Transforming Higher Education With OpenStack
At OpenMetal, we are passionate about open source and we believe that education is one of the most important ways to spread the benefits of open technology. That’s why we are committed to helping students gain access to resources needed to get hands-on experience with open source software through partnerships with colleges and universities.
Our team is dedicated to working closely with college administrations and educators to provide the resources and support they need to facilitate hands-on training on OpenStack and other open source software that may require extensive resources to operate.

Cloud-Based Learning Solutions for Classes
To make the best learning experience accessible to all students, we recognize that cloud costs can pose a significant obstacle for many educational institutions. Therefore, OpenMetal has launched its Education Partner Program, which provides private cloud cores to institutions at a minimal cost. This program aims to ensure that every student has the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with OpenStack technology.
Our team works closely with instructors to plan for any sudden spikes in workload related to specific assignments, allowing them to scale cloud resources efficiently based on the need. This approach helps instructors avoid overspending on resources that may be required for a short period.
On-Demand OpenStack on our OpenMetal Cloud Cores offer students the chance to experience OpenStack technology in a production-level environment and gain root level access to build their own OpenStack cloud. Furthermore, On-Demand OpenStack by OpenMetal can provide students with training opportunities for various skills, including but not limited to:
- Kubernetes
- Docker
- High availability systems
- Database clusters
- Networking/ load-balancing concepts
- Data replication
- Software engineering
Our team is dedicated to working closely with college administrations and educators to provide cost effective resources and support necessary to bring OpenStack into the classroom. Share with us the expected workload and assignments for your class, and we can offer guidance on the most cost-effective cloud resources and configurations that will be required.
