Introduction

Hi, everyone i am going to tell “What is BMS?” in this article. A Bare Metal Server (BMS) features both the scalability of Elastic Cloud Servers (ECSs) and high performance of physical servers. It provides dedicated servers on the cloud, delivering the performance and security required by core databases, critical applications, high-performance computing (HPC), and Big Data. Let start to to examine closely BMS services. 🤗

Bare Metal Servers: The Ultimate Choice for High Performance Computing Applications In the world of cloud computing, many businesses have opted for virtual machines as a means to run their applications. But as the demands of high-performance computing (HPC) workloads increase with the advancement of technology, there has been a growing interest in Bare Metal Servers (BMSs) as a preferred alternative. Bare Metal Servers offer a superior level of performance over virtual machines as they provide direct access to the physical CPU and memory resources without any virtualization overhead. This makes them ideal for applications that require high performance computing, such as scientific analysis, data mining, machine learning, artificial intelligence and other compute-intensive workloads.

BMS Architecture

BMS works with other cloud services :

✅ Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

✅ Image Management Service (IMS)

✅ Elastic Volume Service (EVS)

✅ Cloud Eye

✅ Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR) — EVS

BMS Storage

BMS Advantages

One significant advantage of Bare Metal Servers is their isolation and dedicated nature. Unlike virtual machines, BMSs are single-tenant servers that offer complete control, privacy and security. As a result, users can avoid the typical “noisy neighbor” effect that is often encountered with virtual machines that share the same resources. Another advantage of BMSs is their ability to quickly and easily scale up and down when extra computing resources are needed. Bare Metal Servers offer automatic provisioning of compute, storage, and network resources, making them highly scalable and easy to use. They are also highly cost-effective, as businesses only pay for the resources they require, without worrying about the cost of managing physical hardware. Bare Metal Servers work using a similar architecture to traditional physical servers. A BMS typically consists of two or more CPUs, several memory modules, hard-disks or Solid State Drives (SSDs), and network interface cards (NICs).

Storage

Bare Metal Servers also offer high levels of storage capacity, with up to 192TB of storage available, guaranteeing sufficient storage capacity for the heaviest workloads.

Finally, BMSs offer high levels of security features that are essential for businesses that handle confidential and sensitive data. Network security features are provided by default and include firewalling, load balancing and Private Networking (PN), which allows the user to define secure communication channels between different BMSs. Access Control can also be administered on multiple levels, allowing users to set access control policies for different users and teams.

Conclusion

In this article i tell BMS service on Huawei Cloud. For organizations looking for high performance computing or handling business-critical workloads, Bare Metal Servers offer the ultimate solution. They provide users with direct access to physical CPU and memory resources without the overhead of virtualization, so they can achieve the highest levels of performance possible. Bare Metal Servers are cost-effective, highly scalable, customizable and secure, making them the perfect choice for enterprise computing. Don’t forget follow me on Linkedin 🙌
