Q: Which OpenMetal servers are TDX-capable at their base configuration?

The XL v4 and XL v5 are TDX-capable at their base configuration, which meets Intel’s memory-population gate. TDX is not enabled by default: you enable it yourself in the server BIOS, following OpenMetal’s documentation.

See bare metal pricing

Whether a server is TDX-capable is determined by how its memory is populated. A server qualifies when every memory channel’s first slot is filled symmetrically across both sockets, which on this platform is the 1 TB fill. Meeting that gate makes the server TDX-capable; TDX still ships turned off, and you enable it in the server BIOS yourself, following OpenMetal’s documentation. The servers that meet the gate at their base configuration:

  • XL v4: 1,024 GB DDR5 (2x Xeon Gold 6530, 64C/128T) — meets the gate at its base configuration
  • XL v5: 1,024 GB DDR5-6400 (2x Xeon 6530P Granite Rapids, 64C/128T) — meets the gate at base, no memory change

The Large v4 and Large v5 are TDX upgrade-eligible: both have 8 open DIMM slots that can be populated to reach the 1 TB gate, after which you enable TDX in BIOS. That RAM upgrade is a customer-initiated change coordinated with the OpenMetal team, and component pricing and lead time are quoted at the time of order. For the enablement steps, see OpenMetal’s guide, Enabling Intel TDX on Bare Metal. Intel SGX is available on all of these servers at their base memory configuration.

“Moving our Netherlands region onto OpenMetal completely changed how we operate. We went from a room full of aging leased hardware to a handful of modern NVMe-backed servers that are faster, denser, and far more cost-efficient. The best part was how easy the transition felt — our cloud stack didn’t need to change at all. It just worked.”
