OpenStack Update Infrastructure as a Service May 23 nd 2012 Rob Hirschfeld, Dell

Dell has been a part of OpenStack since inception We have had an OpenStack-powered Cloud solution in market for nearly a year. We are seeing substantial field interest with installed OpenStack clouds in the teens with a backlog of orders. Our solution includes: – hardware, software, consulting, – operations best practice (DevOps), – and ecosystem partners. &

What is ? Cloud Infrastructure Software (like Amazon Cloud) Apache 2 Open source – Community developed: International, Multi-Vertical – Dedicated Foundation overseeing governance Delivers software, control panels, and APIs required to securely orchestrate a massive-scale cloud – Virtual workloads (like “EC2”) – Object Storage (like “S3”) – Coming: Block & Networks Multiple Integrated Components

Use Cases Markets – Hosting & Telco – Financial – Academic & Government (NASA was a founder) – Web & SaaS All Geographies Reasons for Adoption – License Avoidance (open source) – Scale Architecture (no SANs, no clusters) – Pace of innovation – Market Buzz – expectation of ecosystem

Investment Risk & Return Risks – Fast Development Cycle (drives upgrade treadmill) – Security (due to lack of maturity) – Evolving/Missing Components (e.g.: network, block store) Safest Path – Private Cloud with Static Networks – KVM & Ubuntu getting heaviest developer focus – Object Store (Swift) is most stable & scalable Return on Investment – License costs (offset by needed expertise) – Uses “cloud optimized hardware” – Leverage growing ecosystem (hybrid cloud, tools portability, etc)

Community Health OpenStack’s community is remarkably vibrant, well funded and rapidly expanding. It is no longer lead by any single vendor. Prominent Adopters – Private Cloud Solutions (Dell, Nebula, Piston) – Large public clouds & hosting companies (Rackspace, ATT, NTT, Dreamhost, HP, Deutsche Telecom) – Web & SaaS Providers (eBay, Wikimedia, ) – Government (NASA) – Major Linux Distributions (Ubuntu, Suse, RedHat) – Hardware Vendors (Dell, HP, IBM, Cisco) Substantial Contributors – Dev: Rackspace, HP, RedHat, Citrix, Nebula, Cisco, Canonical, Piston … – Ops: Dell has lead here with Opscode. Puppet joining.
