HP joining OpenStack and the announcement of the private beta for HP Cloud Services has raised a lot of good questions from the community. What exactly does it mean? How will HP Cloud Services incorporate OpenStack in its products and broad portfolio? What role HP will play within the OpenStack community? All great questions that we intend to share with you. With developers now signing up for our private beta we can share a bit more about our plans, including our contributions to OpenStack, and perspective on what it will take to create an open and transparent, business grade cloud.
OpenStack co-founder, former NASA CTO and CEO of Nebula Chris C. Kemp talks about the evolution and future of OpenStack, and what the platform must become to achieve its potential.
MercadoLibre User Story
Mercadolibre, e-commerce leader in Latin America, will share how they satisfy their huge needs of Infrastructure resources provisioning with OpenStack when their technologies changed.
The session will cover a brief story of how they moved from a HigOps Virtualization Environment to a real Cloud OS, set up around Openstack Compute (+500 compute nodes), Object Storage and Image Service core services.
The Reality of Running a Cloud and Little Known Ways to Win the Race against Customer Requirements
While we’re celebrating the release of Diablo, customers keep asking for more! In this session Dell’s Executive Director of Revolutionary Cloud and Big Data Solutions, John Igoe, will share how you can actually win the marathon of customer requirements with DevOps.
CERN User Story
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s largest centres for scientific research. Its business is fundamental physics, finding out what the universe is made of and how it works. At CERN, accelerators such as the 27km Large Hadron Collider, are used to study the basic constituents of matter. This talk reviews the challenges to record and analyse the 25 Petabytes/year produced by the experiments and the investigations into how OpenStack could help to deliver a more agile computing infrastructure.
It is well accepted that the cloud is built on open source software and developed and promulgated through open standards. The next evolution in the cloud will be in the growth of open source application services that can easily be deployed and migrate from private, public and hybrid architectures seamlessly where the service does not know or care where it is being developed or deployed as the need arises. Open and ubiquitous services with 'friction-free' delivery models that can match the pace of development and scale of the cloud will be the ones most adopted by users. Ubuntu is the #1 platform for the cloud and provides tools to build an OpenStack cloud and provision these next generation services quickly and efficiently to get immediate value from your cloud investment.
Acens Technologies is the main Spanish ISP, a 80M€ company recently bought by Telefonica (third world largest Telco), that has deployed an Openstack Private Managed Cloud with StackOps, adopting a dual strategy (commodity/enterprise) in their Cloud Offering. In our session, we would be able to showcase this strategy and how Openstack is ready to compete in specific market segments. We would be giving a technical overview of the solution Acens and StackOps have jointly built and how it is being commercialized and operated.
Nachi Ueno, a Researcher at NTT Information Sharing Platform Laboratories, will explain the contribution of the QA Project (https://launchpad.net/openstack-qa) and FreeCloud (https://launchpad.net/freecloud), which is a proof of concept cloud of OpenStack (incluing a DEMO of FreeCloud).
