Bare Metal Cloud

With dedicated hardware and no hypervisor, each server’s full processing power is available to applications, resulting in better performance than a comparable virtual server. Delivering roughly four times the performance levels of traditional VM-based clouds, high-I/O workloads, such as large database applications, can run at peak performance. Cornerstone Bare Metal Cloud is also highly consistent since resources are not oversubscribed among tenants. .

Cornerstone Bare metal Clouds provide complete isolation and protection of an organization’s applications and data from both outside intrusions and other tenants. Customers get assurance that workloads will run consistently and that provisioned resources will always be available. Full control of the server environment provides customers the capability to implement custom security configurations while still benefiting from the provider’s hardened security perimeter. IT organizations can meet essential compliance checks that require data isolation without sacrificing the benefits of the public cloud.

Utilizing best-of-breed compute, storage and network technology, Artisan’s experienced staff and Cloud Architect℠ software can quickly provision and configure a Cornerstone Bare Metal Cloud specifically for an organization’s business needs. Artisan Infrastructure’s answer for the modern data center provides a business-focused approach to technology, simplified management for customers, increased speed of delivery and a repeatable, standardized automation and orchestration approach.

Many IT organizations are still trying to determine how best to move their existing applications to the cloud. Migration teams can use bare-metal services to mirror their on-premises environment and migrate applications with ease. Granular customization helps them meet application dependencies and gain benefits such as scalability, flexibility, and agility. Migration teams can avoid the costs, complexity, and risks associated with ripping and replacing application infrastructure, and can eliminate the time consuming process of re-architecting applications for a public cloud environment.

Multitier applications can have diverse requirements that necessitate the use of both bare-metal and virtual infrastructure. For example, database tiers typically require the high performance and complete isolation of bare metal. Other components, such as web tiers, will instead benefit from the agility and elasticity of a virtualized environment. Users can achieve an ideal blend of benefits by deploying the right application tiers to the right form of infrastructure.

High demand and oversubscription in virtual environments can impact performance. Applications requiring high performance consistency, such as those not designed to scale in and out to accommodate fluctuations in demand, can also benefit from bare-metal clouds.

Artisan’s Cloud Architecture provides the security, autonomy, control and visibility needed to sustain a reliable cloud delivery platform for solution providers.
