Bare Metal Cloud: When the Hypervisor Is the Problem, Not the Solution
Virtual machines are the default in cloud computing, but for a growing set of workloads, the hypervisor is pure overhead. Bare metal cloud gives you dedicated hardware without the colocation operations burden. Here's when it makes sense.
