Traditional VLANs and firewalls fail in distributed cloud environments. Learn how zero-trust networking using microsegmentation, VXLAN overlays, and identity-based routing works in private clouds—and why OpenMetal’s transparent architecture makes it operationally achievable where hyperscalers fall short.

Enterprise cloud networking costs have become unpredictable budget wild cards. AWS, GCP, and Azure charge per-GB for internal traffic, creating cost volatility that punishes distributed architectures. OpenMetal’s two-network model eliminates cross-AZ fees and uses 95th percentile billing to smooth traffic spikes.
While public clouds promise invisible networking, this abstraction creates hidden costs and performance limitations. Explore how transparent network architecture with predictable billing models like 95th percentile can dramatically reduce egress costs and improve performance for AI workloads, SaaS platforms, and hybrid cloud strategies.
