OpenMetal Cloud Expands Hardware Catalog and Cloud Features

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., March 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — OpenMetal, a division of InMotion Hosting, the first cloud provider to launch an on-demand private cloud, today announced the continued evolution of its cloud offering. With today’s news, OpenMetal is extending its cloud hardware catalog by adding larger hardware nodes for greater density and bigger workloads further making cloud cost savings a reality for customers.

Last week, OpenMetal announced the delivery of a true “as-a-service” private cloud, OpenMetal On-Demand Private Cloud. The driving force behind OpenMetal is customer satisfaction to ensure product delivery is seamless and scalable for customer growth.

Listening to OpenMetal’s current Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Provider customers, two driving factors are to achieve cost savings and high availability for data that requires high resiliency. OpenMetal chose the latest Intel Gold Xeon, 1TB of RAM, and 4 NVMe drives from Supermicro to complement this large system. This configuration exceeds greater cost savings, and provides the capability of having multiple drives to break up storage into high availability Ceph for data that needs high resiliency and to leave 2 or more drives directly available to the VMs for massive IOPS. OpenMetal’s Generation 1 and Generation 2 hardware contains extremely performant, data center grade, industry-leading, Intel P4610 NVMe SSDs with 638,000 IOPS Random Reads and 222,000 IOPS Random Writes.

Recommended for SaaS Providers, beginning on an On-Demand Private Cloud starter cluster, a new hardware, Extra Large (XL) – Generation 2 – Compute Node. This XL hardware can be utilized within a hyper-converged Cloud Core, a converged add-on, or a compute only node. OpenMetal recommends this due to the vast cost savings in comparison to a public cloud offering or a do-it-yourself (DIY) cloud.
