The term bare metal computing refers to running workloads directly on physical servers without a virtualization layer. This requires bare-metal servers to be dedicated to a single customer (known as a tenant). By contrast, in traditional cloud computing, hosts are typically shared between multiple, unrelated tenants.
Bare metal computing is, therefore, significantly more expensive to implement than traditional cloud computing. The payback for the additional expense is superior performance, predictability, and security compared to traditional cloud computing.
There are two main reasons for these improvements. Firstly, bare metal servers completely eliminate the “noisy neighbor” issues associated with traditional cloud computing. Secondly, bare metal servers can be highly customised and tightly controlled to meet specific performance needs.
