OpenMetal Cloud Core

Hosted Private Cloud Cores – Standard Features

Compute

Virtual machines are supplied by KVM, the industry standard Type 1 hypervisor. Common VM images (OSs) and typical resource flavors come preconfigured. Create your own images and flavors to best fit your applications. Tune your CPU and RAM to vCPU and vRAM ratios to optimize your costs.

Networking

Cutting edge software defined networking for private networks plus up to 20gbits per server public internet access. Create hundreds or even thousands of autonomous virtual private clouds each with their own routers, switches, point to point VPN, load balancers, firewalls, and more.

Block Storage

Block storage is available in three different classes of performance and resiliency. Choose from networked triplicate copy and highly available with mid level IOPS to 2 drive RAID1 single server NVMe at very high IOPS, to single drive, direct access NVMe, at the highest IOPS and throughput possible.

Object Storage

S3 compatible object storage is available directly within any hyper-converged or converged clusters. For large data needs, standalone storage clusters are also available that can scale easily to over 20 petabytes. Significant CPU and RAM allow on-the-fly compression and data manipulation.

Monitoring

OpenMetal Clouds include built-in cloud monitoring services from Datadog. These Day 2 systems brings visibility into key metrics, as well as the ability to receive notifications and alerts on potential issues and support to help diagnose them quickly.  Built to accelerate your team as they adapt your workloads.

Kubernetes

Running Kubernetes on your private cloud is straightforward and you can choose several approaches based on your preference. Self-service Kubernetes clusters are enabled in a prescriptive fashion within our GUI but we generally recommend you use the system you are familiar with. See our OpenShift/OKD, Rancher, KubeSpray, and kOps guides.

Bare Metal Dedicated Servers

Bare metal hardware is ideal for systems like Ceph, Clickhouse, Hadoop, Spark, and other large scale systems that are best running directly on hardware. Deploy fast with automated central and API provisioning. Standalone bare metal is available, or integrate with an OpenMetal Cloud for a hybrid approach.
