Baremetal Cloud: a dedicated cloud server running your own VMs

One dedicated server with a hypervisor installed, so you can run several VMs, each with its own role: web, application, database and more. Private cloud without needing a full cluster, built and supported by GigeNET engineers.

Consolidate your workloads onto hardware you control

Instead of paying for several small servers or VPS plans, run them all as VMs on one dedicated machine.

Many VMs, one bill

Split one server into as many VMs as its resources allow, and give each a clear role.

Dedicated hardware

No other customer runs on your server, so performance stays predictable.

Your hypervisor, your rules

Create, resize and snapshot VMs yourself, or let our engineers do it for you.

Private networking

Your VMs talk to each other on a private network. Add public IPs where you need them.

A clear path to grow

When you outgrow one server, we move your VMs into an Enterprise Cloud cluster.

Engineers, not scripts

Three ways to run a private cloud

Start with one server, grow into a cluster, or connect it to the public cloud you already use.

From your workload list to running VMs

One team sizes, builds and supports your server.

Tell us your workloads

List the VMs you want to run and roughly what each needs.

We size the server

We match CPU, memory and storage to your VMs, with room to grow.

We build it

We install the hypervisor, network and your first VMs.

You run, we support

Manage VMs yourself or hand them to us. We monitor the hardware 24/7.

Baremetal Cloud FAQs

How many VMs can I run?

It depends on the server’s CPU, memory and storage and on what each VM needs. We size the server to the VMs you plan to run, with headroom to add more.

What happens if the server has a hardware problem?

All VMs run on one machine, so a hardware fault affects all of them while we repair it. We recommend backups, and for automatic failover we recommend Enterprise Cloud.

Which hypervisors do you support?

VMware vSphere or Proxmox VE. We’ll recommend one based on your workloads, licensing and team.

Can I move to Enterprise Cloud later?

Yes. When you outgrow one server, our engineers plan and carry out the move of your VMs into a multi-host cluster.

How is Baremetal Cloud priced?

Each server is quoted to your requirements at a fixed monthly price.
