OpenMetal Storage and Compute - XS, $ 128.30/mo. on Cloud

This XS storage-and-compute node is a converged expansion server for an existing cloud. It adds compute capacity and network storage together while leaving cloud management duties to the Cloud Core. The single-node hardware is Intel Xeon E3-1230v6, 4C/8T, 64GB RAM, 960GB Intel D3-S4610 SATA SSD, dual 1Gbit networking, 500Mbps public bandwidth, giving Intel Xeon E3-1230v6 12C/24T, 64GB RAM, and roughly 0.96TB of raw local NVMe or SSD capacity before the wider cluster's storage policy is considered. Because these nodes are matched to the cloud hardware family, key capabilities such as VM live migration remain available while additional workloads and storage are brought online. Listed pricing for this node is $0.27 per hour, $6.48 per day, $45.36 for 7 days, $194.40 on a 30-day term, $179.82 with a 1-year term, $167.18 with a 2-year term, $155.52 with a 3-year term, $139.97 with a 4-year term, and $128.30 with a 5-year commitment. The calculator notes that long-term commitments reduce the monthly rate, that pricing is shown separately from optional assisted management charges, and that public IP space is ordered as its own add-on.

This node type expands an existing cloud by adding compute and network storage at the same time rather than handling the control plane itself. The design keeps the hardware aligned with the cloud so live migration and day-2 operations remain practical while the extra node focuses on workloads. Ordering, budgeting, billing, monitoring, documentation, IP leasing, and support are handled through the OpenMetal Central portal, which includes ticketing, 24/7 emergency support, and contact visibility for the assigned support team. Datadog hardware monitoring is included, standard OpenStack features do not introduce extra license fees, migration assistance and ramp pricing are available, optional assisted management on 1 to 5 year agreements carries an added $800 base fee plus per-box charges, public IP space is leased separately, egress follows OpenMetal's included-allotment and 95th percentile model, the base network SLA is 99.96%, DDoS protection is included, and capacity can be deployed in OpenMetal locations across the United States, the Netherlands, and Singapore.
