Workloads: Done Faster, Better, & Cheaper

Screaming fast bare metal compute pairs nicely with a modern, flexible network - especially for certain of our favorite customer workloads.

Openstack

OpenStack software controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, managed through a dashboard or via the OpenStack API. OpenStack works with popular enterprise and open source technologies, making it ideal for heterogeneous infrastructure.

BGP / Anycast

Our platform was purpose built to support advanced network features, including BGP support at each host and global anycast services. Happily, your Packet server nodes can talk BGP to our upstream routers (e.g. using Calico, ExaBGP, or Bird), bringing a highly scalable, rapid and flexible routing protocol to your automation toolkit.

IP Address Space

Stop getting locked into your cloud provider's address space! Packet supports bringing your own IP space (/24 or larger block) to use in lieu of our own IPs -- and with our portal and API driven automation, you can use your IPs without the complexities of running your own colocation footprint and multi-homed network.

Container Workloads

We think container technologies are a big deal, and are changing how applications deploy at scale. Not only that, but containers don't need (or want) a hypervisor. It's a key reason why leading container projects call Packet bare metal home.

Trusted Compute

Trusted Computing provides a cryptographic chain of trust from hardware to the distributed cluster. At Packet, we install a TPM chip in each of our larger servers to enable this security feature.
