Bare Metal Dedicated Server with Micron 7450 MAX NVMe

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) drives offer several advantages over traditional SATA SSDs and HDDs:

  • High Speed: NVMe drives provide significantly higher read/write speeds due to their efficient protocol and direct connection to the PCIe bus.
  • Low Latency: They offer lower latency, which means faster access to data.
  • Increased Bandwidth: NVMe drives use PCIe lanes, providing more bandwidth compared to SATA connections.
  • Better IOPS Performance: They deliver higher Input/Output operations per second, enhancing performance in data-intensive tasks.
  • Scalability and Flexibility: NVMe allows for greater scalability and is suitable for various sizes and forms of systems.
  • Energy Efficiency: Generally, they are more energy-efficient than traditional drives.

These advantages make NVMe drives ideal for applications requiring high-speed data access and processing, such as gaming, video editing, and server applications.

OpenMetal’s XL v2.1 dedicated servers include 4X6.4TB Micron 7450 MAX NVMe SSD’s. These high-performance solid-state drives are designed for enterprise data center applications. Key advantages of this product include:

  • Advanced Technology: Utilizes Micron’s state-of-the-art, 176-layer NAND technology.
  • Performance: Offers industry-leading performance due to the combination of high layer count NAND and PCIe Gen4.
  • Low Latency: Consistently delivers latency as low as 2ms for 99.9999% QoS.
  • Versatility: Available in a broad range of PCIe Gen4 SSD form factors, catering to various platform functions.
  • Capacity Range: Comes in capacities from 400GB to 15.36TB.
    OCP NVMe SSD 2.0 Support: Enhances data center management and resolves common issues effectively.

Public Networking, IPv4 

OpenMetal Private Networking

OpenMetal’s cloud service provides enhanced public networking capabilities for bare metal environments. Customers receive a base public IPv4 block, with options to use their own block or acquire additional ones for a fee.

Key features include over 200Gbits of edge connectivity per availability zone, 20gbit per server connectivity, and direct IP connections to the public internet with firewall protection. IPs can also link to cloud load balancers for flexible routing to private IP space.

Each client’s hardware operates on dedicated VLANs, with up to 10gbit DDoS protection included. Traffic within VLANs, whether through public or private IP spaces, is covered, while only traffic exiting the VLANs to the public internet incurs fair egress pricing after a base allowance.
