Bare Metal & Compute Articles

Skip to main content

Most workloads belong on a virtual machine; some need the whole server. These guides cover what KVM virtualization offers enterprises, how to plan a move from VMware to KVM, how to migrate from bare metal to virtualized infrastructure, and how to plan compute resources for business workloads. MarQi Cloud runs KVM, the hypervisor built into the Linux kernel, without a proprietary wrapper, so an image that runs here runs on any KVM host. Instances are real virtual machines with their own kernel, and bare metal servers in Zone1 give latency-sensitive databases, licence-bound software and GPU training the full machine. Start with Migrating from VMware to KVM and KVM Virtualization for Enterprises, or see the compute platform.
