Unleash the Hardware.

While our Virtual Servers offer incredible performance, certain workloads demand the elimination of the hypervisor entirely. When you provision a Bare Metal server at Plex Scale, you are renting the entire physical machine. No shared resources, no virtualization tax, just raw silicon directly at your command.

Architecture

Direct Hardware Control

Bare metal gives you the keys to the kingdom. Because there is no host operating system sitting between your applications and the hardware, you experience the lowest possible latency for memory and disk I/O. This is critical for massive, high-transaction relational databases.

Every bare metal server includes dedicated Out-of-Band management (IPMI/iDRAC) via a secure VPN. This allows you to power cycle the machine, view console output, and mount custom ISOs at the BIOS level, even if you completely wipe the primary operating system or misconfigure the network.

Networking on bare metal is uncompromised. Each server is provisioned with a dedicated 10Gbps or 25Gbps uplink port directly to our core switches. We also support Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP) and BGP sessions, allowing you to announce your own IP space from our facilities.

Your Private Cloud Engine

Run your own hypervisors or deploy massive container orchestration clusters.

Capabilities

Total Hardware Dominance

Hypervisor Hosting

Install Proxmox, ESXi, or your own custom KVM stack to build your own private cloud.

BGP & BYOIP

Establish BGP sessions with our routers to announce your own ARIN/RIPE assigned IP subnets.

Hardware RAID

Utilize dedicated LSI RAID controllers with battery-backed cache for extreme disk reliability.

Engineered For Scale

Hosting Companies

Use our bare metal as the foundation for your own hosting company. Install a hypervisor and carve the server into smaller VMs for your clients.

Big Data & Analytics

Hadoop clusters and massive Elasticsearch deployments require unhindered access to RAM and disk I/O to process terabytes of data quickly.

Video Rendering

Utilize every single CPU cycle for continuous FFmpeg transcoding or 3D rendering farms without worrying about hypervisor CPU steal.

FAQ

Common Questions

How long does a bare metal server take to deploy?

Standard configurations deploy automatically in 15-30 minutes. Custom hardware requests generally require 1-3 business days for rack-and-stack.

Is there a setup fee?

We do not charge setup fees for standard bare metal configurations on monthly or annual contracts.

Can I install custom operating systems?

Yes. Via the dedicated IPMI interface, you can mount any ISO file to the server virtually and install whatever operating system you prefer.

What happens if hardware fails?

We monitor server health. If a drive, RAM stick, or power supply fails, our on-site technicians will replace it immediately, usually within a 2-hour SLA window.
