Bare Metal Server Solutions

The physical distance between your server and your end-users dictates the speed of your application. You can select our European Hubs (Netherlands or Denmark) to serve customers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa with minimal latency, connecting directly to major internet exchanges like AMS-IX. Alternatively, choose our North American Hubs in the New York area for ultra-low latency access to the US East Coast, Canada, and transatlantic connections to Europe. 

The chassis determines the physical expandability and density of your server. For web servers, firewalls, and compute nodes where rack space efficiency is key, a 1U Chassis like the HPE ProLiant DL360 offers immense power in a slim profile. If you are building a GPU server or a setup requiring multiple expansion cards, a 2U Chassis (like the HPE DL380) provides better airflow for high-performance components. For massive storage density, such as backup servers or data archives, our 4U Storage Chassis can hold 12, 24, or even 36 hard drives. 

Your CPU choice defines your server's character. If you need raw speed for gaming servers, high-frequency trading, or applications that rely on per-core performance, the Intel Xeon Scalable & E-Series are historically favored for their high single-core clock speeds. Conversely, for virtualization (VMware/Proxmox), containerization (Kubernetes), or rendering farms, the AMD EPYC is the king of multi-threading, offering up to 96 cores per socket to run hundreds of parallel tasks. 

Memory acts as the high-speed workspace for your CPU, and we use exclusively ECC (Error-Correcting Code) RAM to prevent system crashes. For web hosting and entry-level applications, 32GB to 64GB is ideal. The sweet spot for high-traffic e-commerce sites and virtualization nodes is typically 128GB to 256GB. For large-scale in-memory databases like SAP HANA or Redis, or for AI model training, you will likely require 512GB up to 1TB+ of RAM. 

Storage isn't just about space; it's about speed (IOPS). NVMe SSDs are the fastest option available, connecting directly to the PCIe bus for blazing read/write speeds, making them essential for operating systems and transaction-heavy databases. SATA SSDs offer a reliable balance of speed and capacity for standard applications. For bulk storage, backups, and media streaming libraries where capacity is king, SATA HDDs (Spinning Disks) offer the lowest cost per terabyte. Don't forget to select a Hardware or Software RAID level (like RAID 1 or RAID 10) to secure your data against drive failure. 

This is your server's pipe to the outside world. First, choose the size of your pipe (Port Speed), ranging from 1Gbps up to 100Gbps to handle traffic spikes without congestion. Next, select your Bandwidth Package. We offer Standard packages (25TB - 100TB) suitable for most enterprises, or Unmetered (Unlimited) packages which are essential for streaming, CDNs, and file hosts, allowing you to push data 24/7 at your full port speed with zero overage charges. 

We automate the installation so you are ready to go immediately. You can choose from a wide range of Linux distributions like Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, AlmaLinux, or Rocky Linux. 

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.

Cloud Repatriation is the strategic move of migrating workloads from public cloud environments (like AWS or Azure) back to dedicated bare metal or private infrastructure. In 2026, this trend is driven by three factors: cost, performance, and control. As companies mature, they realize that while the cloud is great for "bursty" startups, steady-state workloads are significantly cheaper on bare metal. Additionally, the lack of a hypervisor layer means 10-15% more CPU power is available for the actual application, and the elimination of unpredictable egress fees (which can reach $0.09 per GB in the cloud) allows for better financial planning.
