OpenStack Mission

“To produce the ubiquitous open source cloud

computing platform that will meet the needs of

public and private cloud providers regardless

of size, by being simple to implement and

massively scalable.”

Enterprises are building clouds to...

Another definition …

“OpenStack is a Cloud Operating System, that takes resources such as compute, storage, network, virtualization technologies and controls those resources at a data center level”

What is OpenStack? OpenStack is a community of open source

developers, participating organizations and users who are building and running the open source cloud operating system.
