What is Bare Metal OpenShift and when does it make sense?
Bare Metal OpenShift refers to running OpenShift clusters directly on physical hardware without an additional virtualisation layer. This gives workloads direct access to physical resources, enabling maximum performance, stable runtimes and clearly isolated environments.
Bare Metal OpenShift is particularly suitable for business-critical, latency-sensitive or compute-intensive applications where every abstraction layer affects performance. It is also increasingly being adopted as an alternative to traditional virtualisation. CONVOTIS supports the implementation, operation and integration of Bare Metal OpenShift into existing Hybrid and Multi-Cloud strategies, with a focus on security, scalability and sustainable operations.
What services does CONVOTIS Bare Metal OpenShift include?
CONVOTIS enables the stable and secure operation of Bare Metal OpenShift with dedicated clusters, clear separation and direct access to physical resources. From design and implementation to SLA-based operations, we create high-performance, sovereign container platforms.
We support organisations in the structured migration of existing applications into dedicated Bare Metal OpenShift environments. This includes analysing current systems, defining clear target architectures, and selecting the most suitable migration strategies. Whether rehosting, replatforming, or container-based modernisation, we establish a stable foundation for a controlled transition.
At the same time, we integrate both new and existing systems seamlessly into established hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The result is consistent platforms with clear separation, high performance, and full control over operations and resources.
We establish centralised operating and management processes for Bare Metal OpenShift environments, enabling consistent control of even highly distributed clusters. This includes standardised provisioning, automated deployments, and end-to-end visibility across all resources and workloads.
With clearly defined governance structures, role-based access models, and centralised monitoring, you retain full control over your infrastructure at all times, creating a stable foundation for the reliable operation of your container platform.
We implement robust security and governance mechanisms for Bare Metal OpenShift environments, ranging from role-based access models and Kubernetes-native policies to full auditability. Running on dedicated hardware ensures clearly isolated clusters without shared resources.
With centrally defined security policies, encrypted communication, and integrated key management, we enable controlled and compliant operations. This gives you full visibility over all access and establishes a solid foundation for compliance and secure container platforms.
We take full responsibility for operating your Bare Metal OpenShift environments, including cluster lifecycle management, updates, and patching, all backed by clearly defined SLAs and standardised operating procedures. By running on dedicated hardware, you benefit from consistent performance without shared resources.
Our approach focuses on automation, proactive monitoring, and well-structured operating models. This ensures controlled, transparent, and consistently stable operations while reducing the workload on your internal teams.

FAQ
Do you have questions about Bare Metal OpenShift and dedicated container platforms?
Our FAQ provides clear, concise answers to key topics such as operations, cluster management, security, and governance on physical infrastructure, explained in a practical and easy-to-understand way.
Still have questions?
It is particularly well suited for latency-sensitive, resource-intensive, or security-critical applications. It is also the right choice when clear isolation, high performance, or strict regulatory requirements are a priority.
Cloud deployments typically rely on virtualised, shared resources, whereas Bare Metal OpenShift runs on dedicated hardware. This provides greater control, predictable performance, and clearly isolated environments without dependence on hypervisors.
Multiple clusters can be managed consistently through centralised management and automation solutions. Standardised deployments, monitoring, and clearly defined operating processes ensure full transparency and efficient operations.
