A bare-metal server is a physical server that does not allow the virtualization layer and directly installs the operating system and applications on physical hardware. Compared with traditional virtualization servers, bare-metal servers provide more direct and higher performance hardware access without virtualization software layer access. Bare metal servers are suitable for many industries and uses, especially those with high performance, security and controllability requirements. Here are some industries and scenarios for bare metal servers:

High performance computing

Bare metal servers are suitable for industries that require a lot of computing resources and high performance computing, such as scientific research, weather simulation, financial modeling, etc.

Financial service

The financial industry needs to deal with large amounts of real-time data and complex calculations, and bare metal servers can provide more direct hardware access to meet the requirements for performance and stability.

Science and engineering applications

In areas where large-scale scientific and engineering simulations are required, bare metal servers provide sufficient computational resources to support complex models and simulations.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning

For applications that require large-scale training of deep learning models, the hardware resources provided by bare metal servers can better support these compute-intensive tasks.

Game development and cloud gaming

In game development, bare metal servers can be used to build powerful game servers and real-time multiplayer gaming platforms. Bare metal servers are also a strong option for cloud gaming service providers.

Big data processing

Bare metal servers are suitable for large-scale data analysis and processing tasks, supporting distributed storage and computing.

High performance database

High-performance database systems typically require direct access to the physical hardware to ensure optimal performance of the database engine. Bare-metal servers have advantages in this regard.

Security sensitive area

In industries with high security requirements, such as government, military, and medical fields, the physical isolation of bare metal servers can provide greater security.

Network function virtualization

In the communications industry, bare-metal servers are used to run virtual network functions and support the requirements of network function virtualization.

Although bare-metal servers offer higher performance and control, virtualization technologies are still more flexible and resource-efficient in some cases. Whether you rent a bare-metal server or a virtualized server depends on your specific business needs, performance requirements, and budget considerations. In general, bare-metal servers are applicable to scenarios that require high performance and control and do not require the virtualization layer.
