Bullionet deploys demanding AI bare-metal dedicated servers with Fiberway

Artificial-intelligence infrastructure is often described in terms of GPUs, memory and storage. Yet every useful workload also depends on the network: datasets must reach the machines, distributed jobs must exchange results, and inference services must remain reachable by their users.

Bullionet builds dedicated bare-metal and GPU infrastructure in France. Fiberway supplies the network foundation that lets those machines deliver consistent performance in production—and keeps malicious traffic from turning expensive compute into unavailable capacity.

Bare metal removes the noisy neighbour

Founded in 2021, Bullionet owns and operates its server infrastructure in French data centers rather than reselling another provider’s platform. Customers receive single-tenant machines with the CPU, memory and storage reserved for their own workloads.

That model is a strong fit for AI, rendering, analytics and high-performance computing. Direct access to the hardware removes hypervisor overhead and makes performance easier to predict. Bullionet offers NVIDIA GPU configurations from individual accelerators to multi-GPU systems for training, inference and production workloads.

The same promise has to extend to the network. A dedicated server connected through a congested or vulnerable uplink is only dedicated on paper.

The challenge: predictable throughput at every scale

AI workloads can create traffic in several directions at once. Teams move large datasets into the platform, synchronize data between systems, access remote management, expose inference endpoints and retrieve model outputs. GPU density can grow faster than expected, and each new node adds more potential traffic.

Bullionet advertises dedicated network ports from 1 Gbps up to 200 Gbps, unmetered traffic, custom BGP sessions and direct peering options. Delivering that range demands a backbone able to scale beyond a single facility or upstream.

Availability is just as important. Hosting and GPU infrastructure are attractive DDoS targets, and an attack does not need to compromise a server to make it useless. Saturating its network path is enough.

Fiberway connects and protects the platform

Fiberway combines premium connectivity with network-level protection. The result is a simpler service boundary for Bullionet: performance and security are built into the path that carries customer traffic.

FiberGuard™ analyses traffic on the Fiberway network and filters malicious flows at the backbone edge. Its always-on architecture is designed to mitigate attacks in around two seconds, with up to 35 Tbps of absorption capacity across Layers 3 to 7. Legitimate traffic continues toward Bullionet while attack traffic is stopped upstream.

For Bullionet customers, that foundation means:

• Volumetric anti-DDoS is active by default, without an appliance consuming capacity behind the uplink.
• Dedicated high-speed ports remain useful under load, supporting data-heavy AI and GPU workflows.
• BGP and traffic-engineering options give advanced customers control over how their networks are announced and reached.
• A multi-site backbone supports infrastructure across Paris, Lille and Marseille as one growing platform.
• Predictable connectivity costs complement Bullionet’s bare-metal model and unmetered traffic positioning.

Protection belongs in the network

Traditional on-premise mitigation begins too late for a volumetric attack. By the time the traffic reaches a firewall beside the servers, it has already consumed the access link. FiberGuard moves the protection upstream, where Fiberway has the visibility and capacity to separate hostile traffic from legitimate flows before the bottleneck.

This is especially important for AI inference and hosted services. A training job may continue internally during an attack, but customers, APIs and operations teams still need network access. Keeping the path available protects both the workload and the service built around it.

One foundation for the next server and the next site

Bullionet’s platform spans several French locations and a wide range of server profiles. That growth should not require a different connectivity and protection design for every rack. Fiberway provides a common network layer that can expand with new GPU nodes, larger ports and additional sites.

It is a natural match: Bullionet makes compute dedicated and predictable; Fiberway makes the network carrying that compute resilient, scalable and protected.
