Creating a cloud-like bare metal experience in the data centre

For organisations looking to turn the management of bare-metal server resources into a cloud-like environment, hardware testing is a must-do. Not only does it lead to optimal hardware utilisation, it also reduces the cost of operations and increases developer productivity.

Optimised testing also eases the hardware validation process by providing a framework that allows large-scale, automated testing of hardware with minimum effort to ensure that the physical infrastructure is ready to serve production workloads. Welcome to metal-as-a-service (MAAS).

In this whitepaper, you will learn how MAAS provides a flexible and straightforward framework for administrators to test their hardware:

What MAAS frameworks allow users to do
How MAAS installs dependencies, and tracks progress and results
The types of tests MAAS provides in relation to storage, CPU, memory and others
How MAAS tests servers at scale
