Description
IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers, part of the IBM Cloud Classic Infrastructure, are particularly well-suited for extensive, stable, and predictable workloads that depend on conventional cloud networking solutions. With the flexibility to customize configurations exceeding 11 million options, IBM offers competitive pricing that is, on average, 17% lower than that of competitors, all while providing 20 TB of bandwidth. The billing structure allows for a pay-as-you-go approach, whether on an hourly, monthly, or longer-term reserved basis, facilitating efficient cost management. Users can select between Intel® Xeon® and AMD EPYC™ processors and can also enhance their setups with cutting-edge NVIDIA Tesla GPUs. Furthermore, it is possible to deploy both bare metal and virtual servers within the same environment utilizing a shared private VLAN. This system allows clients to utilize desired tools and seamlessly integrate with various providers and partners according to their preferences. Ultimately, the flexibility in billing cycles further enhances user experience, as clients can choose the payment method that best suits their financial strategy. This comprehensive offering ensures that businesses can effectively tailor their cloud infrastructure to meet their specific operational needs.
Description
Self-service, remote deployment of operating systems such as Windows, CentOS, ESXi, and Ubuntu on physical servers transforms your data center into a bare metal cloud environment. This Metal-As-A-Service (MAAS) solution enables provisioning for a variety of systems, offering on-demand server capabilities alongside remote edge cluster management. With comprehensive infrastructure monitoring and discovery features, it seamlessly integrates with tools like Ansible, Chef, Puppet, SALT, and Juju, ensuring rapid installations from scratch. Supporting VMware ESXi, Windows, CentOS, RHEL, and Ubuntu, it allows for the creation of customized images with pre-installed applications, as well as configurations for disk and network settings. The platform utilizes an API-driven approach for essential services such as DHCP, DNS, PXE, and IPAM, while a REST API facilitates streamlined provisioning processes. Furthermore, it incorporates LDAP user authentication and role-based access control (RBAC) to enhance security measures. Hardware testing and commissioning are integral parts of the solution, which is designed to deliver the quickest operating system installation times in the industry, thanks to its highly optimized image-based installer. MAAS is compatible with all certified servers from leading vendors and efficiently discovers servers located in racks, chassis, and broader data center networks, while also supporting major system BMCs and chassis controllers. The combination of these features allows organizations to manage their infrastructure more effectively and drive operational efficiency.
