Cato Metal ephemeral App Servers are perfect for modern, scalable web applications, data processing, transcoding, AI model training, content delivery, or similar computing needs.
Your automation can spin up and retire instances as needed through our API, allowing you to scale your applications on demand—giving you the benefits of bare metal hardware with the flexibility of cloud resources. Application resiliency is achieved by spreading your workloads across facilities and pods.
You can also use Cato Metal servers for non-critical business applications, such as test environments or on-demand model training and transcoding. Cato Metal allows you to beat traditional cloud costs while supporting the environment with second-life servers that take advantage of wasted power capacity in the data center.

Using the Cato Metal Console you can start, stop, and configure things like server ports and networks, as well as accessing the server’s console.
Subject to availability, additional servers can be deployed within 4 hours during business hours, with emergency deployment available 24/7 for enterprise customers.
Our operating system offering varies, and is shown when you select a server for deployment. Currently it is limited to Linux family systems.
Our application servers excel at running enterprise applications, load balancers, web platforms, and other CPU-intensive workloads. See KB 1000: Ephemeral Systems for more in this regard.
