- Native Terraform provider support for complete GitOps workflows
- Cloud-init automation for zero-touch VM boot configuration
Horizon Dashboard & Monitoring
Self-service web GUI for enterprise developers and operations teams. Real-time telemetry powered by Prometheus, Grafana, and Ceilometer, watched 24/7/365 by ServerThings Delhi Tier-3 SRE engineers.
- Intuitive self-service provisioning with quota governance
- Sub-second threshold alerting on CPU, memory, IOPS, and network
- Full API telemetry, Grafana dashboards, and audit logs
OpenStack Deployment Models
Whether you want a fully hosted turnkey private cloud in our data center, management of on-premise hardware, or a hybrid bridge, ServerThings handles deployment, 24/7 monitoring, and lifecycle upgrades.
Hosted OpenStack Cloud
Dedicated bare-metal hardware hosted in ServerThings Tier III facilities in Delhi/NCR or Mumbai. We manage the physical hardware, power, cooling, network fabrics, and entire OpenStack control plane.
- 100% dedicated hardware with zero noisy neighbors
- Guaranteed 100GbE spine-leaf fabric & BGP multi-homing
- Includes hardware break-fix, spare parts, and 99.99% SLA
On-Premise Managed OpenStack
Deploy OpenStack directly on your organization’s owned servers and switches. ServerThings handles architectural design, deployment, 24/7/365 remote SRE monitoring, rolling security updates, and lifecycle patching.
- Retain total physical control inside your enterprise facility
- Zero internal OpenStack learning curve for your team
- Proactive remote troubleshooting and 15-minute response SLA
Hybrid OpenStack & Bare Metal
Bridge your OpenStack private cloud with ServerMango bare-metal compute nodes, legacy Oracle/SAP database appliances, and public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) via private low-latency Layer-2 dark fiber or IPsec mesh.
- Low-latency interconnects (<2ms within Delhi/NCR)
- Cloudburst non-sensitive batch compute to public cloud
- Unified single-pane management and consolidated billing
Seamless VMware to OpenStack Migration
Facing 300%+ Broadcom license increases? Our systems architects have executed hundreds of seamless P2V and V2V migrations, transitioning legacy VMware ESXi and Hyper-V clusters into sovereign OpenStack clouds.
Assessment & Sizing
Automated audit of existing VM footprints, memory allocations, IOPS profiles, VLAN topologies, and storage tiering to calculate exact OpenStack hardware sizing.
Cluster Staging
Deployment of dedicated AMD EPYC compute nodes, Ceph all-flash NVMe pools, and Neutron OVN networking matching your enterprise subnet and firewall schemas.
V2V Disk Streaming
Live non-disruptive synchronization using virt-v2v and Ceph block drivers. Production virtual machines remain online while storage deltas stream continuously.
Sub-Second Switch
Scheduled maintenance window for final delta sync, IP re-routing, and verification. ServerThings SRE provides 30-day post-cutover 24/7 dedicated hypercare.
OpenStack vs Legacy VMware & Hyperscalers
Compare licensing overhead, egress economics, architectural freedom, and support accountability across modern infrastructure paradigms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Technical answers regarding OpenStack releases, Kubernetes integrations, Ceph storage fabrics, and operational SLAs.
We deploy and support current OpenStack Long-Term Support (LTS) releases including OpenStack Caracal (2024.1), Bobcat (2023.2), and Antelope (2023.1). All deployments are upstream, unencumbered by proprietary distributor wrappers, ensuring you have direct standard REST API compatibility and complete freedom of portability.
We execute zero-downtime rolling upgrades by utilizing Nova's live-migration subsystem paired with Ceph's distributed block storage. Workloads are live-evacuated from compute hypervisors one node at a time while the target host undergoes kernel and OpenStack service upgrades. Control plane services (Keystone, Neutron, Cinder APIs) run in high-availability active-active clusters behind HAProxy, ensuring continuous API availability.
Yes. We configure and manage Kubernetes on OpenStack using the OpenStack Cluster API (CAPO) and Magnum. Worker nodes consume native Neutron SDN private subnets with Calico/Cilium CNI, and persistent volumes mount directly to Ceph NVMe through the OpenStack Cinder CSI driver, delivering true cloud-native orchestration with dedicated hardware performance.
All OpenStack clusters deployed by ServerThings utilize enterprise Ceph storage pools backed exclusively by enterprise NVMe PCIe 4.0/5.0 SSDs with 3x synchronous data replication. We eliminate single points of failure by connecting storage daemons over dedicated redundant 100GbE RoCEv2 (RDMA) storage fabrics, providing sub-millisecond I/O latency and self-healing resilience.
Our data centers are located strictly within Indian territory (Delhi/NCR and Mumbai). All customer data, metadata, snapshot archives, and telemetry logs remain 100% physically sovereign, fully complying with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023, RBI localization directives for financial institutions, and ISO/IEC 27001 data governance frameworks.
We provide a 99.99% hardware, API, and network uptime guarantee with contractual SLA penalties. Our operations are staffed 24/7/365 by full-time Tier-3 systems and OpenStack engineers based in our Delhi operations center. Critical Sev-1 incidents receive an initial response within 15 minutes, with direct phone and Slack/Teams bridge access to the engineering team.
