What is OpenStack?
• It’s an Open Source “Cloud Operating System”
• Invented by Rackspace and NASA
• OpenStack Foundation created in 2012
• Allows you to build cloud platforms for network,
storage, and compute applications
• Runs on standardized hardware
• Has a large community of supporters and
programmers

Advantages of Open Source
• Agility (app development and deployment)
• Control (you control your own code)
• Open (lack of vendor lock-in)
• Leverage the community of programmers
• Transparency

OpenStack & SDN
• Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a similar
open concept in the networking market
• Open source code
• Open platforms
• Disaggregation of software and hardware
• Agility & Control (ACOLT)
• APIs can connect OpenStack environment to
SDN environments

The Future of Cloud Infrastructure
• Hardware and software will be separated or
“disaggregated”
• Apps and data will be highly distributed
• Open will rule
• Analytics tools will be used to drive integration of
network, storage, and compute
• Increased automation, based on analytics
• Proprietary platforms are dying
