Huawei Cloud Bare Metal Server (BMS)

The Huawei Cloud Bare Metal Server (BMS) is a dedicated physical server solution provided by Huawei Cloud Computing Technologies Co., Ltd. According to the vendor, BMS offers excellent computing performance and data security for core databases, key application systems, and high-performance computing. It is designed to cater to small, medium, and large enterprises in various industries, including IT professionals, database administrators, software developers, research institutions, and financial institutions.

Key Features

Shared Disks: According to the vendor, BMS allows automatic attachment of shared Elastic Volume Service (EVS) disks, simplifying the process of obtaining and managing storage space for core system clusters. It is said to offer easy scalability of storage capacity as per the requirements.

Quick Provisioning: The vendor claims that BMS utilizes Huawei-developed SDI technology, enabling the provisioning of servers within five minutes after selecting a compatible flavor on the management console. This is intended to accelerate the deployment process, reduce wait times, and improve efficiency.

Security: The vendor states that BMS provides enterprise-class security and disk backup capabilities, ensuring data protection and integrity. It is designed to maintain high computing capabilities without impacting performance due to virtualization, making it suitable for running critical applications and handling sensitive data.

Flexible Deployment: According to the vendor, BMSs use Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for seamless communication with other cloud resources. They support hybrid deployment with Elastic Cloud Servers (ECS) and allow Elastic IP (EIP) binding to meet diverse networking requirements.

Cluster Deployment: The vendor claims that BMSs support the deployment of clusters by attaching an Elastic Volume Service (EVS) disk to multiple servers. This is said to enable efficient and scalable cluster-based application deployment, enhancing the performance and reliability of core databases and distributed systems.

Large Capacity: According to the vendor, BMSs can have multiple EVS disks attached, each with a capacity of up to 32 TB. This offers the flexibility to expand storage capacity as needed, ensuring efficient utilization of resources while optimizing cost-effectiveness.

High Reliability: The vendor states that BMSs ensure high data durability through three-copy backup mechanisms, providing reliable storage solutions for critical applications and databases. This is intended to reduce the risk of data loss and enhance business continuity.

Auto Provisioning: According to the vendor, BMSs automate the process of OS installation, network configuration, and disk attachment after the user applies for a server. This simplifies server setup, reduces manual intervention, and enables quick and hassle-free deployment of BMS resources.

EVS Disks: The vendor claims that users can easily attach or detach EVS disks to their BMS without stopping the server. This is said to offer flexibility in managing storage resources according to changing requirements and allows users to optimize storage configurations without disrupting ongoing operations.

VPC & Custom Network: According to the vendor, BMSs can communicate with ECSs within the same Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and support custom network configurations for enhanced connectivity options. This is intended to enable seamless integration with other cloud resources.
