About

Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used by a number of service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering, or as part of a hybrid cloud solution. CloudStack is a turnkey solution that includes the entire "stack" of features most organizations want with an IaaS cloud: compute orchestration, Network-as-a-Service, user and account management, a full and open native API, resource accounting, and a first-class User Interface (UI).

About

OpenMetal delivers hosted private cloud and bare metal infrastructure that gives organizations a real alternative to building their own private cloud or committing to a hyperscaler. Our private cloud platform is built on OpenStack and Ceph, giving customers full access to a proven, open source cloud stack without the overhead of managing it themselves. That means more control, more transparency, and a predictable cost structure that public cloud pricing rarely offers at scale. For organizations that need dedicated infrastructure without the operational burden, we offer fully hosted bare metal servers that can run standalone or integrate directly with an OpenMetal private cloud. Deployment is fast, hardware is dedicated, and pricing is fixed so you can focus on the work, not the bill.

Bare Metal Server Supported

OpenMetal provides on-demand bare metal servers with dedicated hardware, fast deployment, and transparent fixed-cost pricing. No shared resources, no virtualization overhead, no surprise bills. Spin up a server in minutes and get full access to dedicated compute, storage, and networking with consistent performance and no noisy neighbors. Flat-rate monthly pricing keeps costs predictable, with named engineering support when you need it rather than a generic ticket queue. Need a full private cloud? OpenMetal bare metal integrates directly with our hosted private cloud platform built on OpenStack and Ceph, giving you a flexible path to expand without changing providers. Built for compute-intensive workloads, blockchain validators, AI and machine learning pipelines, and any team that needs raw hardware performance at a predictable cost.

Cloud Hosting Supported

OpenMetal provides hosted private cloud and bare metal infrastructure for organizations that need more than shared cloud hosting but don't want to build and manage their own private cloud. Built on OpenStack and Ceph, our platform gives you a dedicated, isolated cloud environment on hardware that is never shared with other tenants. Deploy a private cloud in minutes, integrate with your existing tools, and get named engineering support rather than a ticket queue. Flat-rate monthly pricing means no per-resource metering, no egress surprises, and no bill that requires a spreadsheet to decode. A practical fit for teams moving workloads off public cloud, running compliance-sensitive applications, or scaling infrastructure without scaling costs.

OpenMetal is a cloud service provider specializing in hosted private cloud and dedicated bare metal infrastructure, built on OpenStack and Ceph with transparent fixed-cost pricing. Where hyperscalers meter every resource and bill accordingly, OpenMetal runs on flat-rate monthly pricing with no egress fees, no per-resource charges, and no bill shock. You get dedicated hardware, full root access, and named engineering support rather than a ticket queue. Deploy a private cloud in under an hour or spin up a bare metal server in minutes. Both options run on hardware dedicated exclusively to your workloads, giving you consistent performance and full network isolation. A strong fit for organizations moving workloads off public cloud, managing compliance or data residency requirements, or looking for a provider that treats infrastructure costs as a fixed line item rather than a variable one.

OpenMetal provides dedicated bare metal servers with fast deployment, transparent fixed-cost pricing, and hardware that is never shared with other tenants. Spin up a bare metal server in minutes and get full access to dedicated compute, storage, and networking resources. No virtualization overhead, no noisy neighbors, no surprise bills. Just raw hardware performance at a predictable monthly rate. Need full cloud infrastructure? OpenMetal bare metal integrates directly with our hosted private cloud platform, built on OpenStack and Ceph, giving you a flexible path to a full private cloud environment without building one from scratch. Both options include named engineering support, not a ticket queue, and flat-rate pricing that won't penalize you for growth. A strong fit for compute-intensive workloads, latency-sensitive applications, and teams that want dedicated infrastructure without the overhead of managing their own data center.

OpenMetal provides the infrastructure foundation for high availability deployments, combining hosted private cloud on OpenStack, Ceph distributed storage, and dedicated bare metal servers across multiple geographic locations. Ceph delivers built-in fault tolerance with self-healing capabilities and automatic recovery from node and disk failures. OpenStack provides the orchestration layer for automated failover, redundant networking, and consistent multi-site deployments. For teams building toward four or five nines availability, OpenMetal removes two common barriers: the egress fees that make cross-region replication expensive on public cloud, and the lack of root access that limits custom disaster recovery configurations. Full platform access lets you tune replication and failover to match your actual requirements.

OpenMetal delivers private cloud and bare metal infrastructure as a service, built on OpenStack and Ceph, with managed hardware and flat monthly pricing that has no metering surprises. Unlike public cloud, you get dedicated hardware that isn't shared with other tenants, predictable fixed-cost pricing that doesn't scale against you, and root-level access without the operational burden of running your own private cloud. Deploy a private cloud or spin up a bare metal server in minutes. Both options include dedicated hardware, transparent pricing, and named engineering support, not a ticket queue. A practical fit for teams running compute-intensive workloads, moving off a hyperscaler, or looking for an infrastructure provider that won't penalize growth.

OpenMetal delivers hosted private cloud infrastructure built on OpenStack and Ceph, giving organizations dedicated, isolated cloud environments without the cost and complexity of building their own. Where public cloud VPCs share underlying hardware with other tenants, OpenMetal gives you a truly private environment on dedicated hardware you don't share with anyone. Full network isolation, root-level access, and a fixed monthly rate that doesn't meter every resource you touch. Deploy a private cloud in minutes and integrate with your existing tools and workflows. Add dedicated bare metal servers for workloads that need raw compute performance without virtualization overhead. Built for organizations moving workloads off public cloud, running compliance-sensitive applications, or looking for an infrastructure environment that performs consistently and maintains predictable costs.
