Enjoy the benefits of no shared resources and the absence of virtualization delays, ensuring you won't encounter unexpected expenses. Launch a server in just a few minutes and take advantage of full access to dedicated computing, storage, and networking capabilities, all while enjoying reliable performance and eliminating noisy neighbors.

Designed for high-demand applications, including blockchain validators, AI and machine learning workflows, and any organization requiring pure hardware performance at a consistent price point.

Cloud Hosting

OpenMetal offers dedicated private cloud and bare metal solutions for businesses seeking more than standard shared cloud services, while avoiding the complexities of creating and maintaining their own private cloud infrastructure. Our platform, powered by OpenStack and Ceph, provides an exclusive cloud environment on hardware that is exclusively yours, free from the interference of other users. You can launch a private cloud in just minutes, seamlessly integrate with your current systems, and benefit from personalized engineering assistance instead of dealing with lengthy ticket resolutions. With a straightforward monthly pricing structure, you won't encounter per-resource charges, unexpected data transfer fees, or complicated invoices that require extensive analysis. This solution is ideal for teams transitioning from public cloud services, managing applications that require strict compliance, or expanding their infrastructure without incurring additional costs.

Cloud Service Providers

OpenMetal is a cloud infrastructure provider that focuses on delivering hosted private clouds and dedicated bare metal servers, utilizing OpenStack and Ceph technology, all while offering straightforward, fixed-cost pricing. Unlike hyperscalers that charge based on resource usage, OpenMetal operates on a flat-rate monthly model with no additional fees for data transfer, per-resource billing, or unexpected charges. Customers benefit from dedicated hardware, complete root access, and personalized engineering support instead of navigating a ticketing system. You can set up a private cloud in less than an hour or launch a bare metal server within minutes. Both services leverage hardware exclusively reserved for your projects, ensuring reliable performance and complete network isolation. This service is particularly advantageous for organizations transitioning workloads from public clouds, addressing compliance or data residency needs, or seeking a provider that treats infrastructure expenses as fixed costs instead of fluctuating ones.

Dedicated Server Hosting

Launch a bare metal server in mere minutes and enjoy complete access to dedicated computing, storage, and networking resources. Experience the benefits of no virtualization overhead, no noisy neighbors, and no unexpected charges. Just pure hardware performance at a consistent monthly cost. Looking for comprehensive cloud infrastructure? OpenMetal's bare metal seamlessly integrates with our private cloud hosting platform, powered by OpenStack and Ceph, providing you with a flexible solution for establishing a complete private cloud without the need for extensive setup. Both service options come with personalized engineering support—no waiting in ticket queues—and straightforward pricing that won’t penalize your growth. Ideal for compute-intensive tasks, latency-sensitive applications, and teams seeking dedicated infrastructure without the complexities of managing their own data center.

High Availability Cluster

OpenMetal offers a robust infrastructure solution for high availability deployments, integrating hosted private cloud services on OpenStack, Ceph's distributed storage system, and dedicated bare metal servers distributed across various geographic regions. Ceph ensures inherent fault tolerance through its self-healing features, allowing for automatic recovery in the event of node or disk failures. Meanwhile, OpenStack serves as the orchestration framework, facilitating automated failover, dependable networking, and uniform deployments across multiple sites. For teams striving for high availability, such as four or five nines, OpenMetal addresses two significant challenges: the costly egress fees associated with cross-region replication in public cloud environments, and the limitations of root access that hinder customized disaster recovery strategies. With complete platform access, users can finely adjust replication and failover settings to align with their specific needs.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)

OpenMetal offers a private cloud and bare metal infrastructure as a service, leveraging OpenStack and Ceph technologies. Their approach includes managed hardware with a straightforward monthly pricing model, eliminating any unexpected billing fluctuations. In contrast to public cloud solutions, OpenMetal provides you with dedicated hardware that remains exclusive to your use, along with predictable pricing that doesn't increase as your needs grow. You also gain root access without having to deal with the complexities of managing your own private cloud environment. You can quickly deploy a private cloud or launch a bare metal server within minutes. Both services provide dedicated hardware, clear pricing, and personalized engineering support, eliminating the need for impersonal ticket systems. This solution is particularly well-suited for teams handling resource-intensive tasks, transitioning from larger cloud providers, or seeking an infrastructure partner that supports growth without imposing additional costs.

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

OpenMetal offers a hosted private cloud infrastructure utilizing OpenStack and Ceph, allowing companies to enjoy dedicated, isolated cloud environments without the challenges and expenses associated with developing their own solutions. Unlike public cloud Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) that operate on shared hardware, OpenMetal provides a completely private setting with dedicated hardware exclusively for your use. This includes complete network isolation and root-level access, all at a predictable monthly fee that does not charge for every resource utilized. Quickly launch a private cloud while seamlessly integrating with your current tools and processes. Enhance your setup with dedicated bare metal servers tailored for workloads that demand high compute power without the drawbacks of virtualization. This solution is ideal for organizations transitioning workloads from public cloud, managing compliance-sensitive applications, or seeking an infrastructure that delivers consistent performance and stable costs.
