhead
Run directly on hardware. No hypervisor stealing CPU cycles or adding latency. Critical for HPC, real-time, and latency-sensitive workloads.
Full Hardware Control
IPMI/KVM access. BIOS settings. Hardware RAID. Install any OS, any kernel, any driver. Your hardware, your rules.
Why Bare Metal?
No virtualization tax. Full hardware control. Predictable performance.
How It Works
From selection to production in minutes — not days.
Why Not VMs?
VMs are great — until you hit the virtualization tax. CPU steal, noisy neighbors, and hypervisor limits kill performance for demanding workloads.
Bare metal gives you the full machine. Consistent performance. Full control. The price is often lower than equivalent VM instances at scale.
