What is Greennode Bare Metal?

Overview

Greennode Bare-Metal, with its powerful hardware configuration, is an optimal choice for computing needs that require power and flexibility. By using a physical server without the middle layer of a virtual operating system, Bare-Metal provides a stable and virtualization-independent environment, helping to optimize system performance.

Greennode Bare-Metal's powerful hardware configuration includes components such as high-performance CPU, large memory capacity, and high-speed SSD drive, along with extremely powerful GPU configuration. This ensures that your application is able to process and access data quickly and efficiently.

Greennode Bare-Metal is not only delivers high performance, but also offers flexible customization, allowing you to choose the right hardware configuration to suit the specific requirements of your application or project. This makes Bare-Metal a superior solution for applications that require power and flexibility, such as big data processing, machine learning, and complex multitasking applications.

Greennode Bare-Meta's combination of physical isolation and computing power makes it the ideal choice for businesses that want to take advantage of the benefits of physical servers without sacrificing the flexibility of cloud computing environment. At the same time, Bare-Metal is a sophisticated combination of performance and compatibility with a wide range of applications and technologies, highlighting its important role in meeting increasingly diverse and complex requirements. of the world of modern technology.

System architecture

Greennode Bare-Meta works with other cloud services to provide computing, storage, network functions.

  1. Bare-metals are deployed in multiple availability zones (AZs) connected with each other through an internal network. If an AZ becomes faulty, other AZs in the same region will not be affected.
  2. Virtual Private Cloud allows you to create a dedicated network for Bare-metals and configure subnets and security groups. Bare-metals in a VPC can communicate with the external network through EIPs (bandwidth support required).
  3. Image Management Service (IMS) allows you to install OSs on Bare-metal or create Bare-metal using private images for rapid service deployment.
  4. Elastic Volume Service (EVS) delivers flexible storage solutions, adapting seamlessly to varying computing requirements.

Access Methods

 The public cloud provides a web-based service management system (management console). You can access Greennode Bare-metal through the management console or HTTPS APIs. The two access methods differ as follows:

  1. API: If you want to integrate Greennode Bare-metal into a third-party system for secondary development, use APIs to access the BMS service through APIs document.
  2. Management console: For all other purposes, use the management console through https://baremetal.console.greennode.ai/

How does Bare-metal work?

Greennode Bare-Meta servers function by providing direct access to the underlying physical hardware, eliminating unnecessary layers and complexities related to server access, resulting in a more efficient system. Here's a breakdown of the operation of a bare metal server:
  1. Operating System Installation: Users have the flexibility to choose their preferred operating system (OS) and install it directly on the bare metal server. This eliminates the need for virtualization software, offering greater control and customization options. Additionally, maintaining an up-to-date operating system is crucial for optimal server performance, enhancing data protection, and defending against external threats.
  2. Resource Allocation and Management: Bare metal servers grant users full control over resource allocation. After installing the operating system, users can customize the allocation of CPU cores, assign the desired amount of RAM, and determine storage capacity based on specific requirements.This level of control facilitates optimized utilization of server resources, enabling users to allocate the right amount of computing power, memory, and storage to different applications and workloads. Users can ensure efficient performance and responsiveness for their specific tasks by tailoring resource allocation to their needs, maximizing the server's capabilities.
  3. Hardware Provisioning and Configuration: The process of hardware provisioning involves assigning and configuring specific physical components of a bare metal server, such as the CPU, RAM, storage, and network interfaces, for exclusive use by the server. This ensures that the user has complete access to the allocated resources and can make the most of them.

When Using Greennode Bare-metal?

Greennode Bare-metal offers several benefits over computer systems with operating systems. These benefits include:

  1. Greater performance: There's no operating system to take up system resources, so applications can run faster.
  2. Greater flexibility: Users have full control over the hardware, so they can customize the system to meet their specific needs.
  3. Greater security: There is no operating system to create security vulnerabilities, so the system can be better protected from threats.

Greennode Bare-metal also has some disadvantages compared to computer systems with operating systems. These disadvantages include:

  1. Difficult to install and configure: Bare-metal requires users to have knowledge of hardware and operating systems.
  2. Higher cost: Bare-metal often costs more than computer systems with a built-in operating system.
