Frequently Asked Questions

What is bare metal hosting?

Bare metal hosting provides dedicated physical servers with no virtualization layer. You get full access to all hardware resources — CPU, RAM, storage, and network — without sharing them with other tenants.

How does NetActuate bare metal differ from a standard cloud instance?

NetActuate bare metal gives you single-tenant hardware with direct access to the underlying server. There are no shared resources, no hypervisor overhead, and no unpredictable "noisy neighbor" performance degradation. You also connect directly to one of the largest BGP-peered networks in the world.

 Can I manage bare metal servers remotely?

Yes. You can restart, shut down, and rebuild bare metal servers remotely through the NetActuate portal or via our API. Full IPMI/out-of-band management is also available.

What operating systems are supported?

NetActuate supports a wide range of OS images including Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Windows Server, NixOS, Talos, and more. Custom images and recipes are available on request.

 Can bare metal servers connect to other NetActuate services?

Yes. Bare metal can be integrated with our BGP Anycast platform, Cloud Routers, DDoS Mitigation, Firewall, and VPC networking — managed from the same portal as your other NetActuate resources.

Is NETINT VPU hardware available on bare metal?

Yes. Select bare metal configurations support NETINT Quadra VPU cards for hardware-accelerated video encoding workloads. Contact our team for configuration options and availability.
