PhoenixNAP —
Global Bare Metal, Private Cloud & DRaaS

PhoenixNAP's Bare Metal Cloud delivers on-demand dedicated physical servers with cloud-like provisioning speed — typically available in minutes rather than days. Unlike traditional dedicated servers with long lead times and fixed commitments, Bare Metal Cloud offers per-minute billing, an API for automated provisioning, and global availability across PhoenixNAP's data center locations. You get the full performance of a dedicated physical server without the hypervisor overhead of virtual machines.

PhoenixNAP maintains a broad set of compliance certifications relevant to regulated industries — including PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR readiness. Their Data Security Cloud product is specifically designed for workloads with strict compliance requirements around data sovereignty, encryption, and access controls. Fibi can help you identify which PhoenixNAP service tier aligns with your specific compliance obligations.

PhoenixNAP's DRaaS is powered by Veeam technology and delivers automated failover for virtual and physical workloads. The service replicates production workloads to PhoenixNAP infrastructure and provides defined RPO and RTO guarantees — often measured in minutes. In a disaster scenario, workloads can be failed over to PhoenixNAP's cloud environment with minimal intervention. DRaaS is available alongside other PhoenixNAP services for a consolidated infrastructure and DR strategy.

PhoenixNAP's Managed Private Cloud (MPC) is a VMware-based dedicated private cloud environment with full lifecycle management handled by PhoenixNAP's team. It is designed for enterprises that need the isolation and control of a private cloud without the operational overhead of managing VMware infrastructure internally. MPC is particularly well-suited for organizations with compliance requirements, legacy application workloads, or IT teams that prefer an outsourced management model.

PhoenixNAP operates carrier-neutral Tier III data centers across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific — allowing customers to bring multiple carriers into the same facility and maintain competitive pricing on connectivity. Unlike hyperscaler environments, PhoenixNAP's colocation is designed for enterprises that need physical control over their hardware, flexible cross-connect options, and compliance with data sovereignty requirements that prohibit multi-tenant cloud environments.

PhoenixNAP's Data Security Cloud is a specialized cloud platform engineered for data-sensitive workloads requiring advanced encryption, compliance controls, and threat protection. It goes beyond standard cloud security by embedding compliance frameworks directly into the infrastructure — relevant for healthcare, financial services, and government-adjacent organizations handling regulated data. Features include encryption at rest and in transit, dedicated key management, and audit-ready reporting.

Yes. PhoenixNAP is designed for hybrid cloud deployments — combining bare metal, managed private cloud, and colocation within the same facilities, with direct connectivity options to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Organizations can maintain sensitive or latency-critical workloads on PhoenixNAP infrastructure while extending into public cloud for burst capacity or SaaS integration. Fibi can map your workloads to the right mix of PhoenixNAP services for your hybrid architecture.
