This document discusses using OpenStack to build a private cloud infrastructure for enterprise use. It argues that OpenStack is the best choice because it is open source, actively developed by a large community, and has a simple architecture. The company implemented OpenStack using existing server hardware and customized it to integrate internal development platforms and workflows. This improved resource utilization, development efficiency, and enabled new services like a cloud-based file sharing system. The private cloud deployment increased server utilization within the company from 10% to 60% and helped reuse older hardware.
