With OpenMetal Spot Hardware Pricing, you get access to production ready three-server hyper-converged Private Cloud Cores built on OpenStack and Ceph. These cores can be purchased independently or seamlessly integrated with your existing Cloud Cores in the OpenMetal Cloud, providing you with a flexible and robust cloud computing experience.
Unlike Spot Instances and Spot Virtual Machines offered by hyperscalers, which are only ideal for interruptible workloads and subject to abrupt recall or cancellation, OpenMetal Spot Hardware is perfect for both interruptible and planned workloads. Enjoy uninterrupted access for 30 days at a time, and relax knowing that recalls are only made with a generous 2-week notice.

Can individuals reserve Spot Hardware, or is it only available for organizations?
The Spot Hardware Program is specifically designed for organizations and is not available for individual use. We will require your business information which will be validated. Accounts may be pursuant to cancellation if conditions are not met.
How long can I reserve Spot Hardware at a time, and can it be extended?
Hardware can be reserved for 30 days at a time and will be auto-billed every 30 days unless canceled by the customer or recalled by OpenMetal. OpenMetal will provide a 2 week notice via the email on file before recalling hardware. Spot Hardware can be converted to a non-cancellable Cloud with a 2 week notice. Customers need to work with their Account Managers to facilitate this.
