Physical Compute Overview
The Proximity Cloud > Physical Compute Overview shows you a visual representation of the physical devices (nodes) that can be provisioned to contain your compute.
The aim of this page is to provide information on your physical VPS capacity (how many nodes you have in each VPS cluster), as well as to show Dedicated Server nodes that haven’t got operating systems provisioned on them yet, or where the operating system provisioning has not completed yet.
Note that only Dedicated Servers that have been provisioned with Operating Systems will show up in the My Compute Items list.
In the Rack menu at the top right of the screen, select a rack to show its compute capacity.
Dedicated Server Capacity shows the bare metal compute installed within your rack available for you to provision directly upon.
This page also shows the status of nodes which are not yet available to deploy upon.
The following actions can be taken on this page:
From the Actions menu of a Dedicated Server, you can provision a Dedicated Server. Users with correct permissions will be able to provision one of their Dedicated Server nodes (i.e. provision an operating system on the DS) if they have at least one ready to deploy.
You can also provision a Dedicated Server for Proximity Cloud from the Build page on the left hand menu.
From the Actions menu of a Dedicated Server, you can also decommission a Dedicated Server. Users with correct permissions can decommission a Dedicated Server (which will wipe the machine and return it to the ‘Ready to deploy’ state) or choose to redeploy it with a blank operating system template.
You can also request extra compute capacity within your rack. If you are out of compute or planning in needing more in the near future, we have several quick request buttons that will let our internal team know you are needing more. This will open up a support request ticket which can organise dates and billing activities.
The Inventory endpoint provides a list of all physical devices (nodes) that contain your compute, and their association to individual chassis.
