In the Huawei CloudVC 21.0 architecture, the core Network Elements (NEs) are designed for flexible deployment. To meet high-performance requirements and provide dedicated resource allocation, all four primary components can be installed on bare-metal servers (typically Huawei's Taishan or 2288X series servers):

SMC and SC: Can be deployed on bare metal for large-scale registration and management capacity.

CloudMCU: Bare-metal deployment is often preferred for high-density media processing to ensure maximum port capacity and low latency.

CloudRSE: Bare-metal installation allows the Recording & Streaming Engine to handle intensive 1080p60 video concurrent recording and playback tasks without the overhead of a hypervisor.
