Overview

Service Overview

Bare Metal Server does not use virtualization technology and a high-performance cloud computing service that can allocate and use physically separated computing resources such as CPU and memory individually. Since it is not affected by other cloud users, you can reliably operate performance-sensitive services.

Features

  • Easy and convenient computing environment setup: Through the web-based console, you can easily use 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 Provision: We ensure performance and stability through optimal server selection and in-house testing. Customers can select the optimal resources for their service environment through the various specifications of Bare Metal Servers offered by Samsung Cloud Platform.

Provided Features

Bare Metal Server provides the following features.

  • Auto Provisioning and Management: Through the web-based console, you can easily use everything from Bare Metal Server provisioning to resource management and cost management.
  • Providing various types of server types and OS images: Provides CPU/Memory/Disk resources of standard server types, and offers various standard OS images.
  • Storage Connection: Provides additional connected storage besides the OS disk. You can connect and use Block Storage, File Storage, and Object Storage.
  • Network Connection: You can connect the general subnet/IP settings of the Bare Metal Server and the Public NAT IP. Provides a local subnet connection for communication between servers. This operation can be modified on the detail page.
  • Monitoring: You can view monitoring information such as CPU, Memory, Disk, which are computing resources, through Cloud Monitoring. To use the Cloud Monitoring service of Bare Metal Server, you need to install the Agent. Please be sure to install the Agent for stable Bare Metal Server service usage. For more details, refer to Bare Metal Server Monitoring Metrics.
  • Backup and Recovery: Bare Metal Server’s Filesystem backup and recovery can be used through the Backup service.
  • Efficient Cost Management: You can easily create/terminate servers as needed, and because billing is based on actual usage time, you can use it cost-effectively in various unpredictable situations.
  • Local disk partition creation You can create and use up to 10 local disk partitions.
  • Terraform provision: Provides an IaC environment through Terraform.
