Managed Bare Metal
Build Bare Metal clouds anywhere instantly
Unleash the full potential of your Bare Metal infrastructure in data centers, co-locations, and edge sites, using Kubernetess.
Platform9 brings cloud agility to your Bare Metal infrastructure
Automate and offload your manual bare metal lifecycle management tasks from anywhere with Platform9’s cloud-based delivery model. Realize the full potential of your hosts with elastic and flexible bare metal clouds and the ability to deploy or redeploy instantly.
Bare Metal limitations could slow down your cloud initiatives
It takes weeks to deploy
Not easy to change what servers do based on business needs
Unused capacity
Physical servers sit idle waiting for the next ‘perfect workload’
Unnecessary license spend
Workloads consume entire hypervisor hosts
How does it work?
100% remote, 100% managed. Platform9 creates and manages your Bare Metal cloud using two key components:
SaaS management plane
Access physical or public cloud resources easily
Gain visibility to your infrastructure with a single pane of glass
Centralize bare metal deployments, management, and troubleshooting
Manage bare metal cloud, on-prem, and edge from any location
Bare Metal controller
Operates on your IPMI (or management) network
Detects your servers
Builds your bare metal cloud
Deploys a variety of stacks including Kubernetes clusters, virtualization stacks, and more
Make Bare Metal Your Advantage
100% high performance
Let your applications run at maximum performance all the time. No Contention EverBuild private clouds for Virtual Machines with zero effort
Build a 100+ node cloud in minutes. Upgrade OS with easeRun Kubernetes on Bare Metal
Orchestrate bare metal to build Kubernetes on Infrastructure as code. Self-healing, seamless movement of nodes between clusters & effortless scalingEdge runs on metal
Gain complete control of Edge deployments, build, patch, upgrade, monitor and rebuild. 100% remote, 100% ManagedUse cases
High performance computing
Build out a high performance on-premise bare metal cloud with very little effort. Automate deployment of performance-sensitive workloads directly on physical servers, such as:
- Databases
- Big Data
- Analytics
- AI/ML
Retail edge
Fully automate remote deployment of thousands of retail stores end to end using our remote Bare Metal capability combined with our Virtualization and/or Kubernetes offerings. Deploy and manage any or all of below using automation:
- Operating system
- Network configuration
- Virtualization / Kubernetes
- Containerized applications for POS and other use cases
Telco / 5G edge
Fully automate deployment of vRAN or packet core software at tens of thousands of cell tower / remote telco edge locations, using our remote Bare Metal capability combined with our virtualization and/or Kubernetes offerings. Automate deployment and management of:
- Operating system
- Telco networking stack
- Kubernetes / virtualization
- Containerized applications
