Dealing with ‘the pain’ of OpenStack | #OpenStack

As more businesses turn to tech companies to implement dependable and secure private Clouds, an increasing number of new and innovative solutions are rising to the surface. Jesse Proudman, Blue Box Group, Inc. founder and CTO, joined theCUBE, a SiliconANGLE production, during OpenStack Summit 2015 to discuss his company’s new private Cloud offering, powered by OpenStack.

It handles “all the pain” associated with OpenStack, according to Proudman.

Blue Box also announced at OpenStack Summit an enterprise edition that offers “twice the compute, twice the RAM, and twice the disk profile,” Proudman said. “We’re seeing a lot of uptake from customers that have high-compute, high-performance loads.”

New talent needed

Blue Box, a little over a decade old, has teamed with IBM Cloud to bring customers Cloud solutions. Its rapid growth means a need for more talent.

“We’re actively recruiting,” Proudman said. “People are excited about the way we’re delivering OpenStack and want to work with some of the amazing engineers we have.”

Unfortunately, Blue Box isn’t the only tech company in need of engineers. “There aren’t nearly enough engineers that have the capabilities and experience that any of the organizations involved in this project need,” Proudman said. “To some extent, that’s what makes our business so great; to another extent, that makes it very frustrating.”
