Supercharge Your Cloud Hosting Business with OpenMetal Cloud

Benefits of Implementing OpenMetal’s Hosted Private Cloud Solution

Customization

OpenMetal allows you to both internally use and offer customized private cloud environments to your customers, ensuring tailored solutions that align with unique requirements.

Each OpenMetal Cloud has its own private control plane. Select CPU and RAM subscription ratios, add specific OpenStack Projects, set up VM Flavors all your own, and much more.

With Ceph Block Storage, select from a validated hardware library that supports a variety of setups for network-based block storage, high IOPS local LVM storage, and massive RAM VMs for your cloud.

Less Work for Your Company

OpenMetal’s on-demand private cloud solution eliminates the need for managing extensive infrastructure investments, thus reducing workload and maintenance for your organization. The “Cloud Core” of OpenMetal Clouds are full OpenStack and Ceph Hyper-Converged clusters that deploy in about 45 seconds.

Scalability and Flexibility

You and your customers gain the benefits of a highly scalable and flexible cloud infrastructure, allowing for quick resource updates without the overhead of traditional public clouds. OpenMetal Clouds sit within pods, and each pod has large-scale DDOS Protection, 200Gbits of connectivity, and up to 20Gbits to each hardware node.

It also becomes simple to offer more locations and more products. Launch a new location quickly with a strong global footprint, and with only 3 servers to start. We provide PoC clouds to let you try before you buy, and ramps to offset startup costs. Offer customers high IOPs NVMe block storage, low-cost spinner-based object storage, and GPU-based VMs. Catalog hardware can also be sold as bare metal.

Lower Cloud Costs and Increased Profitability

Our mission is to lower your per-unit costs through VM, GB storage, IOPs, or Gbit bandwidth. We’ve accounted for everything included in your hard and soft cost purchases.

• Select, design, test, and negotiate for servers, routers, core switches, ToRs.
• Available spare hardware and service controls to mitigate failures such as SSDs reaching wear limits.
• Select and negotiate colocation, data center buildout, bandwidth, peering, and cross-connects, times 2 for redundancy plus out-of-band connections.
• Increase target usage of your data center space and power.
• Setup, test, and bring firmware up to date.

Based on our current data from OpenStack-based public cloud providers, we can lower cloud costs for almost all providers with the scale we have. Select from Ashburn/Washington DC (Eastern US), Los Angeles (Western US), and Amsterdam (EU) data centers.

With OpenMetal’s customizable solution, you can increase your revenue streams while providing your customers with a competitive and cost-effective cloud experience.

A Partner in the Industry

We are in this together! In working towards a more productive, accessible, and equitable cloud community, we want to become true partners to businesses we serve. 

OpenStack and private cloud infrastructure have historically been near-inaccessible to those without expansive budgets and resources. Our hosted private cloud solutions solve a part of this challenge. However, there are still always hurdles to overcome anytime you’re delving into a new way of doing things. Here are a few ways we support our cloud and hosting partners:

• Learn, experiment, and build with the support of our expert engineers and business consultants to speed up onboarding and help tackle problems. 
• We provide both long and short term agreements, or even no agreement to start, allowing flexibility with your needs and budget. Once you’re happy, you can lock in your price for up to 5 years.
• Ramp up periods allow you to align your costs with revenue from your new infrastructure, and ease any transition period from old providers.
• We’re also proponents of growing and improving together – try out new hardware others don’t have, experiment with unreleased or beta software, and design your perfect IT roadmap without huge upfront investments. Collaborate with our team and other leaders on strategy and innovative business models.
