More than nine out of ten private cloud projects start off poorly. Some of them fail due to cost over runs. Others flop because they under-deliver on functionality. And many suffer from unnecessary complexity and schedule delays. The ZeroStack Cloud Platform was specifically designed to solve these problems. A true end-to-end solution supporting 100% pure OpenStack APIs, it offers the best of both clouds -- the convenience and agility of the Public Cloud combined with the control and performance of the Private Cloud.

DIY OpenStack Private Cloud
Public Cloud
Vendor-Driven Private Cloud

5. © ZeroStack Inc. | zerostack.com 5
Unraveling the Options: Vendor-Driven Private Cloud
“ “We don’t want to be locked
into [insert vendor name].
- Large university
“ “I don’t have experts to build
and operate the cloud.
- Leading EDA firm

6. © ZeroStack Inc. | zerostack.com 6
Unraveling the Options: DIY OpenStack Private Cloud
“ “We have been trying to build
an OpenStack-based cloud for
6 months.
- Enterprise software vendor
“ “I don’t want my IT to be
developers
- Local municipality

7. © ZeroStack Inc. | zerostack.com 7
Unraveling the Options: Public Cloud
“ “We have used both EC2 and
internal OpenStack. We find the
private cloud to be 2-4x faster.
- Prominent retail brand
“ “
AWS looks cheaper but it is not.
You pay for everything and can’t
control the cost as you grow.
- Provider of analytics software

Goal: Create a Path to Simplify the Journey
Built in minutes… Not months…
Without the need for a team of rocket scientists.
A fully functional cloud…
