OpenSource Silicon Valley 2015: Unlocking infrastructure and changing IT | #OSSV15
The OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015 conference kicked off today at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA, with the theme “unlocking infrastructure.” theCUBE’s John Furrier and Jeff Frick started off coverage of OpenStack with a rundown of upcoming events and a look down memory lane at how OpenStack has changed IT.
Looking back at OpenStack Silicon Valley 2014, Frick listed all the acquisitions and activity precipitated by last year’s event. Furrier has seen big players looking to OpenStack: “Intel, Google … all the top dogs are here,” he said, adding that the “consumerization of IT is happening. Cloud is powering innovation.”
OpenStack on right trajectory
Comparing OpenStack to its biggest competitor, Amazon Web Services, Furrier and Frick cite AWS as the gold standard, but they also see OpenStack gaining steam and following AWS’ path. Furrier disagrees with concerns that OpenStack is “a day late and a dollar short,” saying that OpenStack has a marketing problem because it is not a one-size-fits-all solution; however, it is on the right trajectory.
Frick agreed, saying that the current period is one of growing pains as OpenStack gets into the real world. He cited eBay, Inc. as an example of a company with 20% of its workloads on an OpenStack-based systems.
