🎙️ New Podcast: Modern Private Cloud Infrastructure We recently sat down with SourceForge to talk about something a lot of IT leaders are quietly wrestling with right now: 👉 At what point does public cloud stop making sense? What starts as flexibility often turns into: 🚫 unpredictable monthly bills 🚫 limited visibility into infrastructure 🚫 performance tradeoffs in shared environments In this episode, Todd Robinson, President of OpenMetal, breaks down: ⚡ Why organizations are rethinking hyperscalers ⚡ How modern private cloud (in our case powered by OpenStack + Ceph) changes the equation ⚡ Where AI workloads are accelerating the shift toward dedicated infrastructure ⚡ Why “visibility” is becoming just as important as scalability One idea that stood out: 💡 Companies aren’t moving away from cloud, they’re moving toward infrastructure they can actually control. If you're thinking about cost predictability, performance consistency, or just trying to make your cloud bill… make sense again - this one’s worth a listen. 👇 Check out the episode: https://lnkd.in/g7SuJK23 #cloudcosts #awsalternatives #privatecloud

Thanks InfoWorld for the mention! Their article dives into the rise of the "Alternative Cloud" and why more companies are moving away from the "one-size-fits-all" approach of the major providers: https://hubs.li/Q048mbzS0

Learn why cloud native means more than just containers and #Kubernetes. Discover how OpenStack-based private cloud delivers true infrastructure portability, vendor independence, and declarative automation better than hyperscalers. Includes practical patterns for building portable cloud native applications. https://hubs.li/Q047YhBf0

HTAP databases are highly sensitive to latency, network variance, and storage performance. This article explains why bare metal infrastructure provides predictable performance, operational clarity, and cost stability for running distributed #SQL systems at scale. https://hubs.li/Q047xl2c0

Equinix Metal ends service in June 2026. This comprehensive guide helps teams evaluate replacement infrastructure by philosophy rather than features. Includes decision frameworks, migration timelines, and key questions to ask providers to avoid another EOL event. https://hubs.li/Q0476DxK0

New video collaboration just dropped 🎥 We teamed up with 2GuysTek to explore a topic many infrastructure teams are thinking about right now: Public Cloud vs Hosted Private Cloud: In the video, Rich T. walks through how hosted private cloud works on OpenMetal and when dedicated infrastructure can make more sense than hyperscale platforms. He covers: 👉 where public cloud shines 👉 where costs and performance become challenging 👉 how OpenStack powers hosted private cloud 👉 why some companies are rethinking their infrastructure strategy Rich also does a deep dive into the Horizon dashboard for OpenStack and shows how easy it is to spin up an instance. If you're evaluating cloud costs, VMware alternatives, or private cloud architecture, this is a great walkthrough. 🎥 Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/eVkfwrsr #publiccloud #privatecloud #cloudcosts #openstack
