OpenMetal’s 2024 Year in Review

NTT DATA’s 2026 Global AI Report finds enterprise AI constrained not by model performance but by the infrastructure beneath it. This article covers what the research found, why the private vs sovereign AI distinction matters for infrastructure decisions, and what organizations getting ahead are doing differently right now.

The private cloud resurgence isn’t anecdotal. OpenStack deployments are set to quadruple by 2029, 21% of cloud workloads have already been repatriated, and VMware is projected to lose 35% of workloads within two years of Broadcom’s licensing changes. This article pulls the data together and explains what’s actually driving the shift.

The 2026 hardware supply crisis is real and affecting every infrastructure provider. This article explains what’s driving component cost increases, how hyperscaler pricing absorbs and amplifies supply shocks, what fixed-cost dedicated infrastructure actually protects you from, and what OpenMetal’s new v5 hardware delivers in the current market.

Singapore’s National AI Strategy 2.0, Budget 2026, and billions in hyperscaler investment have made it one of APAC’s most active AI markets. This article covers what the strategy’s governance and data sovereignty requirements actually demand from infrastructure, and how dedicated private cloud fits into a compliant AI stack in Singapore.

Most organizations default to the closest data center and revisit that decision only when something breaks. This guide covers the four factors that should drive location decisions and walks through OpenMetal’s Ashburn, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and Singapore locations so you can match the right infrastructure to your actual requirements.

The official hardware specs for Sui, Aptos, and Solana tell you the minimums. They don’t explain why those numbers exist, what happens when your hosting can’t actually deliver them, or how shared cloud infrastructure fails these workloads in specific and predictable ways.

Private cloud evaluations at SaaS companies usually stall on the same handful of concerns: ops complexity, losing managed services, scale requirements, migration risk, and unpredictable pricing. This article addresses each misconception directly and explains what a private cloud evaluation actually looks like in practice.

Enterprise clients in regulated industries are asking harder infrastructure questions than most MSPs are equipped to answer. This article covers where the Microsoft stack has limits for compliance workloads, what private cloud adds to an MSP’s portfolio, and how to start without overhauling your entire stack.

EU AI Act compliance is more than a legal project, but an architecture decision. This article breaks down the four infrastructure requirements high-risk AI systems must meet, where public cloud creates compliance gaps, and how dedicated EU infrastructure with hardware-level isolation changes the picture.

EU expansion means facing data residency questions your US infrastructure can’t easily answer. This guide breaks down what EU customers actually need, why Amsterdam is the right location, how fixed-cost hosted infrastructure compares to hyperscaler EU regions, and what you don’t actually need to build.
