Elastic provisioning bare metal servers on a software-defined private cloud with up to 200 Gbps of dynamic network bandwidth.
Deploy from a software-defined, private cloud known as the IBM Cloud VPC (virtual private cloud). Go live across multizone regions in 10 minutes or less and expand capacity of modern apps with elastic provisioning and deprovisioning. Launch SAP and VMware solutions fast with preset profiles in a variety of sizes to match your core-to-memory ratio demands, all featuring 2nd and 4th Gen Intel Xeon processors with dynamic network bandwidth from 10 to 200 Gbps. Pay as you go with on-demand pricing, or reserve capacity in advance with 1-and-3-year term contracts for reduced rates up to 55% off.

Dedicated, no-hypervisor, bare metal servers on a software-defined cloud you control
Get 4x faster network throughput up to 100 Gbps.
An isolated, network orchestration layer eliminates the pod boundary.
Establish internal or external private network connections.
Ideal for midsize databases and common cloud applications with moderate traffic.
Ideal for RAM-intensive demands, such as large memory caching, in-memory analytics workloads and intensive database applications.
Ideal for running small to medium in-memory databases and OLAP workloads, such as SAP BW/4 HANA.
Add a secondary, local NVMe drive (JBOD 3.2TB NVMe u.2).
Specify an IOP tier to help avoid bottlenecks.
Implement local disk boot storage on redundant solid-state drives (SSDs).
Employ highly available private virtual networks with security-rich capabilities integrated into the compute, storage and subnet levels.
Control traffic for one or more bare metal servers with a collection of rules that act as your own virtual firewall.
Attach a floating IP so nothing in the connection path forces a decryption to your bare metal server.
Deploy in a more advanced environment for extra-high mobility and availability.
Build a high-performance computing file system by leveraging Terraform and IBM Spectrum Scale.
Control your IP space on 100 Gbps. Extend across cloud and on-premise.
The IBM Cloud VPC difference
Build a secure space in the public cloud. Accelerate high-production workloads with faster networking performance and deploy globally across multizone regions
Hyperscale provisioning
Deploy bare metal servers to multizone regions and use floating IPs.
Best-in-class networking performance
Get up to 200 Gbps of dynamic network bandwidth.
Developer-friendly
Use the REST-based API that’s aligned to industry norms, with easy integration into existing tooling.
Logically isolated
Extend your IP addresses to dedicated PCI and VLAN interface. Keep granular control over which applications can access your resources.
Security rich environment
Effectively maintain your regulated environment with support for KYOK, BYOK and the highest level of FIPS certification.
Cost-effective high availability
Strengthen fault tolerance and help keep key specific workloads from being under-utilized or over-utilized.
Being used as our primary production for our Web Apps, Internal Facing Apps, and our database warehouse.
When used globally or at multiple locations, duplicate systems can be eliminated and management costs.
Well suited for expanding an existing on-prem environment as migration is seamless. AWS/Azure are cheaper.
"We use IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers for our main production servers because we need the most dedicated, most stable performance we can get. ”

IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers on IBM Cloud Classic Infrastructure are ideal for large, steady state, predictable operations that rely on traditional cloud networking.
IBM Cloud Hardware Security Module (HSM) 7.0 from Gemalto protects cryptographic infrastructure by more securely managing, processing and storing cryptographic keys inside a tamper-resistant hardware device.
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a network construct that makes it possible to create broadcast domains at the OSI Model layer-2 level.
In particular, this offering is focused on US Federal Government Customers. IBM Consulting and VSO will provide Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (HCIaaS) offering with a Cost-per-Unit model on the C2E vehicle.
