What Is Bare Metal Server?

Bare Metal Server (BMS) is a way of provisioning dedicated physical servers for tenants. It provides the excellent computing performance and data security needed for core databases, key application systems, and high-performance computing (HPC). With the high scalability offered by cloud resources, you can apply for and use BMSs flexibly.

Basic Scenarios for BMS

• Application Scenarios

Core Database Scenario Some customers may demand that key database services must not be deployed on VMs but instead must be deployed on physical servers that provide dedicated resources, isolated networks, and guaranteed performance.

• High-Performance Computing Scenario

Dedicated physical servers can be used for high-performance computing scenarios, such as supercomputing centers, genome sequencing, and graphics rendering, where massive amounts of data need to be processed, requirements on computing performance, stability, and timeliness are high, and performance overheads caused by virtualization and hyperthreading are unacceptable

• Security-Demanding Scenario

To provide strictly-protected data required by customers and meet compliance regulations for service deployment in financial and security industries, use physical servers to ensure that resources can be exclusively used and to realize data isolation, controllability, and traceability
