Dedicated Servers | Windows & Linux Hosting Hypervisors Vs Bare Metal Servers: a Beginner’s Gu | Page 5

Features of Bare Metal
 Single tenant environment: Bare metal servers cater to one client and cannot be physically
shared with other customers. This, of course, can change if the clients decided to run a
separate virtualized environment apart from it resulting in the creation of a multi-tenant
environment.
 Security: When it comes to security, nothing comes close to dedicated single tenant servers.
Since each server caters to one client, security breaches can only be witnessed if there was
hacking.
 High processing power: Compared to all solutions in the market, bare metal servers can
handle more data.
 Customization capabilities. As the sole owner of the server, you can play with all the
customization options at your disposal. From the configuration stage, you can select the
appropriate component including hardware resources, software, panel add-ons and so on. You
can even throw in a hypervisor into the mix.
