Introduction

What is Bare Metal Server (BMS)

Bare Metal Server (BMS) is a dedicated physical server provided by Huawei Cloud, offering secure and reliable dedicated computing resources without virtualization overhead, meeting business scenarios with high performance requirements such as high-performance computing, databases, and big data analysis. BMS provides complete control over physical servers, supports custom operating systems, network configurations, and security policies, and is suitable for application scenarios with strict requirements for performance, security, and compliance.

BMS service supports multiple instance types, providing different computing capabilities, storage space, and network performance to meet different business needs. BMS supports VPC and security group isolation, providing secure and reliable dedicated computing resources to meet enterprise requirements for data security and compliance. Through BMS, enterprises can obtain the complete performance and isolation of physical servers while enjoying the flexibility and convenience of cloud computing.
