		Related Products OpenMetal 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. 4.4 out of 5 stars 41 Ratings Visit Website for OpenMetal Google Compute Engine Compute Engine is Google's infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platform for organizations to create and run cloud-based virtual machines. Computing infrastructure in predefined or custom machine sizes to accelerate your cloud transformation. General purpose (E2, N1, N2, N2D) machines provide a good balance of price and performance. Compute optimized (C2) machines offer high-end vCPU performance for compute-intensive workloads. Memory optimized (M2) machines offer the highest memory and are great for in-memory databases. Accelerator optimized (A2) machines are based on the A100 GPU, for very demanding applications. Integrate Compute with other Google Cloud services such as AI/ML and data analytics. Make reservations to help ensure your applications have the capacity they need as they scale. Save money just for running Compute with sustained-use discounts, and achieve greater savings when you use committed-use discounts. 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,169 Ratings Visit Website for Google Compute Engine Servers.com by Nexcess Servers.com by Nexcess provides hybrid bare metal cloud infrastructure designed to help businesses scale, customize, and manage their server environments from a unified platform.

Designed to fully utilize the power of modern cloud hardware and deliver on the data demands of modern applications, Dragonfly frees developers from the limits of traditional in-memory data stores. The power of modern cloud hardware can never be realized with legacy software. Dragonfly is optimized for modern cloud computing, delivering 25x more throughput and 12x lower snapshotting latency when compared to legacy in-memory data stores like Redis, making it easy to deliver the real-time experience your customers expect. Scaling Redis workloads is expensive due to their inefficient, single-threaded model. Dragonfly is far more compute and memory efficient, resulting in up to 80% lower infrastructure costs. Dragonfly scales vertically first, only requiring clustering at an extremely high scale. This results in a far simpler operational model and a more reliable system. 4.9 out of 5 stars 16 Ratings Visit Website for Dragonfly InMotion Hosting InMotion Hosting is a performance-first infrastructure provider trusted by agencies, digital teams, and growing businesses since 2001.
