Private (Bare Metal) Cloud

Build a Private IT Environment at a Lower Cost

For many reasons, some applications cannot run on a public or shared bank of servers. And when your company uses enough applications, has enough data to require an entire server, or has compliance standards that require a private server, it’s also natural to be inclined to just bite the bullet and host the server yourself.
But are you ready to give up that large chunk of your capital and take up more of your time to build and maintain this private “bare metal server?” A dedicated/bare metal cloud server keeps your data safe, secure and on a server of its own, all while being managed by the service provider. What more can you ask for?

How does it work?

A Dedicated Private (Bare Metal) Cloud Server (or Managed Server), allows your company to put applications on a single, private server located in a data center which is owned by a service provider. You decide on the specs, then the provider does the rest. Hardware, management and maintenance are all included in this service. This differs from a public cloud server in that you would have an entire server just for your company, rather than having your data hosted on a bank of various servers shared with thousands of other companies.

What’s in it for you?

Free up capital expenses. The server on which your data sits is owned by the provider you choose. No need to find the space and purchase top-of-the-line hardware. The provider has that taken care of.

Reduce IT expenses. Not only does the provider host the hardware and space, but they also maintain the server. There is no need to dedicate more time or hire additional personnel to ensure that your bare metal server is in good shape.

Less costly downtime. Your bare metal cloud servers are hosted in a data center that has spent millions of dollars on redundancy. Your remote users and/or additional sites are not dependent on your hub site’s power, equipment, connectivity and staff.

Pay for what you want and only that. Similar to many other services, this one in particular has the ability to be designed such that you only ever pay for what you actually use and nothing more or less. This frees you from the burden of ever having to pay for non-refundable perpetual licenses.

Customize, customize, customize. With a private cloud server you have the ability to design its functionality specific to your wants and needs. You can specify the hardware performance, network performance and even the storage performance.

Meet your needs. For mid to enterprise size companies, this technology has the ability to meet all of the security and compliance issues that you are required to meet due to the size of your organization.

Speed of Deployment. With a bare metal cloud server, some providers can have your server up and running within the hour. They have excess hardware and staff lying in wait for clients to give them the green light!
