#Equinix_Metal Is Gone. What Comes Next? The retirement of Equinix Metal is a reminder that infrastructure decisions have become strategic business decisions. Many organizations built critical workloads on dedicated #bare_metal because they needed something #public_cloud couldn’t always guarantee: ✔ Predictable performance ✔ Full hardware control ✔ Data sovereignty ✔ Compliance ✔ Transparent infrastructure economics Those requirements haven’t disappeared. If anything, they’ve become even more important. As AI drives infrastructure costs higher and regulations such as GDPR, DORA, and NIS2 continue to reshape the European market, more companies are asking a different question: Who can provide enterprise-grade infrastructure that combines performance with sovereignty? For many organizations, the answer isn’t to move everything back to a hyperscaler. It’s to adopt a #Cloud_Selective_strategy. 👉 Use the cloud where elasticity creates value. 👉 Use dedicated #Bare_Metal where performance, compliance, and predictable costs matter most. This is exactly where European infrastructure providers like NovoServe are helping businesses rethink their architecture, delivering enterprise Bare Metal designed for #AI, #iGaming, #AdTech, #FinTech, #SaaS, and other performance-critical workloads, while keeping data under #European_jurisdiction. The cloud market is evolving. #Bare_Metal isn’t disappearing. It’s just becoming more strategic than ever. If #Equinix_Metal was part of your infrastructure, where are you looking next? #BareMetal #Cloud_Selective_Infrastructure #DataSovereignty #AI #FinTech #AdTech #iGaming #SaaS NovoServe #ThinkOutsideTheCloud
