and the Industry Shift

with Open Cloud

Why OpenStack?

OpenStack for Enterprise

• Open source is not new

• OpenStack is not new

• Enterprise adoption is not new

• So why is this still being talked about like it’s new?

• Because it is, for Enterprise

Open Clouds – Open Tools

• Open source projects are changing the way that we acquire and build software

• Open != Free

• Open != Perfect

• Open IS fundamentally good

• Walled gardens are less of an attractive platform recently

Why Fear Open Source?

Changing Landscapes

• Increased adoption of open tools all ranges of organizations

• Open communities are spawned which ultimately supports and grows the adoption

• More enterprises vendors are consuming and committing back to open ecosystems
