Dedicated Secure Servers

What are Bare Metal Servers?

A Bare Metal Server is a server that belongs to a single client who has full access to its hardware.

Advantages - the client does not share the server with any other client.

"Bare metal server" describes a physical computer that is dedicated to a single client. Typically, bare metal servers are available for rent from a data center provider.

At DarkVPS, we also call them "dedicated servers." What distinguishes them from virtual servers and other server products is that the physical metal box containing the processor, memory, and other components is rented as a single unit—or a single-tenant environment—and is not shared with other clients. The client chooses the operating system for the bare metal server and can customize the server to the specific needs of their workloads.

This type of server is usually delivered within 12-24 hours, after agreeing with the client on which Operating System they would like to have installed. In case additional software installation and configuration is needed, the server delivery time may be extended.

Evolution of Bare Metal Servers

The Evolution of Bare Metal
Before the internet and the cloud became ubiquitous, connectivity between physical locations was slow and very expensive. Organizations that wanted to provide their employees with access to business applications bought bare metal servers and maintained them in their server rooms. They used network cables to connect their employees' desktop computers or clients to the servers.
With the development of global communication infrastructure and the establishment of high-speed fiber optic connections between different locations, it became much easier and cheaper for organizations to consolidate and centralize their server rooms into data centers.
How the Cloud Changed the Bare Metal Server
The cloud evolved from this situation because there are many advantages and disadvantages when an organization chooses to manage its own bare metal servers in a data center. Scaling is slow, time-consuming, and requires large initial capital expenditures, as new hardware must be ordered and then installed. Scaling down is not cost-effective, because if the expensive server hardware has already been paid for, why not use it?

Bare Metal Server vs. Virtual Server
The lack of flexibility and the unnecessary costs of over-provisioning are why resource-sharing utilities became widely used and virtual servers (or virtual machines) became so popular. It was very easy to configure and launch a virtual server on a cloud provider's hardware. The cost of the hardware is shared among multiple clients, so each client pays less than they would for their own server.
Organizations quickly discovered that for some tasks, a virtual server is more efficient because it can be rented when needed, provisioned very quickly, and then shut down when no longer needed - and because it was rented, it did not require a large upfront payment.
