Customer chosen server, storage and network configurations fully managed and accessible by the customer are one of CSL’s cloud offerings. As the term implies, our bare-metal servers solution, the customer is given access to the components via Out-of-band methods independent from any operating system remote access methods.
Typical use-cases for bare-metal cloud offerings
- Resource hungry applications requiring
full/dedicated resource allocations
- Legacy applications which do not support modern
technologies such as virtualisation
- Products with licensing restrictions
- Specific hypervisor implementations not
delivered through CSLs Shared or Private cloud offerings
- Customers requiring full control including the
underlying hardware level upwards
During on-boarding, CSL liaises
with the customer’s IT personnel to establish the initial configuration in
terms of out-of-band IP addressing, disk RAID configuration, vlans, access
lists, VPNs and optionally an initial operating system installation. Once the
customer is given access to the said platform, all access to CSL personnel is
ceased.
Although pre-defined server
configurations are being provided as a guideline CSL allows full flexibility on
the configuration of the said bare-metal instances and does not impose any
restrictions on aspects such as CPU types and hard disk types.
Bare-metal solutions are priced based on a one-time implementation charge and an on-going monthly fee. Other CSL services such as Managed services, Software licensing, DDoS mitigation and Shared cloud services can be coupled with this offering.
