OpenStack Turned 3
OpenStack is an emerging open private cloud alternative,
and it’s sure to impact UC significantly. OpenStack just celebrated its
third birthday. OpenStack got its start from NASA and
Rackspace as a private cloud alternative to Amazon’s public AWS. In just
three years, the effort now has support from 231 companies,
contributions from 1,036 individuals, implementations in 121 countries,
and several real-life customer implementations including Best Buy,
Bloomberg, Comcast, Fidelity, and PayPal.
