Cloud Expansion Node Pricing

Options for scaling a Cloud Core. Available on demand or with locked in pricing.

After you have launched a Cloud Core it can be expanded in many ways. Scale compute by itself, storage and compute together, or storage only. Add bare metal or pebibyte scale object clusters.

Your cloud can be as simple as 3 servers or can be hundreds of physical nodes spanning continents.

Full details can be found on cloud expansion and architecture product pages.

Globally merged clouds are offered via the large deployment process.

OpenMetal Cloud Expansion Node Pricing - Converged Node

Storage and compute nodes (or converged nodes) are one of the most popular ways to grow your clouds. Each node will increase both your compute and storage at the same time. Unlike your Cloud Core, these servers do not handle any cloud management and will be focused on workloads only. The servers are identically matched so key features, like live migration of VMs, continue to be available between these servers and your Cloud Core.

OpenMetal Cloud Expansion Node Pricing - Compute Node

Compute nodes are standalone nodes that do not need to be matched with your Cloud Core or your converged nodes. The drives on your compute nodes are not typically joined with your network storage but instead set up as single drives or within a local RAID. This is popular for applications that benefit from direct access to extremely high IOPS NVMe drives. Of note, VMs on compute nodes can continue using the network storage provided from your cloud.

OpenMetal Cloud Expansion Node Pricing - Storage Cloud

Storage clusters are a standalone cluster of 3 or more servers that provide network storage only. VMs on your cloud can use these resources for block storage, object storage, and file systems. The most common use is for large scale object storage. With a high ratio of NVMe cache disks you can expect high performance and the low cost of spinning media. More info and pricing. This is an advanced option our team will assist you with adding.

OpenMetal Cloud Expansion Node Pricing - Converged Cloud

 

Converged clusters are a standalone cluster of 3 or more servers that provide compute and network storage. The most common use is for workloads that have specific needs, different from what your cloud has in it now, but also follow a predictable compute versus storage ratio. Large clouds often have these since they are more efficient than standalone compute when deployed in large scale. This is an advanced option our team will assist you with adding.

OpenMetal Cloud Expansion Node Pricing - Bare Metal Server

 

Bare metal servers are standalone nodes that can either be joined with your cloud to share VLANs or can live in their own separate network. Access raw power as you need for your workloads or your customers. Any server available below can be used as a bare metal server. Each deployment of bare metal comes with several private VLANs and your IMPI access to allow advanced clustering including Hadoop, Ceph, Clickhouse, CloudStack, etc.

vCPU: is calculated from the physical Thread count minus CPU needed by the operating system and cloud system then times your selected ratio.

vRAM: is calculated from the physical RAM available minus RAM needed by the operating system and cloud system then times your selected ratio. 

Both vCPU and vRAM are industry-standard approaches used by public and private cloud systems. This can be adjusted for your managed private cloud if required.

Pricing FAQs for Expansion

Each OpenMetal Cloud that you create has a top-level budget set by the OpenMetal Central Admin level users for that cloud. As the admin, you set the maximum daily cost of your cluster. Whenever a server is requested, the interface or API will first check if your private cloud price would exceed your budget. If it exceeds your budget, the request is denied.
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.

Different regions have different legal requirements for content and workloads that are your responsibility to understand and conform with.

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.

OpenMetal uses open source technology for all major systems. There are no license fees for any OpenStack feature supplied in the standard cloud system or for any features supplied by additional OpenStack components. We do include access to Datadog for hardware node monitoring included in the cost of the cloud. If you elect to use Datadog for something other than the included hardware node monitoring, you would need to pay Datadog directly for this.

We are working on an API but currently you can through OpenMetal Central or with your account manager. Through API will be the recommended way as then you can also script the deployment of that hardware. If you have retained the “stock” deployment, our deployment system can continue to manage, add, and remove servers.
