Rackspace Releases Next Generation Bare Metal Servers
New version of OnMetal unlocks greater performance for demanding workloads like Cassandra, Docker, and Spark.
Rackspace® has announced the next generation of OnMetal™ Cloud Servers powered by OpenStack® — bare metal, single-tenant servers that are API-provisioned in two minutes, providing near-instant scalability and elasticity. This latest version of OnMetal Cloud Servers delivers innovative connectivity between public cloud and dedicated hardware and enables unprecedented hybrid cloud performance. Both Microsoft® and Linux workloads can now benefit from these next generation capabilities by capitalizing on the flexibility of public cloud with the performance and security of bare metal servers.
OnMetal Cloud Servers are an ideal solution for customers looking to run workloads such as Cassandra, Docker®, Spark and Windows that require intensive data processing, raw compute power and the ability to quickly scale and deploy. This offering gives customers bare metal speed, with the control, security and consistent performance comparable to dedicated hardware. OnMetal Cloud Servers help increase efficiencies at scale, allowing customers to reduce the cost and complexity of their IT operations by consolidating workloads from many virtual environments to a few bare metal servers.
