    BareMetal - Engineered for Extremes

    Experience a powerful operating system that prioritizes security and optimized performance, tailored to meet and exceed your computing needs.

    High Frequency Trading

    Markets operate at microsecond scales. BareMetal’s architecture removes scheduler delays and other background processes so financial algorithms can execute deterministically, making every microsecond count in high-frequency trading environments.

    Cloud Infrastructure

    In cloud and virtualization settings, typical OS overhead reduces effective workload density. By running a “Just Enough OS,” service providers can host more workloads on the same hardware and eliminate unnecessary processes that consume CPU or memory.

    High-Performance Computing

    BareMetal’s tiny footprint and direct hardware access make it suitable for IoT gateways, real-time analytics devices, and other embedded deployments where both performance and resource efficiency are essential.

    Value Proposition

    Delivering peak performance and security.

    For High-Frequency Traders

    Problem: Non-deterministic latency and kernel jitter

    Solution: Zero-latency execution. Eliminate the OS "noise floor" to win the race to the order book.

    Performance metric: 100% Deterministic execution.

    How BareMetal Improves Performance and Security

    BareMetal is a stripped down kernel written in assembly to deliver 100% deterministic execution.

    Security

    By isolating a single application’s resources and avoiding monolithic policy layers, BareMetal reduces common attack vectors found in traditional kernels. This grants application-level control with fewer implicit assumptions and less shared state vulnerable to exploitation.

    Performance

    The design purposefully minimizes context switches and kernel overhead. By delegating resource decisions to the application, systems eliminate many delays that arise from general-purpose kernel scheduling and background services. This yields high responsiveness and deterministic behavior critical in time-sensitive computing.
