Cloud Core Features and Components
All OpenMetal hosted private clouds start with a three server Cloud Core. Cloud Cores include the most common cloud features like Compute, Block Storage, Object Storage, and more.
- Fully private and modifiable at the root level to add functionality or tune for specific attributes
- Managed hardware and base SLAs plus additional support options
- No software license fees with your OpenStack
- Expandable cloud services for your specific use cases
- Fixed costs and fair egress
Hosted Private Cloud Cores – Standard Features
Every Cloud Core ships with enterprise-grade capabilities out of the box.
Compute
Virtual machines are supplied by KVM, the industry standard Type 1 hypervisor. Common VM images (OSs) and typical resource flavors come preconfigured. Create your own images and flavors to best fit your applications. Tune your CPU and RAM to vCPU and vRAM ratios to optimize your costs.
Learn MoreNetworking
Cutting edge software defined networking for private networks plus up to 20 Gbps per server public internet access. Create hundreds or even thousands of autonomous virtual private clouds each with their own routers, switches, point-to-point VPN, load balancers, firewalls, and more.
Learn MoreBlock Storage
Block storage is available in three different classes of performance and resiliency. Choose from networked triplicate copy with high availability and mid-level IOPS, to 2-drive RAID1 single server NVMe at very high IOPS, to single drive direct access NVMe at the highest IOPS and throughput possible.
Learn MoreObject Storage
S3 compatible object storage is available directly within any hyper-converged or converged clusters. For large data needs, standalone storage clusters are also available that can scale easily to over 20 petabytes. Significant CPU and RAM allow on-the-fly compression and data manipulation.
Learn MoreMonitoring
OpenMetal Clouds include built-in cloud monitoring services from Datadog. These Day 2 systems bring visibility into key metrics, as well as the ability to receive notifications and alerts on potential issues and support to help diagnose them quickly. Built to accelerate your team as they adapt your workloads.
Learn MoreService Level and Support
Behind every cloud is a team. We do not hide our technology from our customers and we do not hide our team from our customers. With options to completely run your own cloud, or leverage our team to assist in cloud tasks, we can adapt to your requirements.
Learn MoreKubernetes
Running Kubernetes on your private cloud is straightforward and you can choose several approaches based on your preference. Self-service Kubernetes clusters are enabled in a prescriptive fashion within our GUI, but we generally recommend you use the system you are familiar with.
Learn MoreBare Metal Dedicated Servers
Bare metal hardware is ideal for systems like Ceph, Clickhouse, Hadoop, Spark, and other large scale systems that are best running directly on hardware. Deploy fast with automated central and API provisioning. Standalone bare metal is available, or integrate with an OpenMetal Cloud for a hybrid approach.
