OpenMetal Cloud Core - XL v4, $ 4,718.74/mo. on Linux/Windows Cloud

Three hyper-converged servers form this XL v4 Cloud Core and carry both the first workloads and the cloud platform itself. Each server uses dual Intel Xeon Scalable 6530, 64C/128T, 1TB RAM, 4x6.4TB Micron 7450 MAX NVMe, dual 10Gbit networking, 6Gbps public bandwidth. In cluster terms that works out to 3x Intel Xeon Scalable 6530 192C/384T, 3000GB of raw RAM, and about 76.80TB of raw local NVMe or SSD capacity before Ceph replication policy is applied. Cloud Cores must start at three servers, and the platform notes that raw cores, compute cores, vCPU ratio, raw RAM, RAM for compute, and RAM for provisioning all shape the usable VM footprint. The pricing table lists XL v4 at $9.93 per hour, $238.32 per day, $1668.24 for 7 days, $7149.60 on a 30-day term, $6613.38 with a 1-year term, $6148.66 with a 2-year term, $5719.68 with a 3-year term, $5147.71 with a 4-year term, and $4718.74 with a 5-year commitment. The page also advertises a 30 day money-back window and free trial or PoC paths up to 30 days, and it shows the calculator with Ashburn and Amsterdam location choices while the broader platform also offers Singapore for some deployments. Optional assisted management pricing is separated behind a checkbox and carries an $800 base fee plus per-box fees.

Built on OpenStack and Ceph with full root access and fixed-cost infrastructure. Deployment can be ready in about 45 seconds or on schedule, and the same ordering flow supports trials, PoCs, production purchases, cloud expansion, invoice payment, budgeting, monitoring, documentation, and support inside the OpenMetal Central portal. The portal includes a ticketing system, 24/7 emergency support, contact details for the support team, and Datadog-based hardware monitoring. Standard OpenStack features do not add separate license fees. Migration assistance, ramp pricing, and direct collaboration with cloud engineers are part of the operating model, while optional assisted management on 1 to 5 year agreements carries an additional base fee of $800 plus per-box fees. Public IP space is leased separately, egress uses included allotments with 95th percentile billing for overages rather than simple per-GB cloud billing, the network SLA baseline is 99.96%, DDoS protection is included, and the service is offered from OpenMetal facilities in the United States, the Netherlands, and Singapore.
