Bare-Metal Compute
The metal, without the middleman.
Direct hardware access with zero hypervisor tax. Our bare-metal instances deliver 100% of the CPU, RAM, and NVMe throughput to your workload — no noisy neighbors, no performance caps, no surprises.
Starting from $6/mo · Provisioned in < 60 seconds · NVMe included
Why bare-metal
Infrastructure that gets out of your way.
0%
Virtualization overhead
No hypervisor layer, no KVM overhead, no memory balloon driver stealing cycles from your workload.
100%
NVMe IOPS delivered
PCIe 5.0 NVMe with direct attachment — every read and write hits the hardware without a virtual storage driver in the path.
<60s
Provisioning time
Pre-imaged hardware and a zero-touch bootstrap pipeline get your instance live in under a minute from first API call.
Instance types
Pick your hardware profile.
All instances run on AMD EPYC™ 9004-series processors with PCIe 5.0 NVMe storage. Bandwidth is measured as monthly egress included in the base price.
All prices in USD. Egress above included bandwidth billed at $0.01/GB · IPv4 included · IPv6 included
Architecture
Silicon to socket,
nothing in between.
Conventional virtual machines insert a hypervisor between your code and the CPU. Nubis bare-metal removes that entire layer. Your OS boots directly on the physical machine — giving you raw clock cycles, direct NUMA topology access, and hardware performance counters that virtualisation typically masks.
- Direct PCIe bus access for NVMe & GPU passthrough
- NUMA-aware memory allocation without hypervisor interference
- Hardware performance counters fully exposed (perf, eBPF)
- SR-IOV networking — no virtio overhead

Use cases
Built for workloads that demand the most.
High-Throughput Databases
Run PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB on dedicated hardware. Eliminate the I/O jitter that virtual disks introduce and achieve consistent sub-millisecond query latency.
Real-Time Analytics
ClickHouse, Apache Druid, and Spark workloads demand deterministic CPU scheduling. Bare-metal removes the noisy-neighbor risk and delivers predictable query performance.
CI/CD Build Farms
Full core allocation means your build pipeline actually runs at the clock speed advertised. No CPU steal, no throttling — just fast, parallel compilation.
Game Servers & Low Latency APIs
Single-digit millisecond response times at the application layer require zero interference from the infrastructure. Bare-metal delivers that guarantee.
Regulated Workloads
Single-tenant hardware provides a clean isolation boundary for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and NDPR-regulated data — no shared kernel, no shared memory bus.
ML Training & Inference
Memory-optimised instances with up to 512 GB ECC DDR5 and high-bandwidth NVMe tiers let you load large model weights without swap pressure.
Zero latency.
Zero lock-in.
Reclaim your infrastructure. Deploy to our Lagos edge in under 60 seconds and experience what cloud performance actually feels like.
