Recommended hardware setup
While Warren supports a majority of commodity hardware there are still minimum requirements in place that will provide a redundant and reliable IaaS cluster.
Hardware specifications below are a good indication of a production grade setup to start with and to grow upon.
Open OEM
Tier 1 Original hardware, free from proprietary firmware and BMC lock-ins. Using only the highest quality chassis, component and commodity items.
ROI/TCO optimized
The hardware stack is specially designed, to maximize ROI and minimize TCO significantly through well optimized and balanced harware to meet user demand.
Pay as you grow
Warren software has no fixed license fee, setup fee, or minimum fee. It is truly a partnership with a usage-based revenue share model.
3 year warranty included
Standard hardware warranty includes spare parts on-site, 38 months RMA coverage and phone support. Custom SLAs and extensions up to 5 years available.
Key benefits
Focusing on an extremely convenient and quick to market solution allowing any infrastructure provider to expand their service portfolio and start offering a public infrastructure as a service (IaaS).
Time to market
80% faster time to market with all in one turnkey software platform pre-installed on a specially optimized hardware stack.
Tool-less serviceability
Tool-less designs for drive trays, fan modules as well as the riser board allows for quick & easy deployment and maintenance efficiency.
Secure and compliant
The system is completely PCI-DSS and ISO 27001 ready. End-user isolation and secure administration are all built into the platform.
Redundancy and availability
The hardware and software configurations are designed with redundancy and availability in mind to deliver maximum uptime.
Modular and scalable
Preconfigured hardware modules make it easy to scale from just a few nodes, to several racks and multi-location setups.
End-to-end solution
Our turnkey solution covers everything from underlying hardware resources, software defined storage, network and compute, as well as metered billing.

Highlights
-
Highly efficienct
RAM and CPU ratio, storage capacity and network throughput are based on analyzing usage patterns of previous deployments over several years. -
Configurable
The hardware stack can be customized for specific workloads using AMD, Intel or OCP designs. Additionally, GPU and other special-purpose hardware components can be added. -
Scalable
The Base option is easily extendable by adding more nodes to the rack. With the Scale option you can grow on a rack level.
