Bare Metal

For AI projects requiring powerful GPUs, bare metal offers direct and exclusive access to computing power, without the slightest interference or virtualisation overlay. This guarantees optimum performance for training AI models, analysing massive data or image recognition, while ensuring SecNumCloud sovereignty and compliance. GPU resources are never shared with other customers, eliminating the risks of data contention and leakage.

The "cloud at the centre" doctrine places the sovereign cloud at the heart of the State's digital transformation. SecNumCloud bare metal allows public authorities to deploy sensitive applications (citizen portals, HR management, public finances) in a physically isolated environment that complies with ANSSI requirements. This isolation ensures that no other organisation shares the same hardware, reinforcing the security and control of public data.

Healthcare establishments and organisations handling sensitive medical data benefit from a dedicated environment, without pooling, to host patient files, databases or telemedicine platforms. Bare metal ensures strict compliance with the RGPD and HDS requirements, with full traceability and control over the infrastructure.

For ministries, security agencies or strategic companies, SecNumCloud-qualified bare metal offers the guarantee of physical isolation and exclusive control over servers, essential for classified applications, sensitive document management or ultra-secure internal communications. Unlike a shared IaaS environment, there is no risk of cohabitation with other customers.

Innovative companies or research laboratories can deploy a private cloud on a bare metal infrastructure, with the freedom to configure their software stack, install their own hypervisors or orchestrators, and benefit from consistent performance. This flexibility is not possible with a traditional IaaS offering, where resources are shared and customisation options are limited.

SecNumCloud's qualified bare metal offering enables organisations to deploy their Oracle databases and applications on dedicated physical servers, offering total control over compliance and sovereignty. This model makes it easier to optimise Oracle licence costs, thanks in particular to the precise sizing of resources and the absence of pooling, while simplifying licence management (BYOL or included). Companies benefit from enhanced security and exclusive control over their environment, meeting French and European regulatory requirements, while enjoying the power and flexibility of the sovereign cloud.
