A couple of weeks back Equanet were lucky enough to attend the first EMEA forum for OpenStack we have been tracking this solution closely since its inception a year ago and all I can say is watch this space for some exciting developments.
While companies such as VMware, Microsoft and Red Hat hope to use their data center presence to grab significant wallet share of the IaaS, a growing number of technology providers are aligning around open source cloud contender OpenStack as a platform for both public cloud providers and for customers' private clouds.
Well-established vendors and providers such as Dell, NASA, Rackspace and Citrix are throwing real weight behind OpenStack in the form of actual products and implementations. And to bring real credibility to that Citrix just acquire cloud.com. That's good news. It means the year-old project isn't likely to fade away anytime soon.
Dell is among the most notable companies to throw its weight behind OpenStack. The company this week unveiled its anticipated package of hardware, software, and services built around OpenStack, aimed at giving organisations the tools to deploy their own IaaS operations.
This is one area to watch and with the backing of major vendors and consultancies we believe that this is going to be a great journey.
