Abstract
With the increasing costs of public cloud services such as AWS, Azure, and GCP, many companies opt to establish their private cloud infrastructure. This transition necessitates the development of an adequate Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) team to manage and maintain the data center. A key challenge in this domain is monitoring the health of the bare metals (also called servers) to ensure high availability and reliability. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to bare metal health monitoring in private data centers. We will discuss the problem statement literature review, outline an industry-standard solution, propose a high-level system design to ensure real-time monitoring, fault detection, and automated remediation, and provide experimental results to show how our approach is better than existing industry solutions.

Keywords
Private Cloud, Data Centers, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Server Health Monitoring, Baremetal, Fault Detection, Automated Remediation.
