What is OpenStack?

10

• OpenStack is an open source infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud platform

• Jointly founded in July 2010 by Rackspace and NASA with merger of two

projects: Swift and Nova

• OpenStack is the single largest open source solution in history

• Surrounding this project is a massive ecosystem of vendors, many of whom

offer a distribution of OpenStack and added services to facilitate adoption

Fastest Growing Global Open Source Community

1. Enormous growth in all parts of the ecosystem –In February 2014, Forrester said “OpenStack would become a new de facto IaaS cloud standard by 2015”

2. More contributions directly from users

3. Collaborative support from users community

4. Use cases to build on
