Rackspace’s expanded OnMetal bare-metal server service for OpenStack cloud debuts.
Rackspace is expanding its OnMetal bare-metal service for OpenStack, providing users with more powerful options to deploy applications in the cloud.Typically with a cloud deployment, server assets are virtual and customers don’t get to choose the physical underlying hardware, the actual bare-metal that an application will run on. The Rackspace OnMetal service first launched in June 2014, enabling users to directly deploy an OpenStack cloud onto physical hardware.
Next generation OnMetal Cloud Servers are faster, higher capacity and more reliable than the first generation and are built on second generation Open Compute servers, featuring the latest Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 processors.
