Bare Metal: Unmatched Performance and Control
Our bare metal servers are designed for organisations that require specific performance, security, control, and compliance that shared or virtualised environments cannot meet.
We provide solutions that can be provisioned worldwide through various regional points of presence, ensuring that we meet data sovereignty requirements for sensitive customers in industries such as government, finance, insurance, banking, and healthcare.
What Makes Us Different
Dedicated Resources
Enjoy dedicated physical resources without sharing CPU, RAM, or disk space with other tenants. This results in higher performance since there's no virtualisation layer introducing latency.
Customisable Configurations
Choose specific hardware configurations to suit your application's needs—from CPU type to storage capacity—ensuring optimal performance for specialised workloads.
Isolation and Security
The physical isolation offered by bare metal servers enhances security and compliance. This is vital for businesses in regulated sectors that require stringent measures for data protection.
Full Control
With root access to your bare metal server, you have complete control over installations of custom operating systems and unique security policies.
High Performance
Experience consistent performance without the 'noisy neighbour' effect common in shared environments. This is crucial for applications requiring predictable response times.
Enhanced Security and Compliance
The dedicated nature of bare metal servers provides a secure and sovereign environment that meets the regulatory requirements of industries such as finance and healthcare.
Flexibility in Management
Customers can take a dedicated rack in our data centre or opt for a virtual dedicated rack with assigned servers purely for their use. Self-managed or RackCorp-managed network devices are also available.
Rapid Provisioning
Our bare metal servers are available in popular configurations ready for immediate use in RackCorp data centres. For specific client requirements, we can custom build servers based on exact specifications needed for your workloads.
Key Benefits
