orderBareMetalInstance.cs

// Order a monthly billed Bare Metal Computing instance.
//
// Build a SoftLayer_Container_Product_Order_Hardware_Server object for a new
// Bare Metal Cloud (BMC) order and pass it to the SoftLayer_Product_Order API 
// service to order it. In this care we'll order a 4 core instance with 16G 
// RAM, 1000mbit NICs, 2000GB bandwidth, a 250G SATA drive, Windows 2008 R2 
// Datacenter edition (64-bit) with Hyper-V, and default server order options. 
// See below for more details.
//
// Backend code to call the SoftLayer API was generated with the wsdl.exe 
// utility:
