Our [Elastic Metal server](https://www.scaleway.com/en/elastic-metal/) offer provide 100% dedicated resources, combined with the advantages of the cloud, such as hourly billing and full flexibility. The server’s hardware is entirely dedicated to you, with no virtualization, overallocation, or neighbors on it. They come combined with a powerful [REST-API](https://www.scaleway.com/en/developers/api/elastic-metal/), allowing you to automate tasks on your machines and deploy them automatically with tools like [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/).
Scaleway's [Elastic Metal servers](https://www.scaleway.com/en/elastic-metal/) provide 100% dedicated resources while offering the flexibility and scalability of the cloud, including hourly billing and full customization. The hardware is entirely dedicated to you — free from virtualization, overallocation, or neighboring tenants.

The new deployment in one command feature allows you to speed up the delivery of your servers, as you do not have to wait for it to be delivered to install the server. You can do both in a single API call, and your server is up and running in less than 15 minutes.
Elastic Metal servers also feature a robust [REST API](https://www.scaleway.com/en/developers/api/elastic-metal/) that enables seamless automation of tasks and deployments. Integration with tools like [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/) further streamlines infrastructure management.

The **one-command deployment feature** accelerates server provisioning by combining delivery and setup into a single API call. This simplifies server provisioning, ensuring your machine is fully operational in less than 15 minutes.

## Scaleway Command Line Interface overview

The [Scaleway Command Line Interface (CLI)](https://github.com/scaleway/scaleway-cli) allows you to pilot your Scaleway infrastructure directly from your terminal, providing a faster way to administer and monitor your resources. Scaleway CLI is easy to set up and use, and an essential tool for operating efficiently in your cloud environment. The CLI provides many functionalities, including the ability to create and administer Elastic Metal servers.

RAID1 configurations offer redundancy by mirroring data across two drives. If one drive fails, the other continues operating, ensuring data integrity. This guide explains how to replace a failed drive and rebuild the RAID1 array using the `mdadm` utility.

Each Elastic Metal server uses a RAID1 configuration after installation from the Scaleway console. If you want to change the RAID configuration of the server, you can modify the RAID array using [rescue mode](/bare-metal/elastic-metal/how-to/use-rescue-mode/).

<Macro id="requirements" />

- A Scaleway account logged into the [console](https://console.scaleway.com)
- [Owner](/identity-and-access-management/iam/concepts/#owner) status or [IAM permissions](/identity-and-access-management/iam/concepts/#permission) allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
- An Elastic Metal server with at least two disks in RAID1
