Bare Metal is a cloud computing service that provides dedicated physical servers. It combines the performance and security of traditional physical servers with the flexibility and ease of management of cloud servers, delivering high-performance, securely isolated, and exclusive physical servers in the cloud for your needs.
Your applications run directly on the server's processors and memory, with no virtualization overhead.
Understanding the following terms will help you better grasp Bare Metal:
Concept | Description |
Instance | An instance is equivalent to a bare metal, including computing resources such as CPU, memory, and storage. You can create, manage, and release instances through the console, and deploy applications and perform daily operations just as you would with an on-premises server. |
Image | An image serves as the "installation template" for a bare metal, containing a pre-installed operating system and software environment. You can quickly create bare metal instances based on images. |
Public IP | A unique address that enables two-way communication between your bare metal and the internet. It acts as the entry point for users to access applications (such as websites) deployed on the bare metal. |
Bandwidth | Refers to the maximum data transfer rate of the bare metal per unit of time (typically one second), usually measured in Mbps (megabits per second) or Gbps (gigabits per second). |
Data Transfer | Refers to the total amount of data actually sent and received by the bare metal over the public network within a given period, typically measured in GB or TB. |
1.Independent, High-Standard Infrastructure
We employ self-built cloud infrastructure, with core nodes located in the Equinix LA4 star-rated high-defense data center. This ensures full autonomy and control from the physical layer to the resource scheduling layer, providing you with a reliable hardware foundation featuring high-standard protection capabilities.
2.Premium Multi-Line Network & Optimized Routing
We offer multiple premium network lines such as CN2 GIA, CUII, and CMIN2, and leverage partnerships with global Tier-1 carriers to enable dynamic, intelligent routing. Your traffic is always transmitted via the optimal path, ensuring a low-latency, high-stability network experience—especially suitable for streaming, gaming, and real-time interactive services with stringent network requirements.
3.High-Performance Hardware for Demanding Workloads
The core value of Bare Metal lies in lossless performance and exclusive resource access. You will have dedicated access to all computing, memory, and I/O resources of the entire physical server. This makes Bare Metal the ideal choice for mission-critical applications with extreme demands for low latency and stability, such as financial trading systems, large-scale databases, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and AI training.
4.Simple, Straightforward Business Model
We adopt a simple billing model: "Fixed Bandwidth + Unlimited Data Transfer." Without navigating complex billing options, you gain exclusive bandwidth guarantees and unrestricted data transfer capabilities. This model makes cost forecasting extremely simple and is especially suited for businesses with continuous, stable, or unpredictable high-throughput traffic demands.
5.Comprehensive, Reliable Security Protection
Security is our foundation. We provide a multi-layered defense system that includes biometric access control at physical data centers, end-to-end data encryption, and seamless integration of network-layer security measures such as WAF (Web Application Firewall), DDoS protection, and CC attack mitigation. This system effectively defends against various threats from the network to the application layer, offering round-the-clock protection for your critical business and data.
Bare Metal can be widely applied to various scenarios with demanding performance and isolation requirements:
1.High-Performance Gaming and Real-Time Interaction
The user experience in online games depends directly on server response speed and processing capability. Bare Metal deliver sustained high-frequency CPU performance and stable network throughput, ensuring smooth operation even during high-load moments such as large-scale battles or scene transitions. They also provide game developers with a consistent operational environment for easier performance tuning.
2.Financial Trading and Core Databases
In such businesses, delays of even milliseconds or microseconds can translate into significant financial risk or customer churn. The deterministic performance and physical-level isolation offered by Bare Metal eliminate performance jitter caused by virtualization-induced resource contention, providing critical trading systems and databases with the reliability and predictability akin to physical servers, thereby serving as a robust foundation for the digital transformation of the financial industry.
3.Government and High-Compliance Services
For industries under strict regulation, data is not only an asset but also a responsibility. The complete resource exclusivity of Bare Metal ensures that data is physically isolated from others at the storage-media level, meeting the highest compliance requirements regarding data location, chain of custody, and access logs. This allows you to confidently deploy even the most sensitive core business systems.
4.High-Performance Computing and Big Data Analytics
Whether conducting complex scientific calculations or processing petabyte-scale data lakes, continuous and powerful computational output is essential. Bare Metal provide undiminished, raw computing power and support the configuration of specialized hardware such as high-speed NVMe SSDs and GPU acceleration cards, perfectly matching compute-intensive and data-intensive workloads to maximize processing efficiency.
