# Metal Cloud

Metal Cloud enables you to deploy and manage bare metal servers globally. Our platform offers the flexibility of virtualized cloud environments with the performance, security, and control of dedicated

## **What is Metal Cloud?** <a href="#contentify_0" id="contentify_0"></a>

Metal Cloud is a form of cloud service in which the user rents a physical server with a built-in GPU component from FPT. This server is dedicated to the user and not shared with any other tenants.\
You can get access to servers with full control over their hardware without virtualization or abstraction layers, enabling maximum performance for compute-intensive workloads.\
\
*The server is also called a Bare Metal GPU server.*

## **How does it work?** <a href="#contentify_1" id="contentify_1"></a>

When you rent a Bare Metal GPU server, we allocate the entire physical machine exclusively for you, set up a physical networking configuration. You have 100% access to the computing and networking power of the machine because the server environment is fully isolated.\
\
You can configure the networking (subnet/IP), SSH key, user data, and install the operating system on the FPT Customer portal to deploy your server.

## **Why Metal Cloud?** <a href="#contentify_2" id="contentify_2"></a>

* Dedicated hardware for maximum performance
* High resource availability and scalability
* Advanced customization
* Improved performance and security
* Predictable costs

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://ai-docs.fptcloud.com/fpt-gpu-cloud/metal-cloud.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
