OMI Release V1.4: New XL-V2 Node Type Added

OpenMetal Cloud Hardware Catalog Update – March 15th, 2022

We are refreshing our catalog based on feedback and customization for customers and potential customers in the last 6 months.  We are excited to add larger hardware nodes for greater density and bigger workloads.

This is a very large system, including the latest Gold Xeon, 1TB of RAM, and 4 NVMe drives.  We selected this configuration based on feedback from companies, particularly SaaS Providers, that needed great cost savings, and wanted the multiple drives to break up the storage into HA Ceph for data that needs high resiliency and to leave 2 or more drives directly available to the VMs for massive IOPS.  As in all of our Gen 1 and Gen 2 hardware, our NVMes are extremely performant:

Intel P4610 NVMe SSDs are data center grade industry-leading drives:

• 638,000 IOPS Random Read
• 222,000 IOPS Random Writes

Extra Large (XL) – Gen 2 – Compute Node in Central

The XL can be utilized within a HyperConverged Cloud Core, as a Converged add-on node, or as a Compute Only Node.  This new hardware also forms the basis for our recommended SaaS on Private Cloud starting cluster that has huge savings versus public cloud or DIY clouds…
