Overview
Service Overview
Bare Metal Server does not use virtualization technology and is a high-performance cloud computing service that can allocate and use physically separated computing resources such as CPU and memory exclusively. It is not affected by other cloud users, allowing you to reliably operate performance-sensitive services.
Features
Easy and convenient computing environment setup: Through the web-based Console, you can easily handle everything from Bare Metal Server provisioning to resource management and cost management. You can receive a server with standard specs (CPU, Memory, Disk) allocated exclusively and use it immediately.
Providing High-Performance Computing Environment: We provide servers suitable for workloads that require large capacity and high performance—such as real-time (Real-Time) systems, HPC (High Performance Computing), and servers that demand excessive I/O usage—in a physically isolated environment.
Efficient Service Delivery: Ensure performance and stability through optimal server selection and in-house testing. Customers can choose the optimal resources that fit their service environment from the various specifications of Bare Metal Servers offered by Samsung Cloud Platform.
