Many companies looking for cloud infrastructure want the security and performance of dedicated hardware but also the experience—particularly around the provisioning, billing and management of cloud services. IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers are dedicated, single-tenant servers that can be provisioned and used in hourly and monthly billing increments. IBM also offers certified infrastructure for some of the most common and demanding enterprise workloads.
- Bare Metal Servers are available in hourly or monthly increments
- You get the latest-generation NVIDIA GPUs and x86 microarchitecture from Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC
- Multiple Bare Metal Servers can communicate on the IBM Cloud virtual private network as if stationed on the same rack
