WorldWide Bare Metal Cloud Market, Industry / Sector Analysis Report, Regional Outlook & Competitive Market Share & Forecast, 2019 - 2025 (Includes Business Impact of COVID-19)

                                          
Bare Metal Cloud Market size will be driven by their ability to combine the feasibility of public clouds with the high-performance capabilities of physical servers. They have emerged as a preferable alternative to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for processing intensive functions requiring extensive resource utilization. They offer cloud-like speed and ease to the customers by way of dedicated and physical servers. The customers gain access to the entire processing capability of a dedicated server along with networking, storage, and other services.
 

Customers can rent and configure single-tenant servers through bare metal clouds along with the security and predictability of locally available servers. The primary differentiation between a bare metal cloud and IaaS is that instead of a virtual server, the service maps to a physical server. The key driving factor for the market growth is the benefit of direct control of the physical server for the customers. Customers can run any operating system of their choice on such servers. They are delivered through a cloud-based service model but do not run on a hypervisor and are not virtualized.
 

The functionality is ideal for processes where there is a need for data-intensive, short term functions without any kind of overhead delay or latency. Customers get control of the full stack where they can optimize the performance and utilization to a granular level which is not possible in a typical virtual environment. In a typical virtualized environment, performance inconsistency can arise due to simultaneous heavy resource utilization by multiple tenants. Multiple virtual machines tend to utilize available resources of the server reducing the overall speed. In a bare metal cloud, customers access non-shared server resources enabling a high degree of performance compared to virtual machines.
 

North America is expected to hold a major market share during the forecast period owing to high demand for flexible and high-speed services and increasing investment in R&D leading to technological advancements in fields of cloud computing, IoT, and big data. Asia Pacific market is expected to witness accelerated growth over the forecast period due to increasing emphasis on improving IT infrastructure and rising demand for cloud-based services to support the growing IT outsourcing industry.
 

Some of the key players operating in the bare metal cloud market are Oracle, IBM, Rackspace, Internap, CenturyLink, Bigstep, Spotinst, Storm, Joyent, Datapipe,  Scaleway, Dell, Media Temple, and Limestone Networks. These players emphasize on product development to introduce advanced solutions in the market and gain a competitive advantage. For instance, in August 2017, Oracle announced the availability of the Exadata Cloud through its unique, next-generation bare metal cloud services. These services offer connectivity, processing, and database access to customers enhancing all the stages of application development and deployment. Such advanced services will fuel the fuel the growth of bare metal cloud market during the forecast period.
