OpenStack is an open source cloud computing platform that provides infrastructure as a service. It controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter. Major companies like PayPal, Intel, Bloomberg, and Comcast use OpenStack to build private and public clouds. The OpenStack Foundation oversees the project with contributions from over 1,000 developers from 50 companies.

“We needed agility without
sacrificing availability. By
leveraging the collective
innovation of the OpenStack
community, we can develop
and grow our private cloud
much quicker without having

Intel IT supports more than
75,000 servers in 69 data centers
And more than 91,000 employees
who connect to Intel resources
through more than 138,000
mobile devices.
“OpenStack has dramatically
reduced the amount of time
it takes to provision services
and automatically resolve
resource issues. We can now
deploy a VM in just five to 10
minutes, provide faster self
services to our customers,
and offer a more reliable
infrastructure with rolling
updates that will keep our
infrastructure current without
burdening our staff.”
