OpenStack

“As we examined the various initiatives we’d have underway in our cloud, which would include the intermingling of physical and virtual loads as well as complex network configurations, we knew that the flexibility inherent in OpenStack would prove powerful enough to support our objectives. With OpenStack we have the ability to customize the platform and maintain significant control over our destiny.”

“CADES offers a science-focused computing and data-analytics environment that requires underlying flexibility and robustness coupled with a set of powerful tools. A key part of this is a configurable cloud and Red Hat OpenStack Platform offers us exactly that.”

“There are many great open and proprietary solutions that solve specific problems for what you need when providing a cloud platform – compute, storage, etc. But when you look at our scale and ongoing growth of our services, juggling multiple solutions or locking ourselves into one proprietary solution wouldn’t be the best choice. It would be more limiting and expensive over time. OpenStack provides a broad collection of key services with great community and multiple vendor support. It is the best long term choice.”
