Akritai Ads Baremetal
Run the same ultra-low-latency bot-filtering engine used in public cloud on your own hardware. Maximize traffic efficiency at a fixed cost, with zero risk of data leaving your perimeter.
Deploys plug-and-play into your existing Kubernetes environment. No data is transmitted externally, and the engine can be tuned for top performance against your specific hardware spec.
Why Baremetal
Three reasons to choose Akritai Baremetal
Full data sovereignty
All logs, metrics, and trace data stay strictly inside the customer’s internal infrastructure. External communication is completely blocked, meeting the strictest security regulations.
Hardware-tuned for maximum throughput
Pushes the customer’s own physical server resources — CPU core isolation, NUMA node allocation, and more — to the limit, delivering workload-optimized performance.
Predictable, flat pricing
Unlike cloud pay-per-use models where the bill fluctuates in real time with bot traffic volume, pricing is measured against your total monthly traffic.
Recommended Hardware Specification
These are the recommended baremetal specs for delivering 100% of Akritai Ads’ ultra-low-latency performance. Check whether your existing servers meet the spec below.
| CPU class | Dual-socket Intel Xeon (≥ 48 cores, ≥ 3.0 GHz base) |
| RAM | ≥ 256 GB ECC (NUMA-architecture-aware required) |
| NIC | ≥ 10 GbE (optional: DPDK 23.11+ for kernel-bypass) |
| OS | Compatible with Amazon Linux 2, RHEL 8.x, Rocky 8.x |
| Architecture note | For maximum stability, single-socket and AMD EPYC environments require a pre-deployment review. |
Performance Guarantee & Support
When deployed on the recommended hardware, the same strict performance metrics as the cloud version are guaranteed.
| Processing latency (P99) | Ultra-low-latency guaranteed (typically operating under 3 µs) |
| Legitimate traffic loss rate | 0% (stability-first architecture) |
| Technical support | Performance-tuning guide provided |
| Performance optimization | Includes OS kernel tuning and network-bottleneck-removal consulting |
Ultra-Low-Latency Environment Compatibility Checklist
If you’re already running RTB infrastructure on baremetal, you’ve likely tuned the system to the extreme. The Akritai engine integrates perfectly within the isolated environment below without stealing resources from your main logic.
1. Hardware compatibility
Confirm the CPU, RAM, and high-speed NIC infrastructure can handle the target traffic volume.
2. OS environment
Runs independently in a container on top of the stable Linux distribution where your main logic operates.
3. Respect for kernel parameters
Can be placed independently on the residual cores reserved for the sidecar, with no conflict against the parameters you have already applied.
4. Minimal system interference
Operates independently without disturbing your existing host settings.
5. Isolated launcher execution
Runs safely without impacting the resource consumption of your main logic.
