Bare Metal Hardware (HWaaS)

Fully dedicated for performance, security.

Home Bare Metal Hardware (HWaaS)

Overview


Livewire’s Bare Metal Servers are fully dedicated servers providing maximum performance and secure, single tenancy. No hypervisor means you get direct root access to 100% of your server resources. Customize it all with hundreds of configurations to choose from. We provide enterprise grade Cisco UCS C series, B series and HP hardware with bundled setup, management and DDoS Protection. Leverage the power of dedicated order to customized hardware with the flexibility of software defined storage, software defined networking and datacenter SLA.

With Livewire’s bare metal cloud servers, users can possess the power and security of dedicated server hardware with the networking connectivity and storage of a data center. Even though the bare metal cloud is an IaaS product, it gives more flexibility to the end-user by allowing them to manage their own hypervisor or OS installed on the server. Ultimately, providing end-user the best of both worlds: the flexibility, scalability, and predictability of a cloud service and the hardware control of a dedicated server.

FAQ

1) How does an HCI solution make IT teams more efficient?

Eliminating traditional IT silos and managing everything from a single tool means lower OPEX and CAPEX for your IT infrastructure. And with HCI, you don’t have to sacrifice security, flexibility or scalability. But some solutions make capitalizing on HCI efficiency easier than others. Learn why VMware has the most HCI customers in production worldwide in this infographic.

2) Can an HCI solution efficiently and cost-effectively grow when, where and how I need it?

Data center scaling and evolving can be a costly, complicated process. Luckily, a key benefit of HCI is its ability to scale and change as needed. VMware HCI in particular is designed for simplicity and scalability for rapidly changing business needs. Only VMware has the complete set of offerings for a fully software-defined data center in production today.

3) What is the difference between hyperconverged and converged infrastructure?

Hyperconverged and converged IT infrastructures both integrate the four components of a data center: storage, compute, networking and management. While hyperconverged systems accomplish this through software, making it hardware-agnostic, converged solutions rely on hardware. A converged infrastructure data center uses many of the same products as traditional IT, just with a simplified architecture and easier management.

4) When should I use hyperconverged infrastructure?

• Virtual desktop infrastructure: HCI streamlines and simplifies VDI, which has the potential for lots of IT complexity and storage needs. HCI combines everything that’s needed for VDI into one package, and provides just enough storage needed, remaining cost-efficient.

• Edge computing: HCI makes it easy to design and build small edge or branch environments without a lot of on-site IT staff, and to scale up quickly as needed.

• General workload consolidation and file storage: HCI makes sizing and migrating workloads simpler. These workloads can include infrastructure (DNS, DHCP, Active Directory, print servers), database servers, application servers and file servers.

• Testing and development: HCI gives developers a cost-effective testing environment that runs similarly to production but without a lot of investment needed.

• Enabling a hybrid cloud environment: HCI can reduce the time and cost involved with transitioning to a hybrid cloud and when moving virtual machines between on-premises servers and private or public clouds.

5) What applications do companies run on hyperconverged infrastructure?

Companies are using hyperconverged infrastructure to run most types of business-critical, or tier-one, applications thanks to its high availability. Other common workloads that run on hyperconverged systems include database software like Oracle, virtual desktop infrastructure, collaboration applications, analytics, remote management, and testing environments.
