OpenStack UpdateInfrastructure as a Service
May 23nd 2012Rob 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.
