Automation of infrastructure is one of our key advantages. Just like our on-demand hosted private cloud, our bare metal servers are delivered quickly and easily, cloud style. In addition to the catalog below, integrated or standalone bare metal pricing is available from within our Central Control Panel and can also be seen as part of a blended bare metal cloud and OpenStack cloud on our page for Cloud Core Pricing.
All servers have separate boot drives. For custom configurations please schedule a meeting.

Support Level Options
Our goal is your success with your bare metal servers and cloud infrastructure. The following options allow companies to balance costs against management levels.
Hardware Only
The base level of support for teams that will run their own clouds. We handle all hardware issues.
- Lowest cost
- Great for teams with experience running clouds already
- Engineer to engineer support for onboarding period only
Assisted Management
Great for teams that want to use the cloud resources but need some assistance in running the cloud itself.
Recommended (Pricing Calculator)
- Very good cost ratio for Large and XL based clouds
- Engineer to engineer support
- Monthly performance auditing and fixes
- Best effort in application consulting
Managed Custom
Custom options are available. All deployments are highly automated so costs are still low.
- Everything in Assisted Management
- Multi-region cloud support
- Up to fully managed private cloud
- Custom services
- RHEL options
Bare Metal and Cloud Pricing FAQs, Eligibility, and Usage Restrictions
Your budget is found under the settings in each individual cloud. It can also be set when first provisioning the cloud.
All usage is subject to our full Terms of Service.
When you are new and do not have any billing history, the following is typically to expect if approved, subject to hardware availability:
- Companies will get 1 cloud, 5 days per use, 3 uses per month
- Individuals will get 1 cloud, 8 hours per use, 3 uses per month
- Open source partners will get 1 cloud, 5 days per use, 3 uses per month
During free deployment time, you can request to extend your free time or add your billing information and move it to a paying production state. At the end of a free period, if you do not convert it to paying, the cloud will be automatically recycled, and no payment is due.
With billing history or validated production workloads being moved, the following may apply, subject to hardware availability:
- 1 or more clouds, use as required, up to 30 days per use
Please note free usage is not guaranteed, can be removed at any time, and is subject to our full Terms of Service.
There are also modifications to billing terms based on certain types of workloads. See the FAQ for “Do you have any limitations on content or workloads?”
- Preparing infrastructure to move in an existing workload
- Considering a new way to use a cloud and need to create a Proof of Concept
- Preparing to upgrade an existing cloud and need to validate the process or try the new features
- Testing performance of a new set of hardware to decide if you will upgrade the hardware
- Training that includes disruptive tests, like reboots of hardware nodes
- Testing a new product or service just prior to production release
Common examples of “production use”:
- Running workloads that are part of your company’s normal business operations
- Delivering content or assets to end-users, both external and internal to your company
- Using the infrastructure for development operations
- Hosting applications, processing data, providing resources
- Storing non-test data
- Long-term product or service development
Please review our Terms of Service for more information or contact sales.
Your team’s access to development time is a ratio of current or future production spends and based on hardware availability at the time of launching the Private Cloud Core. Once the cloud is provisioned, you have access to it until the time period expires. If you return the cloud prior to the end of the free period, no payment is due.
All use of free Private Cloud Cores must conform to non-production use or your eligibility may be rescinded, and you may be billed production rates for the time the cloud was in use.
In order to evaluate your company’s eligibility, the following information is required:
- Corporate email address
- Corporate site
- 2 or more team members (you count as 1) signed up
- Common profile info like phone number, your role, the estimated time of production needs, etc.
- Other information, including a government-issued ID, may be required
Approval will get you one of the following levels, subject to hardware availability, of free Private Cloud Core for non-production use:
- 1 cloud, 5 days per use, 3 uses per month
- 1 cloud, 10 days per use, 3 uses per month
- 1 or more clouds, use as required, up to 30 days per use
Your account manager can extend free use periods.
In order to evaluate your eligibility, the following is required:
- Public information about you, your organization, or the project
- Publicly available profiles like a Github account, LinkedIn account, Freenode account, etc.
- Validated personal email account
- Other information, including a government-issued ID, may be required
What approval will get you, subject to hardware availability and our mutual agreement:
- Free development and production cloud usage
Due to the size and expense of private clouds though, we must have some guardrails. Currently, we can provide clouds to individuals that are not attached to a company, if the hardware is available, 8 hours of a Private Cloud Core per month. This should allow testing and training to start in the morning on day 1 and finish at the end of day 2.
In order to evaluate your eligibility, the following is required:
- Publicly available profiles like a GitHub account, LinkedIn account, Freenode account, etc.
- Validated personal email account
- Typical profile info like your role at work
- Other information, including a government-issued ID, may be required
What approval will get you, subject to hardware availability:
- 8 hours per use of a full Private Cloud Core for non-production use, up to 3 uses per month.
Certain usage may place you in a different billing bracket. This is typically determined by the power utilization of your servers. You will be notified and have up to 60 days to address the utilization before moving into the new billing bracket. For activities like crypto-mining, there is no grace period. Please notify your account manager if you believe your workload is likely to have high continuous power consumption. They will provide you with options and pricing for these special cases.
