When will OpenStack be ready for prime time? | #OpenStack
theCUBE cohosts Stu Miniman and John Furrier assessed the OpenStack technology and community as they prepared for their third day of interviews with industry leaders during the OpenStack Summit in Vancouver.
Although the conference attracted between 6,000 to 7,000 people this year, Miniman said that OpenStack has some work to do before it reaches maturity. “The line of sight is there,” he said. “I expect a year from now we will be able to say that OpenStack is fully ready for prime time.”
The converged infrastructure wave
Miniman noted that key players such as Brocade, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard and Red Hat are all contributing. “Converged infrastructure has been this huge wave,” he said. “EMC talked about how OpenStack fits into their plans … there’s a lot growing in this space.”
Furrier asked Miniman how OpenStack would impact developers.
“If we can simplify the underlying infrastructure, use OpenStack as that integration engine so that underneath it just ties in to the required hardware, it’s a real opportunity to move the needle,” Miniman said. “Because, unfortunately, IT has spent way too much time and effort making the spoke infrastructure that they have to spend lots of time keeping the business running, not transforming and growing the business.”
