Hardware & presales

A NOC on the hardware you trust

Run BareNOC Appliance on hardware you already own — a mini-PC, an old server, or a proper rack unit. We'll help you pick the right box for each site.

Example BareNOC appliance rack layout

A simple 1U start

  • Appliance core (1U or mini-PC) — runs the NOC; Proxmox + the appliance ISO.
  • A managed switch — for the network it watches.
  • Backup NAS or disk — offsite + local backups.
  • UPS / PDU — clean power and graceful shutdowns.

Bring your own hardware, or ask us to spec and ship a rack for your office or a client site.
