Coverage Initiation: InMotion Hosting’s OpenMetal positions its OpenStack-based private cloud as a cheaper hyperscaler alternative
This market impact report was created by William Fellows, Research Director at 451 Research.
THE TAKE: Hoping to catch the wave of opportunity presented by demand for hosted and on-premises private cloud services, InMotion Hosting has spun off a project it has been incubating for a couple of years, calling it OpenMetal.
The company’s offerings are positioned as a way for organizations to access the benefits of cloud, at scale, on dedicated resources, both as a cheaper alternative to public cloud for existing hyperscale users and for traditional IT or colocation users seeking a way into cloud. The economics are claimed in part to be due to OpenMetal’s use of the OSS OpenStack.
