LIVE: OpenStack Puts AWS on Alert : Finally Ready for Prime Time?
Only but a few years old, OpenStack has burst on the scene as an open source alternative to Amazon’s AWS and a co-opeter with the likes of IBM, VMware and other large enterprise players. The OpenStack Summit — which once had a budget of $15,000 and 75 people had to be significantly coerced into coming — is now a $2 million budget event with over 3,000 attendees. SiliconANGLE has had live coverage of the OpenStack Summit for the first 3 days on its flagship station #theCube, and it’s clear that something that, just two years ago, our own John Furrier dubbed a “Hail Mary against Amazon’s AWS” is suddenly a viable player in the cloud.
On today’s Live NewsDesk Show with Kristin Feledy (see live stream below) we’ll be hearing from Wikibon’s Chief Analyst, and normally a co-host on theCUBE, Dave Vellante. He’ll give his summary of the state of the cloud, and more specifically OpenStack. I’ll be interested to hear his opinion on the HubSpot news, once a Amazon AWS customer, and if this kind of defection away from AWS to OpenStack is a trend he sees continuing. The landscape of the cloud is a very competitive one right now, Vellante will give his opinion on what horses to bet on in that race.
