With industry-leading core counts (scaling up to 192 cores), 2.3 TB of RAM, up to 1 PB of block storage, and high bandwidth, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Compute bare metal instances offer significant performance improvement over other cloud and on-premises infrastructure.
Why choose OCI bare metal instances?
Price-performance
OCI bare metal instances are optimized for performance, flexibility, and cost. Bare metal instances from other cloud providers cost 67% more than comparable ones from OCI.
Full control
Oracle installs zero software on its bare metal instances, unlike other cloud providers. As a result, customers maintain full control over the entire cloud stack just as they would on-premises.
Secure
Shielded bare metal instances, hardware root of trust, and off-box virtualization are designed to reduce malicious attacks and help applications run securely.
Complete control over the entire cloud stack
Bare metal instances let customers run high performance, latency-sensitive, specialized, and traditional workloads directly on dedicated server hardware—just as they would on-premises.
No agents or hypervisor needed
Other cloud providers install agents and additional software, but at Oracle we install zero software on bare metal instances. As a result, customers gain increased security and performance within an environment that offers consistency in response to application calls.
Secured within your tenancy
Bare metal instances are managed within a secure virtual cloud network (VCN), where customers get security, isolation, and governance features by default. Networking is readily extended to access any adjacent Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service.
