A view from the clouds - August 2023

This year has been full of great things for OpenMetal, and August continues that trend with a Cloud Infrastructure award in DeveloperWeek's CloudX Awards! Our team has worked diligently to create the best on-demand private cloud platform and seeing that hard work recognized is truly rewarding.

I, along with other OpenMetal team members, will be attending the DeveloperWeek CloudX conference in San Mateo, California from August 15-16 and have a few free passes to give out. If you'd like to attend, reply to this email and we'll make sure you're included. I'm looking forward to it!

Customer Success Story: Convesio gets control over their infrastructure and reduces cloud costs more than 50%.

Convesio has pioneered new innovations in the WordPress hosting space since its founding in 2018. Their trajectory, however, was being stifled by outrageous costs, lackluster support, and inflexibility via AWS and GCP. They set out to find cloud providers that they could work closer with to help them continue to revolutionize and grow their platform. OpenMetal helped Convesio gain:

• Control and Customization: Convesio gained root access to their cloud infrastructure to customize for optimal performance.
• Cost Reduction: Convesio has cut their public cloud costs more than 50%.
• A Cloud Partner: Convesio has gained a partner that shares their values and vision.
