OpenStack HPC
Private cloud HPC infrastructure with OpenStack. Flexible resource management at the IaaS layer, VM-based computing and hybrid HPC architecture.
What is OpenStack HPC?
OpenStack is an open-source IaaS platform that adds cloud flexibility and multi-tenant resource isolation to enterprise HPC infrastructures. Mevasis deploys and manages Nova, Ironic, Neutron and Heat components, optimized for HPC workloads via kolla-ansible container-native deployment — all delivered turnkey. It enables multiple teams and projects to share the same physical infrastructure securely while you retain full data sovereignty.
OpenStack HPC allows multiple teams to share the same bare-metal hardware with cloud flexibility while fully preserving data sovereignty — achieving both simultaneously is now possible.

How Is OpenStack HPC Deployed?
Mevasis carries out OpenStack HPC deployment in three core phases: infrastructure preparation and deployment, HPC component optimization, and hybrid scheduling integration.
Container-Native Deployment
With kolla-ansible, each OpenStack service runs in its own container; updates and scaling are performed without downtime.
Bare-Metal Integration via Ironic
Physical HPC nodes are added to OpenStack through Ironic; resource management and quota enforcement are activated.
Managed Operations
Platform updates, performance monitoring and capacity planning are continuously managed by Mevasis.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should this solution be chosen?
OpenStack HPC should be chosen when multiple teams or projects need to share compute resources, when cloud-like flexibility must be combined with data sovereignty, and when resource isolation needs to be layered on top of an existing bare-metal infrastructure. Regulated environments requiring VM-based isolation (healthcare, defense, finance) and multi-tenant research environments are also ideal scenarios for OpenStack HPC.
How does Mevasis deliver this solution?
Mevasis deploys OpenStack using OpenStack-Ansible or Kolla-Ansible tools. It optimizes the Nova, Neutron, Cinder and Heat components for HPC workloads; integrates bare-metal nodes into the platform via Ironic; and brings online a hybrid scheduling layer that bridges SLURM and OpenStack. Post-installation managed operations — including platform updates, performance monitoring and capacity planning — are also run by Mevasis.
