# VMRack Bare Metal Server Complete Guide

## What Is a Bare Metal Server?

VMRack Bare Metal provides dedicated physical servers with no virtualization overhead — full hardware performance and root access. All bare metal plans are hosted in VMRack's own Los Angeles Equinix LA4 facility, with Intel Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs (72 cores @ 2.70GHz), 256GB DDR4 RAM, a 1TB + 2TB SSD storage combo, 10 IPv4 addresses, and IPMI/KVM remote management.

Unlike virtualized cloud servers, bare metal delivers 100% hardware passthrough — built for enterprise workloads with extreme demands on compute, memory and I/O throughput.

## Billing Model

VMRack bare metal uses **prepaid monthly/annual** billing: choose configuration and term up front and pay once. Prices are all-inclusive (CPU, RAM, storage, IPs, bandwidth) with fixed dedicated bandwidth and unlimited traffic. No hourly or spot instances at this time.

## Use Cases

### Large databases
256GB RAM and dedicated I/O suit large MySQL/PostgreSQL deployments.

### HPC
72 physical cores with no virtualization loss — ideal for scientific computing and simulation.

### High-frequency trading
Dedicated hardware gives predictable latency for latency-sensitive trading systems.

### Large-scale game servers
Dedicated CPU and big bandwidth keep game servers stable; unmetered transfer handles high concurrency.

### Virtualization hosts
256GB RAM + 72 cores make a strong KVM/Proxmox host for self-built clusters.

## How to Buy

1. Choose the bare metal region (Los Angeles) and line (L3/L2/L1)
2. Pick a plan and term
3. Set the OS and login credentials
