OpenMetal – The Fastest Path to OpenStack
All OpenMetal Hosted Private Clouds are powered by OpenStack and Ceph, and start with a Cloud Core – a hyper-converged architecture comprised of three servers of your selected hardware configuration, provisioned as a service.
- The Cloud Core is deployed using industry-standard tools, Kolla-Ansible and Ceph-Ansible, ensuring a robust and scalable foundation.
- It delivers a fully operational control plane along with pre-configured block storage, object storage, compute resources, and networking infrastructure.
- Includes Ceph storage plus LVM (Logical Volume Manager) storage options.
- 100% of your servers in your VLANs, with root ownership, so you have complete flexibility to extend and customize your cloud environments.
- With the single-tenant environment you operate on dedicated infrastructure that offers all the security and control you expect with a private cloud.
- The Cloud Core incorporates essential OpenStack components, with additional services and extensions available upon request.
- Get right to using your cloud via Horizon, Terraform, or CLI.
- OpenMetal designed their OpenStack powered Private Clouds to seamlessly support both public cloud and private cloud workloads, offering versatility and scalability for diverse use cases.
