Mirantis is a company that provides OpenStack cloud technology and services. OpenStack is an open source cloud platform that includes modules for compute, networking, storage, identity management, and more. There are different types of cloud environments, including public clouds that are shared and maintained by cloud providers, private clouds that are isolated within a single organization, and hybrid clouds that combine on-premise and external cloud resources. Hybrid clouds allow organizations to burst to public clouds for additional capacity when needed and improve disaster recovery. Mirantis helps organizations implement OpenStack-based private and hybrid clouds.
