What is bare metal vs cloud infrastructure?+
Bare metal is dedicated physical hardware with no virtualization layer between the workload and the machine — full control over CPU, storage, and network, and no shared-tenant performance variance. We operate our own physical data center with purpose-built hardware, dedicated power, and full-stack control from bare metal to the application layer.
Can INC4 build a data center from scratch, or only manage existing hardware?+
Both. We design and build data centers from site selection and power infrastructure through bare-metal racks and cooling, the same way we built facilities running 20,000+ mining machines. If you already have hardware, we optimize it instead — DevOps pipelines, cloud-native architecture, bare-metal tuning, GPU hosting, and colocation at scale.
What use cases does INC4's compute infrastructure support?+
AI training, cryptocurrency mining, and edge computing. We run a Filecoin storage provider network with 400+ PB of total capacity across 200+ servers, a Bitcoin mining farm supporting 20,000 miners, and an Ethereum mining farm built for 10,000 GPUs.
Why own a physical data center instead of renting cloud capacity?+
Ownership gives us purpose-built hardware, dedicated power, and full-stack control — which is what lets us guarantee efficient, uninterrupted results for every project, instead of being subject to a cloud provider's shared infrastructure and pricing changes.
