We are creating a standard open source only install of Delta Lake, Spark, and optionally, supporting systems like MLflow. This means we will only be installing and depending on bare metal servers, VMs on OpenStack, or open source cloud storage systems.

With more focus on big data and the need to translate many data sources to other data consumers, Apache Kafka has emerged as the leading tool for efficiently and reliably handling this. In addition to configurations, maximizing Kafka’s capabilities is tied directly to the infrastructure you select.
Nvidia is adapting to both AI and improvements needed in data center GPUs for non-AI work. View a comparison of their GPUs here.
OpenStack Horizon has long been the standard GUI for management and provisioning of OpenStack cloud resources. But a new dashboard has been growing in popularity and features, and may be a better option for many users.
In the landscape of big data analytics, Apache Spark has emerged as a powerful tool for in memory big data processing. The foundation for maximizing Spark’s capabilities lies in the infrastructure. OpenMetal’s XL V2.1 servers offer a solution that marries high performance with cost-effectiveness for Spark clusters.
When it comes to processing big data, Hadoop clusters are a popular and mature open source system that enables businesses to analyze vast amounts of data efficiently.

Cloud has matured dramatically in the last 10 years. In the beginning there were only a few cloud deployment model options. Today, in 2024, there are many easy and fast ways to get cloud. Let’s go through different cloud deployment models that are mature and provide a quality experience when measured against solid cloud native requirements.
Ready to explore the advantages of on-premise clouds alongside Todd Robinson, the President of OpenMetal? Under his guidance, delve into the details and acquire valuable insights on establishing your very own on-premise cloud. This information will empower you to seamlessly transfer workloads away from AWS with ease.
In the beginning there were only a few cloud deployment model options. One of these, the public cloud deployment model, was dominant both marketing wise and in the quality of the cloud experience. Unless you were ok to wait for 4 to 12 months for a quality private cloud your only options was “to move to the cloud” at AWS.
As cloud became more and more popular in the last 10 years the definition of a private cloud versus a virtual private cloud became muddled. This article delves into the differences between the two and which is a better choice for your workloads.
Red Hat CentOS will now be the sole repository for public RHEL-related source code releases. Read our president’s response to this change and his view on possible paths forward for the open source community.

More and more companies are facing the reality of high costs coming from their public cloud deployments on AWS, Azure, GCP and the other mega clouds. This has given rise to the concept of Cloud Repatriation.
In this article, we will go over the combination of the OpenMetal Hosted Private Cloud with Assisted Management. We will also offer suggestions on what can be added for Custom
A search on “public cloud advantages” will nearly always include some statements about public cloud being “less expensive” than alternatives. Unfortunately, this common narrative is simply not true for many situations!
More information about alternatives to public cloud is needed to help leaders in IT explain when public cloud is right or when private cloud, bare metal, colocation, or owned data centers are the right choice.
“Cloud Repatriation” has recently become a buzzword – and one that builds on the confusion of “cloud”. This term is typically used when talking about companies that are significantly overpaying for infrastructure from their public cloud of choice.
OpenStack historically has major barriers for SMBs (and really all organizations, enterprises included). These factors have put OpenStack private clouds out of reach for the vast majority of SMBs or organizations with similar constraints like smaller universities or mid-sized nonprofits. Our on-demand OpenStack platform was built to make OpenStack simple and accessible for everyone.
A vast majority of organizations have adopted either a public cloud or private cloud. Within these organizations, we’ve noticed a significant challenge for the IT professionals is to determine the right placement of their dollars against cloud services provided by either public clouds or private clouds.
