Not every workload belongs on a shared cloud instance. A guide to the bare metal workloads that run best on OpenMetal v5, from databases and virtualization to Kubernetes, CPU-based AI inference, analytics, and confidential computing, and why dedicated Xeon 6 hardware makes the difference.
OpenMetal v5 is our biggest hardware leap yet: Intel Xeon 6 (Granite Rapids), DDR5-6400, and NVMe, deployable as single-tenant bare metal or a three-node OpenStack and Ceph private cloud. Sized for AI inference, analytics, and databases, and priced on a fixed, transparent model with no egress surprises.
