App Servers

Ephemeral, Scalable application servers

Flex Metal ephemeral App Servers are perfect for modern, scalable web applications, data processing, transcoding, AI model training, content delivery, or similar computing needs.

Your automation can spin up and retire instances as needed through our API, allowing you to scale your applications on demand—giving you the benefits of bare metal hardware with the flexibility of cloud resources. Application resiliency is achieved by spreading your workloads across facilities and pods.

You can also use Flex Metal servers for non-critical business applications, such as test environments or on-demand model training and transcoding. Flex Metal allows you to beat traditional cloud costs while supporting the environment with second-life servers that take advantage of wasted power capacity in the data center.
