Launch in Amsterdam

G-Core Labs on August 26, 2021 announced that it had strengthened the presence of its infrastructure in Western Europe by launching a location of bare metal servers in the capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam. Servers are located in a reliable Tier IV data center and allow you to access high-bandwidth infrastructure in one of the world's economic centers.

With this service, G-Core Labs - Bare-Metal-as-a-Service - can access dedicated servers as quickly as virtual machines. This saves customers from performance and security issues associated with allocating resources from the same platform to different users. Also, with its own ecosystem of cloud services, G-Core Labs solves another frequent customer problem associated with the inconvenience of managing the disparate infrastructure of dedicated servers, virtual machines, and cloud services provided by different providers.

Bare-Metal-as-a-Service comprehensively solves all the mentioned issues. With this service, the user can get a dedicated server ready for operation as easily as a virtual server. To do this, it is enough to choose the necessary characteristics, connect a public, private or several networks at once and in a few minutes the physical server will be ready to work. Unlike virtual, it allows you to use all your resources and ensures that there are no "neighbors." In addition, bare metal nodes are suitable for tasks in which virtualization is not applicable, including deploying demanding applications such as game servers and databases, as well as creating storage in the public cloud, using as hypervisors and launching containers, "said Alexander Fedotov, deputy head of the G-Core Labs cloud platforms.

Technologies of Intel are responsible for the high performance of decisions of provider: in April, 2021 G-Core Labs began integratsiyuintel Xeon Scalable of the 3rd generation (Ice Lake) in server infrastructure of the cloud services. Such equipment allows applications to quickly cope with demanding tasks.

In addition to Amsterdam, dedicated servers for August 2021 are available in more than ten other cities, including Luxembourg, Frankfurt, Paris, Moscow, Singapore, Tokyo, Istanbul, Santa Clara and Manassas, and by the end of 2021 they will appear in Hong Kong, São Paulo, Mumbai and Johannesburg.

Announcement of Bare-Metal-as-a-Service

On June 30, 2021, the company, G-Core Labs international provider cloudy and edge solutions, announced the launch of a leasing service dedicated - servers Bare-Metal-as-a-Service. The solution allows you to get a physical server ready for operation in a few minutes, which can be used together with other services of the provider to obtain cloud infrastructure with simple resource management, balancing and networks.

Bare-Metal-as-a-Service

According to the company, it is not always reasonable to deploy highly loaded applications and services on virtual machines, since the "tax" on virtualization prevents using all the power of such servers . Problems arise due to the allocation of resources of the same platform among different users: when one customer excessively uses server power, the rest has to pay for performance, and if one of the users is an attacker, the security risks are borne by customers next door. Getting rid of these problems allows full and sole access to all the resources and capacities of the physical server, provided when renting a dedicated server - the so-called bare iron or bare metal node. The problem is that ordering such a solution is usually more difficult than a virtual machine, and it takes longer to wait for it to be prepared for work. Additional complexity is managing the disparate infrastructure of dedicated servers, virtual machines, and cloud services when they are provided by different providers.

The G-Core Labs service - Bare-Metal-as-a-Service - helps in solving the above problems. With it, the user can get a dedicated server ready for work. To do this, it is enough to choose the necessary characteristics, connect a public, private or several networks at once and in a few minutes the physical server will be ready to work. Unlike virtual, it allows you to use all your resources and ensures that there are no "neighbors." In addition, bare metal nodes are suitable for tasks in which virtualization is not applicable, including the deployment of demanding applications such as game servers and, databases as well as for creating in, public cloud storages using as hypervisors and running containers. said Alexander Fedotov, deputy head of the G-Core Labs cloud platforms

You can manage the solution along with other G-Core Labs services in a single user friendly interface, which allows users to build a balanced infrastructure in the public cloud.

Thanks to a versatile ecosystem of services, users get an infrastructure in which they can combine private and public networks, as well as manage dedicated servers, virtual machines and other provider solutions.

Technologies of Intel are responsible for the performance of solutions of G-Core Labs: cloud services work on processorakhintel Xeon Gold 6152, 6252 and 5220, a CDN cache servers - on Intel Xeon Platinum, and in April, 2021 the provider began integration of Intel Xeon Scalable of the 3rd generation (Ice Lake) into server infrastructure of the cloud services.
