Bare-Metal as a Service,
Dedicated. Yours.

Single-tenant physical servers on a monthly subscription, with direct hardware control, no noisy neighbours and none of the capital cost.

What Is Bare-Metal as a Service?

Bare-Metal as a Service gives you dedicated physical servers in Altanora's data centres, billed monthly, so you get the performance and isolation of owning hardware without buying, housing or refreshing it. Run your own hypervisor, legacy or licensed software, or let Altanora manage a hypervisor layer on top.

Servers are part of AltaSphere and run in data centres in Canada, the United States, the UK and Australia, hosted on infrastructure independently audited to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018.

Bare-Metal as a Service FAQ

What is bare metal as a service?

Dedicated physical servers delivered on a subscription. You get exclusive use of the hardware with no virtualization layer unless you add one.

Can I run my own hypervisor?

Yes. Many clients run their own VMware vSphere, or add a managed XenServer layer from Altanora.

Why choose bare metal over cloud VMs?

For physical isolation, predictable performance, licensing that requires dedicated hardware, or legacy software that doesn't virtualize well.

Where are the servers located?

In data centres in Canada, the United States, the UK and Australia.

Do you manage the servers?

Hardware and facilities are always managed. OS, hypervisor and application management are available as add-ons.
