How Dedicated Bare Metal supercharges your IT infrastructure 

With Dedicated Bare Metal, you get full control over your physical infrastructure, unlocking predictable performance, enhanced reliability, and compliance without the complexity of owning and managing servers. Our bare metal servers are built to handle performance-intensive workloads, legacy applications, and specialized compute needs with ease.

High-performance configurations

With bare metal, businesses get more control over physical infrastructure than they could ever hope to achieve with a VM or other software-defined environment. Servers are available in the following forms:
  • High-density compute: A minimum of 12 processor cores (up to 40 cores per bare metal instance) and 192 GB of RAM per subscriber, with blades available in 256, 384, 512, and 768 GB RAM models
  • Low-density compute: At least 8 processor cores and 96 GB RAM per subscriber
  • Bare metal with GPUs
  • Bare metal with Optane memory
  • Bare metal with local storage (T0 and T2)
Redundant Gigabyte Ethernet ports:
  • 2× Fiber Channel ports
  • 1 Out of Band management port
If the subscriber has more than one unit, they can be physically distributed into different cabinets for additional fault tolerance.

Reliability when it matters

ThinkOn’s next-generation physical servers can take your existing infrastructure to the next level and optimize application performance where dedicated high compute, storage, and bandwidth are required.
