Powering Business Agility with FishOS Bare Metal Cloud
Built On OpenStack Ironic, Advanced By FishOS
Get the performance of physical servers with the agility of the cloud. FishOS Bare Metal Cloud enables high-performance, secure, and scalable infrastructure, optimized for your most demanding workloads.
FishOS transforms your physical infrastructure into a flexible bare metal cloud, allowing you to deploy workloads globally across locations and time zones.
Advanced Bare Metal Infrastructure,
Powered by FishOS
FishOS Bare Metal Cloud leverages OpenStack’s Ironic service to provision and manage physical servers (bare metal).
This gives you full control over your infrastructure and direct access to physical hardware when performance, security, or compliance is critical.
Direct Hardware Access
Run latency-sensitive, compute-heavy, or security-critical workloads directly on physical servers.
Full Lifecycle Automation
Provision, patch, redeploy, upgrade, and monitor physical infrastructure efficiently, with built-in automation and minimal manual intervention.
OpenStack Integration
Works smoothly with Nova (Compute), Neutron (Networking), and Glance (Image) for unified cloud infrastructure management.
Run FishOS Bare Metal Cloud
on Hardware of Your Choice
FishOS is compatible with a broad range of server types, configurations, and vendors, giving you the flexibility to deploy on the infrastructure that best fits your needs. No lock-in, no limitations.

What FishOS
Adds to Ironic?
OpenStack Ironic:
Bare Metal Provisioning at Cloud Speed
OpenStack Ironic is an open-source bare metal provisioning service designed to automate the deployment of operating systems onto physical machines—no virtualization layer needed.
The service automates tasks like powering servers on and off, installing operating systems, and configuring networks, doing all this through a user-friendly interface.
Ironic API
RESTful interface that allows users and services to interact with bare metal resources
PXE/IPMI support
Uses standard protocols to boot and manage a broad range of hardware
Ironic Conductor
Executes provisioning tasks, controls node power, disk wiping, and firmware updates
Nova integration
Enables compute scheduling across bare metal and virtual machines via a unified interface
Ironic Python Agent
Runs on target servers to perform in-band operations and hardware introspection
Use Cases and Industries
FishOS Bare Metal Cloud is trusted by national research institutions, top insurance providers and hyperscale data centers across Europe and Asia to run high-performance applications — with full control, strong automation, and no compromise on performance.
High-Performance Computing
Run simulations, weather modeling, molecular research, genomic sequencing, and medical imaging with full hardware performance.
AI & ML Model Training
Accelerate deep learning workloads using GPUs or FPGAs — without the limits of virtualization.
Security-Sensitive Workloads
Deploy single-tenant environments for healthcare, finance, or government use cases that require strict data isolation and compliance.
Media Processing & Streaming
Handle large media files and real-time content delivery (including 8K video) with consistent performance and low latency.
Bare Metal as a Service (BMaaS)
Enable cloud providers and institutions to offer physical infrastructure directly to users — with zero-touch provisioning and full automation.
Bare Metal + Virtualization: The Best of Both Worlds
With FishOS, you can deploy and manage bare metal and virtual machines side by side—within a single OpenStack-based environment.
This hybrid approach gives you the flexibility to tailor your infrastructure to your exact performance, compliance, and scalability needs.
Raw performance
Run AI/ML, HPC, and analytics directly on physical servers with no virtualization overhead
Elastic scalability
Use VMs to handle fluctuating demand and background workloads
Stronger security
Isolate sensitive workloads on bare metal for compliance
Unified operations
Manage both environments through one interface with consistent APIs and automation
Deploy anywhere
Centrally manage, provision, and troubleshoot across global locations
