XXL v4 – Powerhouse server with 2048GB DDR5 RAM
OpenMetal XXL v4 come with a massive memory capacity of 2048GB DDR5 RAM. DDR5 offers faster speeds, improved bandwidth, and higher efficiency compared to previous generations. With a data transfer rate of 4800MHz, it’s optimized for high-performance tasks, such as large-scale virtualization, AI training, and handling extensive datasets in real-time.
- High RAM is essential for running memory-intensive applications, such as big data analytics, databases, virtualization, and AI/ML workloads. More RAM ensures that large datasets can be processed in memory, leading to faster performance and reduced latency.
- Higher RAM also allows for better virtualization and containerization, enabling the hosting of more virtual machines (VMs) or containers per server. This boosts server utilization, optimizes costs, and provides greater flexibility for multi-tenant environments.
- Servers with higher RAM can handle multiple concurrent processes efficiently without performance degradation. This is crucial for environments running multiple services, applications, or workloads simultaneously, ensuring system stability and reliability.
- High RAM can be used for caching data, reducing the need to access slower storage devices. This speeds up data retrieval, enhances database operations, and improves overall server response times, which is particularly beneficial for web hosting or content delivery.
- In-memory databases, which keep the entire dataset in RAM, rely heavily on large memory capacities for performance. For businesses that require real-time analytics, high RAM is critical for running such databases efficiently.
OpenMetal’s XXL v4 server, with its substantial 2048GB DDR5 RAM, is a powerhouse for handling the most demanding workloads. This immense memory capacity ensures exceptional multitasking, faster data retrieval, and enhanced system stability. Investing in such high RAM future-proofs infrastructure, providing scalability, flexibility, and optimized performance, especially for enterprises requiring real-time analytics and robust virtual environments.

OpenMetal XL v4 & XXL v4 Server Comparison
Both OpenMetal’s XL v4 and XXL v4 bare metal servers are powerful solutions ideal for high-performance computing, AI/ML workloads, big data analytics, and virtualized environments. They both feature dual Intel Xeon Gold 6530 processors with 64 cores and 128 threads, providing robust multi-threaded performance.
Shared Strengths:
- CPU Power: Both servers have dual Intel Xeon Gold 6530 processors for a total of 64 cores and 128 threads, ideal for compute-heavy applications like AI/ML, big data processing, virtualized environments, and complex simulations.
- NVMe Storage: Both servers utilize high-speed Micron 7450 MAX NVMe drives, making them suitable for applications requiring fast data access and low-latency storage.
- Memory Bandwidth: Equipped with DDR5 4800MHz RAM, they are both excellent for memory-bound workloads and support fast data throughput, critical for databases, caching, and high-volume transaction processing.
Differences Explained:
Storage
- XL v4: Equipped with 4x 6.4TB NVMe drives, totaling 25.6TB of ultra-fast storage. This is sufficient for high IOPS workloads, databases, or general enterprise applications. The XL v4 also has a capacity for a total of 8 drives, so the storage can be easily expanded if needed.
- XXL v4: Increased default storage capacity with 6x 6.4TB NVMe drives, totaling 38.4TB, suitable for larger datasets, extensive data lakes, or environments requiring more localized storage redundancy and speed. The server comes with a maximum of 6 slots for drives, which are all included in the default setup.
Memory Capacity
- XL v4: 1024GB of DDR5 RAM is more than enough for large-scale applications, extensive virtualization, and handling multiple memory-intensive tasks simultaneously.
- XXL v4: With 2048GB of RAM, the XXL can manage even more demanding workloads, in-memory databases, extensive AI model training, or higher VM density in virtualization scenarios.
The XL v4 is a powerful, well-rounded choice that handles intensive tasks with efficiency and is suitable for most demanding enterprise needs. The XXL v4, however, is for those who require extreme capacity and memory, making it perfect for specialized environments where storage and memory scalability are critical. Both models deliver high performance and reliability but cater to distinct scales of operation.
OpenMetal XXL v4 is available either as a standalone bare metal server or as part of an on-demand, hyper-converged three-server hosted private cloud built on OpenStack and Ceph.
