Bare Metal Servers.
Get a ANS bare metal server for unparalleled compute performance.
ANS bare metal server
A bare metal server is a compute server solely dedicated to you. Unlike a virtual machine host, which is often based on the same underlying hardware, a bare metal server only consumes resources used by your applications. This means that, unlike a shared platform, you’ll never need to worry about ‘noisy neighbours’ using up the resource pool.
Suitable for a wide range of use cases, from web hosting to databases, dedicated servers power businesses across a wealth of sectors and industries.
At ANS, we understand how important it is for your bare metal server to have consistently high, unparalleled performance as well as application availability and maximum security.
Providing dedicated compute and storage, a dedicated server guarantees a level of performance and uptime that shared resources simply can’t compete with. And, for those dealing with sensitive data, the dedicated resource provides the additional peace of mind that can only come from not sharing infrastructure with any other.
Our team of specialist solution architects design and build your perfect bare metal server to meet the exact needs of your applications. With backup as standard, bleeding-edge security packages and no hidden bandwidth charges, we provide the perfect online environment for your business to grow.
As a ANS customer, you have access to our award-winning support, which has earned us the highest Net Promoter Score in the industry.
Bare metal servers are ideal for:
- High-performance and data-intensive applications
- Big data analytics
- SAP solutions
- Container-based solutions
- GPU-intensive solutions
- High-security applications
