OpenMetal
4.4 out of 5 stars (41 Ratings)
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.

    "Way cheaper for an easier API"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2023-12-28

    Pros: - straight forward and best pricing,
    - have never had any downtime,
    - love their product offerings (compute, s3, stackscripts, etc.)
    - love their lack of up charging for everything,
    - super slick UI with an API to match,
    - what's not to love?

    Cons: - nothing for me currently, though looking at AWS product listing perhaps they could offer more case specific API's? ...though that's probably a feature, their slim API set, since AWS uses it for vendor locking and pricing obfuscation

    Overall: I used AWS a while ago and could never figure out pricing. After working for several AWS powered software companies I found their APIs to be anti-orthoganal and the bills to be astronomical. I use Linode for personal and now business and I could never go back. Linode has all the product offerings I need, and I have never had any issues. Cheaper, equivalent or better quality, easier to understand, all the features I need... really it is a no brainer. With Akamai behind them now I expect it to get even better (more data center and edge options/features). Support is very responsive with a ticketing system as you'd expect.
