Virtualise and containerise your infrastructure with complete control
Deploy a private cloud or a Kubernetes cluster directly on bare metal servers, without compromising on performance or control of your environment. You retain control over your technical choices, costs, and the location of your data, while benefiting from a ready-to-use infrastructure.
Your challenges
When managing a virtualised or containerised infrastructure, several challenges quickly arise:
- keeping costs under control in the face of variable cloud models
- avoiding constraints imposed by certain platforms
- ensuring consistent performance
- ensuring data sovereignty and localisation
You need a reliable, flexible, and predictable foundation to scale your projects. This is particularly true for dedicated server databases dedicated, where resource isolation is crucial to maintain predictable response times under load.
High performance at a controlled cost.
A sustainable performance-price balance.
Enjoy high-performing servers at a competitive price, without compromise. Thanks to our mastery of the entire chain — from design to operation — we guarantee you excellent value for money over time.
Clear and predictable costs.
Access essential services from the outset: unlimited bandwidth, DDoS protection, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, external storage, and technical support. The options are transparent, for billing without surprises.
Wide choice of systems and software.
Quickly install the environment suited to your needs: Debian, Ubuntu, Windows Server, Rocky Linux… Recent versions are available immediately, with licenses offered at optimised rates.
An infrastructure designed to evolve.
A single server can host multiple applications, websites or client environments. With tools like cPanel or Plesk, easily manage your resources from a single interface.
The solution: bare metal, without compromise.
With Kimsufi bare metal servers, you build your infrastructure according to your own rules.
You choose freely:
- your hypervisor (Proxmox, VMware ESXi, KVM, Hyper-V)
- your orchestration solution (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Apache Mesos)
- your network configuration
No imposed layer, no software limitation: you maintain control over the entire architecture.
The high-speed private network between nodes allows for rapid migrations of virtual machines. It also ensures smooth communications between containers. Finally, it contributes to the establishment of high-performance clusters with low latency.
Your data remains hosted in Europe, within an infrastructure not subject to the CLOUD Act.
Virtualisation: consolidate and optimise your resources
Consolidate several underutilised servers onto a single virtualised infrastructure.
You reduce your hardware costs while gaining flexibility.
The migration of your existing virtual machines is quick thanks to standard formats.
The distributed HA-NAS storage provides a shared datastore, high availability, and hot migrations without interruption, ensuring the continuity of service for your virtualised environments. For critical data, pair your infrastructure with a dedicated backup and recovery solution to automate your backups and secure business continuity.
Benefits
- better utilisation of resources
- service continuity
- simplification of the infrastructure
Your questions answered
How many virtual machines can be deployed?
How many virtual machines can be deployed?
This depends on your server's resources and the sizing of your virtual machines.
A powerful server can host several dozen if the resources are optimised.
Kubernetes bare metal or managed: what to choose?
Kubernetes bare metal or managed: what to choose?
Managed Kubernetes simplifies operations but imposes constraints and variable costs.
With bare metal, you retain:
- version control
- network freedom
- fixed costs
This is the ideal choice for large-scale infrastructures.
How to migrate from VMware?
How to migrate from VMware?
You can export your virtual machines (OVF/OVA), and then import them onto your new infrastructure.
Tools like virt-v2v allow for the automation of migration and enable it to be carried out gradually.
How to ensure high availability?
How to ensure high availability?
Create a Kubernetes cluster
- Use at least 3 master nodes.
- Set up a load balancer.
- Rely on distributed storage.
Add monitoring tools to anticipate incidents.
Which orchestrator to choose?
Which orchestrator to choose?
- Kubernetes: for complex and scalable architectures
- Docker Swarm: for a simple implementation
- Apache Mesos: for hybrid environments
The choice depends on your level of maturity and your needs.
