# Types of Bare Metal servers

> Compare Gcore Bare Metal server types for high frequency, infrastructure, and storage workloads.

Gcore offers Bare Metal server types optimized for specific use cases and workload demands. Available configurations depend on the [deployment region](https://gcore.com/cloud/bare-metal-servers). To compare types in the [Gcore Customer Portal](https://portal.gcore.com), open **Cloud** > **Bare Metal**, click **Create Bare Metal**, select a region, and review the **Server type** groups.

* **High frequency** — single-socket servers with high clock-speed CPUs for latency-sensitive workloads — real-time analytics, low-latency applications, and gaming servers.
* **Infrastructure** — multi-socket servers with high core counts for enterprise workloads, large databases, and virtualized environments.
* **Storage** — multi-socket servers with large-capacity drives for data-heavy workloads — archival storage, backup, and big data processing.

## High frequency

High frequency Bare Metal servers suit applications that depend on processor clock speed rather than core count: multiplayer gaming, CAD applications, media processing, and rendering tasks.

| Type | CPU | CPU cores/threads | RAM | Disk | Network |
| - | - | - | - | - | - |
| bm1a-hf-1x7950x-128-2x960gb-2x10nic | AMD Ryzen 7950X | 16/32, 4.5 GHz | 128 GB | 2x 960 GB NVMe | 2x 10 GbE |
| bm1a-hf-1x7950x-128-rn-2x960gb-2x10nic | AMD Ryzen 7950X | 16/32, 4.5 GHz | 128 GB | 2x 960 GB NVMe (no RAID) | 2x 10 GbE |
| bm3a-hf-1x9950x-128-2x960gbnvme-2x1nic | AMD Ryzen 9950X | 16/32, 4.3 GHz | 128 GB | 2x 960 GB NVMe | 2x 1 GbE |
| bm3a-hf-1x9950x-128-rn-2x960gbnvme-2x1nic | AMD Ryzen 9950X | 16/32, 4.3 GHz | 128 GB | 2x 960 GB NVMe (no RAID) | 2x 1 GbE |

## Infrastructure

Infrastructure Bare Metal servers target workloads that need high multi-core performance and extensive multi-threading: large-scale databases, virtualization platforms, container orchestration, and high-performance microservices.

| Type | CPU | CPU cores/threads | RAM | Disk | Network |
| - | - | - | - | - | - |
| bm2a-infrastructure-2x7643-1024-2x960gbnvme-2x100nic | 2x AMD EPYC 7643 | 96/192, 2.3 GHz | 1024 GB | 2x 960 GB NVMe | 2x 100 GbE |

## Storage

Storage Bare Metal servers combine high core counts with large disk capacity for workloads that read and write large datasets: archival storage, backup servers, media libraries, and big data analytics.

| Type | CPU | CPU cores/threads | RAM | Disk | Network |
| - | - | - | - | - | - |
| bm2a-storage-2x7643-1024-10x15tb-2x100nic | 2x AMD EPYC 7643 | 96/192, 2.3 GHz | 1024 GB | 10x 15 TB SSD | 2x 100 GbE |
