As more customers feel the burden of rising hosted cloud costs, many are looking to repatriate cloud workloads on lower-cost in-house infrastructure. Still, they want to avoid the requirement of building a custom in-house solution. Supermicro, in collaboration with RedHat and Intel, has introduced a turn-key solution that will allow customers to bring up a scalable cloud infrastructure in days instead of weeks or months. The base configuration can be purchased outright or can be leased for approximately $3,000 per month1. The flat fee model eliminates unforeseen usage charges – the more you use it, the more you save.

“The Supermicro Rack Plug and Play Cloud Infrastructure program provides game-changing cost and performance efficiencies for enterprise,” said Charles Liang, president, and CEO, Supermicro. “On-the-shelf, fully assembled, validated rack systems including hardware and software are available, enabling rapid deployment and getting systems online faster.
