Bare Metal Servers & Infrastructure Solutions

A bare metal server is a physical server dedicated to a single user. Unlike a Virtual Private Server (VPS), there is no hypervisor layer sharing resources between multiple tenants. This means you get 100% of the CPU, RAM, and NVMe storage power. It is the best choice for high-performance workloads like AI, big data, and gaming where consistent latency and raw power are non-negotiable.

Technically, yes, but there is a modern distinction.While a traditional dedicated server often involves manual setup and monthly billing, a bare metal server at NovoServe is part of a "bare metal cloud" ecosystem. This means you get the power of dedicated hardware with the automation, API control, and rapid deployment typical of cloud environments.

Bare metal cloud combines the performance of physical hardware with the flexibility of the cloud. It allows developers to provision, manage, and scale dedicated servers using APIs or a control panel. In 2026, businesses are moving to bare metal cloud to avoid the "virtualisation tax" and unpredictable costs of public clouds while maintaining high-speed throughput.

Bare metal is ideal for industries where performance and security are critical. This includes AdTech (low-latency bidding), FinTech (secure, high-speed transactions), Gaming (low jitter), VPN providers (high bandwidth), and AI/ML startups (GPU-intensive compute). Any industry running large-scale, steady-state workloads will see better ROI on bare metal.

Absolutely. Connectivity is our core strength. We offer a "Looking Glass" tool and speed test files for our Netherlands, Denmark, and New York data centers. You can test your latency against our 16+ Tbps backbone and see how our Tier-1 transit partners (Arelion, Cogent, NTT) perform for your specific geographic audience.

You can also request for a free trial of bare metal server if that helps you with your decision making.

Our infrastructure is strategically located in premium Tier-III data centers in the Netherlands (Amsterdam and Rotterdam), Denmark (Copenhagen), and the United States (New York). These locations are chosen for their proximity to major internet exchanges and their role as global connectivity hubs.

Actually, the opposite is often true. While a bare metal server has a higher entry price than a small VPS, you can save 30% to 50% on total cost of ownership (TCO) for large-scale workloads. By avoiding the hidden costs of public cloud egress fees and the "vCPU tax," bare metal provides a more predictable and cost-effective budget for growing enterprises.

Security is handled at both the physical and network levels. Physically, your servers are in Tier-III guarded facilities. At the network level, we provide in-house DDoS protection that mitigates attacks before they hit your OS. Since you are the only tenant on the hardware, you are also protected from side-channel attacks that affect multi-tenant virtual environments.

Yes. We provide high-spec configurations including GPU servers for machine learning and high-density storage servers for big data. These are built on enterprise hardware from Intel and AMD, optimized for the massive parallel processing and I/O throughput these workloads demand.

At NovoServe, we don't believe in basic helpdesks. Our support model gives you direct access to senior network and system engineers. Whether you need help with a custom network configuration or hardware optimisation, you speak directly to the people who manage our global 16+ Tbps infrastructure.
