Overview

Scalable Bare Metal (SBM) provides pre-defined server configurations billed by the hour, deployed in minutes and wiped after deletion; configurations are fixed. Enterprise Bare Metal (EBM) provides customizable dedicated servers billed by the month, with iDRAC/IPMI access, custom OS installation and control over storage and RAID; it is priced on request and is not designed for fast scaling. Both include 24/7/365 support and 1-10 Gbit public and private networking, and can be managed through the customer portal, REST API, CLI or Terraform. Load balancing (Layer 4 TCP and Layer 7 HTTP/HTTPS) and Cloud Storage on OpenStack Swift with triple replication are offered in selected data centers.

Before you choose

Check before choosing

  • SBM configurations (RAM, storage, uplink) are fixed and cannot be changed; custom specifications require EBM.
  • EBM is not a highly scalable infrastructure solution; pair it with SBM for fast scaling.

More details & conditions: Backup and Recovery

Back up with Duplicity, Veeam and Cloudberry

Restore earlier or deleted objects using object and trash versioning

Load Balancing

Distribute traffic across servers at Layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS) and Layer 4 (TCP)

Workflow boundary and exception handling
  • SBM hardware profiles are identical across locations, so a workload can be redeployed in another location, but RAM, storage and uplink cannot be changed on an existing flavor.
  • A deprovisioned SBM server is powered off and wiped; data is not retained or recoverable, so data must be backed up before deletion.
