What is OpenMetal?

If your cloud bill has become harder to predict than your revenue, OpenMetal is worth a look. We provide hosted private cloud and dedicated bare metal infrastructure as a service. Our private cloud is built on OpenStack and Ceph, with fully managed hardware, and priced on a flat-rate model that doesn't punish you for growth. No per-resource metering, no egress surprises, no bill that requires a spreadsheet to decode. Our private cloud platform gives organizations dedicated hardware and full OpenStack access without the overhead of building or maintaining their own infrastructure. Deploy a private cloud in under an hour, integrate with your existing tools, and hand the operational burden to us. For teams that need raw compute power without virtualization overhead, our bare metal servers offer dedicated hardware with the same transparent pricing and fast deployment. Run standalone or connect directly to an OpenMetal private cloud for a flexible hybrid setup. OpenMetal is a practical choice for organizations running compute-intensive or latency-sensitive workloads including blockchain validators, AI and machine learning pipelines, high-frequency applications, and regulated industries where data residency and compliance requirements rule out shared public cloud environments. If you're managing infrastructure costs at scale, moving workloads off a hyperscaler, or simply need dedicated hardware that performs consistently, OpenMetal gives you a straightforward path to get there without building everything yourself.

Bare Metal Server

OpenMetal offers customized bare metal servers on a pay-as-you-go basis, featuring dedicated hardware for rapid deployment and clear, fixed pricing. Experience the benefits of having exclusive resources—no shared environments, no virtualization delays, and no unexpected charges. Launch a server in mere minutes and gain complete control over dedicated computing power, storage, and networking, all with reliable performance and free from disruptive neighbors. Our straightforward flat-rate monthly billing ensures you can budget effectively, and our dedicated engineering support is available when you require assistance, avoiding the pitfalls of a generic support ticket system. Looking for a comprehensive private cloud solution? OpenMetal's bare metal servers seamlessly integrate with our hosted private cloud infrastructure, which utilizes OpenStack and Ceph, providing a flexible approach to growth without needing to switch providers. Designed specifically for high-performance computing tasks, blockchain operations, AI, machine learning workflows, and teams seeking uncompromised hardware capabilities at a consistent price point.

Cloud Hosting

OpenMetal specializes in providing dedicated private cloud and bare metal solutions for organizations seeking more robust options than standard shared cloud hosting, without the hassle of creating and maintaining a personal private cloud. Our infrastructure is built on OpenStack and Ceph, ensuring you have a completely dedicated and secure cloud environment, utilizing hardware that is exclusively yours. You can set up a private cloud in just a few minutes, seamlessly integrate it with your current tools, and benefit from personalized engineering support instead of navigating a ticketing system. With our straightforward flat-rate monthly pricing, you won’t face unexpected costs for resource usage, data transfers, or complicated invoices that require extensive analysis. This solution is ideal for teams transitioning workloads from public cloud environments, managing applications with strict compliance requirements, or looking to expand their infrastructure without incurring additional costs.

Cloud Service Providers

OpenMetal is a cloud service provider that focuses on offering hosted private cloud solutions and dedicated bare metal infrastructure, leveraging OpenStack and Ceph while ensuring transparent, fixed-cost pricing. Unlike hyperscalers that charge based on resource usage, OpenMetal employs a straightforward flat-rate monthly pricing model, eliminating egress fees, per-resource charges, and unexpected billing surprises. Customers receive dedicated hardware, complete root access, and personalized engineering support, avoiding the hassle of lengthy ticket queues. You can set up a private cloud in less than an hour or launch a bare metal server in just a few minutes. Both services utilize hardware exclusively assigned to your applications, ensuring reliable performance and comprehensive network isolation. This service is ideal for businesses transitioning from public cloud environments, navigating compliance and data residency regulations, or seeking a provider that offers infrastructure costs as fixed expenses rather than fluctuating charges.

Dedicated Server Hosting

OpenMetal specializes in providing dedicated bare metal servers that feature rapid deployment, straightforward fixed-cost pricing, and exclusive hardware that is not shared with any other users. Launch a bare metal server within minutes and gain complete control over dedicated computing, storage, and networking resources.

High Availability Cluster

OpenMetal offers a robust infrastructure for deploying high-availability solutions, integrating a hosted private cloud powered by OpenStack, Ceph for distributed storage, and dedicated bare metal servers positioned across various geographic regions. Ceph ensures inherent fault tolerance with capabilities for self-repair and automatic recovery when nodes or disks fail. Meanwhile, OpenStack serves as the orchestration framework for seamless failover, redundant networking, and uniform deployments across multiple sites. For organizations aiming for four or five nines of availability, OpenMetal eliminates two significant challenges: the costly egress fees associated with cross-region replication in public cloud environments and the restrictions of lacking root access that hinder tailored disaster recovery setups. With complete platform access, users can fine-tune replication and failover processes to align with their specific needs.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)

OpenMetal provides Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) with private cloud and bare metal solutions, utilizing OpenStack and Ceph. Their offerings come with fully managed hardware and a straightforward monthly pricing model, free from unexpected charges. In contrast to public cloud services, OpenMetal ensures you have access to exclusive hardware that is not used by other customers. It offers a stable pricing structure that remains consistent regardless of usage, along with root access, eliminating the complexities associated with managing your own private cloud. You can quickly set up a private cloud or launch a bare metal server in just minutes. Both services feature dedicated hardware, clear pricing, and direct access to engineering support rather than relying on a ticketing system. This solution is ideally suited for teams handling demanding computational tasks, transitioning from larger cloud providers, or seeking an infrastructure partner that supports their growth without financial penalties.
