Bare Metal Cloud deployment in the American Tower Edge Data Center in Austin uses an innovative architecture to deliver advanced network speeds. Through multiple virtual cross-connects to a Megaport Cloud Router, the traffic is routed from the edge to phoenixNAP's other locations in the U.S., accelerating transfer speeds and connectivity. As such, Bare Metal Cloud edge instances are particularly convenient for next-generation workloads using 5G transports or services built on top of 5G.

"5G workloads are the future of business, and we are adapting our service offering to meet market demands," said Ian McClarty, President of phoenixNAP. "Our collaboration with American Tower is instrumental for us to meet this goal. Through our edge installation, we will provide low-latency access to Bare Metal Cloud out of most locations in the U.S. Southwest, enabling users to streamline latency-sensitive and high-bandwidth applications. We are excited to start the year with such a major announcement, and we appreciate the help and support of the American Tower team in making this possible."

"Our edge infrastructure is built to enable innovative service offerings for new markets, such as Bare Metal Cloud," said Eric Watko, Vice President, Product Line Management, American Tower. "We are all witnessing the inflection point in the business ecosystem, with edge computing becoming essential to delivering new advanced services and applications globally. Allowing more businesses to innovate through technology is a mission we share with phoenixNAP."

phoenixNAP's Bare Metal Cloud platform is built to enable nearly instant provisioning of dedicated servers on an hourly or monthly billing model. With its own API, CLI, and certified Infrastructure as Code modules, Bare Metal Cloud is easy to scale and manage using popular DevOps tools. The powerful underlying hardware ensures consistent performance, even for the most demanding applications.

Bare Metal Cloud servers are currently available from eight strategic locations in the U.S., Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
