OpenStack

“One of the driving reasons we went with OpenStack is because it allows us to be more agile, so when somebody comes up with a great idea like this, especially if it’s our CEO, the IT department doesn’t become the bottleneck,”

“OpenStack enables our infrastructure to succeed with its transition to a scalable cloud platform with rich management and automation features. To keep pace with rapidly growing business, we need to make a fundamental change to the way we view our infrastructure, not just technically, but also operationally. Cisco AS was sophisticated in helping us buildup the capability of our platform and our team during the transition. We are now working closely as one team."

"We decided to run OpenStack to help keep costs low, provide elasticity and help scale to thousands of VMs. Our immediate goals were to keep applications up and running, develop a large scale infrastructure with commodity servers and transform our infrastructure offering to a building block base.”
