Server overview

Available in Classic and VPC

Server is NAVER Cloud Platform's service that allows you to create and use servers in a cloud environment without purchasing physical server resources. It supports fast server creation, and you pay only for what you use, so it is an efficient choice when you want to reduce the burden of infrastructure operation or temporarily need a large amount of server resources.

Server features

Server offers these key features:

• Convenient server creation: You can easily create servers quickly using the web-based console. The server is provided according to the selected server image, without installing of a separate operating system. You can adjust the CPU or memory of the server being used through the specifications change feature.
• Provision of monitoring feature: Basic monitoring features are available for the CPU, network, memory, and disk. With the monitoring service, you can receive event notifications according to server status changes.
• Enhanced security: By default, a security setting (Security Hardening) for reinforcement of security is applied to all Linux and Windows servers provided by NAVER Cloud Platform. If you need to receive consultations or send inquiries regarding the application of strict security settings in addition to the basic security settings, then you can get help from security professionals.
• Efficient cost management: You can plan your expense management because the fees are only charged for the capacity and the amount of time you use the servers. You can easily add or return servers during service operation, which enables efficient management of expenses as well as quick and flexible response to various circumstances.
• Broad server specifications: A variety of server specifications are available so you can select a server with the desired specifications. g1 and g2 servers with XEN hypervisor type and g3 server with KVM hypervisor type are provided.
• Various types of block storage: Easily add additional storage if you need more than the default storage provided at the time of server creation. Configurable to suit your use.
  • g1/g2 servers: Select HDD for simple data storage and SSD type for fast data processing.
  • g3 server: Select Fixed Block Storage (FB) for sequential processing of large volumes of data and Common Block Storage (CB) for random processing of small volumes of data.
• SSD Server: SSD servers offer higher performance I/O compared to general HDD-based servers.
• GPU server: Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a computing resource optimized for simultaneous high performance processing. The GPU server is applicable to various components, such as image processing, rendering, scientific computing, and machine learning.
• Bare metal server: The bare metal server service is provided, which exclusively provides high-performance physical servers without virtualized environments. Because it is using dedicated servers that do not get affected by other cloud users, services that are sensitive to performance can always be operated stably. It is effective when large inputs and outputs occur or when swift response is required, and you can enjoy both the convenience of cloud services and the stability of hosting services.
