LogicMonitor VS OpenMetal.io

OpenMetal.io's answer:

OpenStack, Ceph

OpenMetal.io's answer:

OpenMetal was originally created by InMotion Hosting. InMotion had long used open source as a foundation and as the company grew and matured, they increasingly used larger and more complex open source systems.

Two of those systems, OpenStack and Ceph, became core to our business. As they did, we collectively realized that accessibility to these incredibly powerful systems was limited to a relative handful of small companies like us or very, very large organizations.

As the consolidation of IT into the hyper-scalers grew rapidly in recent years, their costs also become more clear. Putting aside the dangers of oligopolies, for now, these high costs began to create increasing frustration for all-sized companies with significant IT spending.

In 2021, many firms and analysts began to wake up to this danger to bottom lines and critical thought leaders began to take stances against “mega clouds”. A clear example from large investment firm Andressen Horowitz, titled “The Cost of Cloud, a Trillion Dollar Paradox“, broke this publicly.

In addition to the inherent problems of high costs from public clouds, we believe that the massive consolidation of infrastructure and software into a tiny set of public cloud providers is dangerous on numerous levels.

A balancing force of clouds, operated by smaller companies, smaller governments, and even individuals, is critical to the long term health of IT.

OpenMetal.io's answer:

Businesses of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises, have found success on OpenMetal Cloud.
