Ask HN: What's your no-cloud infra look like?

3 points by systemvoltage 3y ago ↗ HN

Does anyone still host on-prem or on bare metal servers in small data centers? Googling "Bare Metal Servers" brings up a whole bunch of small companies located in places like Colorado and North Carolina.

Curious what is your "no-cloud" setup look like?

I do both cloud (AWS) and bare metal (single server on OVH with web server, db and the rest of the infra stack).

Nobody call it "bare metal servers".

it's just server. or server hosting. or cohosting. or co-located.

We got ~175 bare metal dedicated servers for maximum performance within our infrastructure.

We also have a separate instance of our SaaS running on AWS in the “cloud” for security and compliance reasons.
