6. Why OpenStack for Cloud?
Top 3 Storage Vendors
Top 3 Hypervisor
Top 3 Linux Vendors Top 3 Switch Vendors
Top 3 Router Vendors
Top 3 Blade Vendors
OpenStack has already a large contribution eco system and it is growing
Growing Eco System

7. What difficulties may I find?
Complexity
•Complex and heterogeneous eco system
•Integrations with existing infrastructure
•Don’t do it all by yourself
Features
•Some elements need to be solved through 3rd
parties today (Chargeback, Monitoring)
Maturity
•Very fast paced project
•Some modules are still experimental
•Prepare for continuous upgrades
Skills
•Shortage of skills in the market
•Prepare for continous learning
•Get an experienced partner
Expectations
•Watch the hype and watch the evolution
•Select application architecture and workloads
with realistic expectations
Distributions
•Proprietary elements by major contributors are
not really meant to be open designed
•Beware of vendor lock-in

19. Case A
- New platform
- An approach to the Cloud
- Initial deployment with RHEV + CF + Sat6
- OpenStack evolving from I+D
Case B
- OpenStack as an “Amazon-in-da-house”
- Initial testing by DIY
- PoC and Production deployed by Red Hat
- Actually running heavy production loads

20. Call to Action
"Finally, as I know from my own experience, OpenStack is not easy to deploy.
The project is in a state of constant evolution. To put it into play as a private
cloud requires a lot of work from any system integrator. As for installing
OpenStack using your own IT staff … just don’t. Unless you have OpenStack
experts in-house, you’re just asking for a world of pain."
