OpenStack

“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.”

“Snapdeal Cirrus is a fully automated software defined data center and cloud platform, where infrastructure is built and managed as code. We are proud of what our team has achieved — Snapdeal Cirrus is one of the few successful examples globally of a large hybrid cloud built at a scale of public cloud, purely using open source technologies like OpenStack and Ceph."

"We expected to see a performance impact because of virtualization, however it was considerably smaller than we expected for many scientific apps. The first major pain point that we felt was the quality and scalability of cloud software stack."
