About BareMetal

Brief History:

BareMetal came out of consulting work on Internet connectivity and UNIX support. The transition to web and hosting services in 95 was obvious. The first clients were (of course) friends. Our core ethics can still be summarized as treating our clients as friends (we provide a solid service for a reasonable fee, we don't take advantage of client mistakes, etc). The proprietorship was converted into "BareMetal.com Inc" in 2000.

Our Name:

The name BareMetal was picked from "The Hacker Jargon File" where it refers to programming at the hardware level and to building computers and system software from scratch.

We liked the implications: depth of knowledge, ability to build clean systems, none of yesterday's headaches. We strive to keep this ideal by understanding everything we do without skipping the details.
