About Equinix Metal

Equinix Metal provides on-demand, automated bare metal servers designed to deliver cloud-like agility with dedicated physical infrastructure. It enables enterprises to deploy and manage physical servers globally through an API-driven platform, eliminating the overhead of traditional hardware procurement and provisioning. This service is ideal for organizations requiring high-performance compute resources with low latency and full control over their infrastructure.

Targeted at large enterprises and cloud-native businesses, Equinix Metal supports workloads that demand consistent performance, compliance, and security beyond what virtualized environments typically offer. Its global footprint across Equinix data centers allows companies to deploy infrastructure close to their end users or critical data sources, optimizing application performance and reducing latency. The primary value lies in combining the flexibility of cloud provisioning with the power and control of dedicated hardware, enabling hybrid and multi-cloud strategies with seamless integration into existing ecosystems.

Our buyer guides across Cloud Infrastructure. Each one compares the main vendors in its category and what buyers weigh up.

Backup & Disaster Recovery
Evaluate Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, Cohesity, Dell PowerProtect, and Druva against your real RTO and RPO targets β€” with ransomware resilience, not backup windows, as the deciding criterion.
Cloud Cost Management & FinOps
Compare IBM Apptio Cloudability, VMware Tanzu CloudHealth (Broadcom), Flexera One, Harness, Finout, Zesty, and Vantage on the question this category actually turns on β€” not whether a dashboard is pretty, but whether shared-cost allocation is accurate, committed-use buying is optimized, and engineering acts on the recommendations.
Cloud Infrastructure & IaaS
Compare AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, IBM Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and DigitalOcean on the one thing the pricing calculator hides β€” egress, support-tier costs, committed-use discounts, and lock-in β€” not the on-demand compute rate the demo shows you.
