OpenMetal
OpenMetal delivers specialized on-demand infrastructure, including GPU clusters, bare metal dedicated servers, and private clouds powered by OpenStack. We provide the raw power and dedicated resources businesses need to scale without the overhead of traditional providers.
For years, the benefits of private clouds like security, predictability, and total control, were trapped behind a wall of high costs and engineering hurdles. Building these systems from scratch meant hiring specialized architects and sinking vast amounts of capital into physical hardware.
We’ve removed the obstacles. OpenMetal empowers organizations to skip the "build" phase and move straight to the "innovate" phase.
-Zero Complexity: We handle the underlying architecture so you don't have to.
-Instant Availability: Your private environment is ready to work in under one minute.
-Total Sovereignty: Experience the performance of dedicated hardware with the ease of a hosted service.
At our core, we are driven by the belief that open source is a catalyst for global progress. It levels the playing field, allowing developers and companies worldwide to collaborate and succeed collectively.
Our mission is to make these powerful open-source tools accessible to everyone. By simplifying the way teams adopt and contribute to these technologies, we help create a more innovative and inclusive future for the entire IT industry.

Windocks
Windocks offers customizable, on-demand access to databases like Oracle and SQL Server, tailored for various purposes such as Development, Testing, Reporting, Machine Learning, and DevOps. Their database orchestration facilitates a seamless, code-free automated delivery process that encompasses features like data masking, synthetic data generation, Git operations, access controls, and secrets management. Users can deploy databases to traditional instances, Kubernetes, or Docker containers, enhancing flexibility and scalability.
Installation of Windocks can be accomplished on standard Linux or Windows servers in just a few minutes, and it is compatible with any public cloud platform or on-premise system. One virtual machine can support as many as 50 simultaneous database environments, and when integrated with Docker containers, enterprises frequently experience a notable 5:1 decrease in the number of lower-level database VMs required. This efficiency not only optimizes resource usage but also accelerates development and testing cycles significantly.

cloud-init
Cloud images act as templates for operating systems, where every instance starts off as an identical copy of one another. The individual characteristics of each cloud instance emerge from user-specific data, which is automated by the tool known as cloud-init. This tool encompasses a variety of datasource and module references, along with numerous examples to facilitate easier implementation. Although cloud-init was initially developed for Ubuntu, it has been modified to support most prominent Linux distributions and FreeBSD. For those creating cloud images, cloud-init streamlines the differences between various cloud providers automatically, ensuring that the official Ubuntu cloud images remain uniform across all public and private cloud environments. This consistency empowers users to launch their applications without the need to concern themselves with any variations in the underlying infrastructure. Furthermore, the flexibility of cloud-init contributes significantly to the efficiency of cloud resource management.
