Enterprise IT Challenges
Seismic Shift in Enterprise IT EXISTING EMERGING Applications with predictable usage models Dynamic applications that scale to meet demand Open source perceived as unknown and risky Open source is well understood and widely adopted Compute-centric infrastructure Long innovation cycle Software-defined infrastructure across compute, networking, and storage IT as a cost center Compressed innovation cycle IT as a competitive advantage
Evolving Application Landscape Application demands are becoming more complex IMMEDIATE PERVASIVE AWARE Application infrastructure is becoming more diverse CLOUD MOBILE INTERNET OF THINGS BIG DATA AUTOMATION ABSTRACTION
The OpenStack Promise Modular architecture Designed to easily scale out Based on growing set of core services Infrastructure For Cloud-Enabled Workloads
Why OpenStack? Brings public cloud-like capabilities into your datacenter Provides massive on-demand (scale-out) capacity 1,000's 10,000's 100k's of VMs Removes vendor lock-in Open source provides high-degree of flexibility to customize and interoperate Community development = higher feature velocity Features and functions you need, faster to market over proprietary software
