- OpenStack is the dominant open source platform for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing. It has over 3000 developers from 180+ organizations contributing to the project, making it the fastest growing open source project in history.
- The IaaS market is expected to reach $6 billion in size within 4 years, and OpenStack will power a huge portion of this market. Proprietary cloud platforms offer easy adoption but with vendor lock-in, while OpenStack provides less risk of lock-in but is harder to deploy.
- Mirantis started as enthusiastic early adopters of OpenStack, organizing the first OpenStack Meetup. It has since grown to be a leading OpenStack consulting company and solutions provider, with over 60

Got Shadow IT? How to Win-Win with a Private Cloud.Platform9
How can IT support high velocity, agile software development? By providing the agility of public cloud with the control and economics of a private cloud. This presentation will walk you through the issues to consider and propose a solution.
The Evolution of OpenStack – From Infancy to EnterpriseRackspace
As OpenStack turns 5 this year, we thought it would be a good time to take a look back at the evolution of OpenStack. We start with a quick overview of what OpenStack is, how OpenStack came to be and describe the OpenStack Foundation. Next we describe the problem that OpenStack helps to solve, the components of OpenStack and the timeline for when these components came to be. Last, we outline the current features and benefits that make OpenStack ready for the enterprise with supporting Enterprise use case examples. Blog can be found here (

We tend to split the cloud world today into just two paradigms - public and private. Public works. Private doesn’t…. Or so says Gartner. Let’s compare side by side.
Digital Disciplines: Attaining Market Leadership through the CloudMirantis
Keynote by Joe Weinman, author of Cloudonomics and Digital Disciplines, at OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015.
Joe wraps the event by delineating four generic strategies used by leading tech companies and traditional blue chips to leverage a variety of information technologies: information excellence, i.e., better processes; solution leadership, i.e., cloud-connected smart, digital products and services; collective intimacy, i.e., big-data-based algorithms to enhance customer relationships; and accelerated innovation through open source, challenges, and innovation networks.
Decomposing Lithium's Monolith with Kubernetes and OpenStackMirantis
Keynote by Lachlan Evenson, Team Lead of Cloud Platform Engineering at Lithium Technologies, at OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015.
Application developers are rapidly moving to container-based models for dynamic service delivery and efficient cluster management. In this session, we will discuss a OpenStack production environment that is rapidly evolving to leverage a hybrid cloud platform to deliver containerized micro services in a SaaS Development/Continuous Integration environment. Kubernetes is being used to simplify and automate the service delivery model across the public/private (OpenStack, AWS, GCE) environments and is being introduced in a way that eliminates extra overhead and engineering effort. Lithium is actively contributing to key open source upstream projects and working closely with its engineering/development teams to optimize software efficiency with an elastic cloud architecture that delivers on the benefits of cloud automation.
OpenStack: Changing the Face of Service DeliveryMirantis
Keynote by Lew Tucker, VP and CTO of Cloud Computing at Cisco, at OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015.
As more companies move to software-driven infrastructures, OpenStack opens up new possibilities for traditional network service providers, media production, and content providers. Micro-services, and carrier-grade service delivery become the new watchwords for those companies looking to disrupt traditional players with virtualized services running on OpenStack.
Keynote by Diane Bryant, SVP and GM of the Data Center Group at Intel, at OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015.
Cloud computing provides tremendous agility and efficiency to organizations are the driver of the digital service economy. In her keynote, Diane Bryant will discuss how Intel was an early leader in adoption of cloud computing under her tenure as CIO and how this experience has shaped broader strategy to deliver tens of thousands of new clouds across the enterprise with Intel’s new Cloud for All Initiative. Attendees can expect to learn about OpenStack’s critical role in shaping the future of the enterprise data center and learn more about key industry efforts to drive enterprise readiness to the OpenStack platform.
Containers for the Enterprise: It's Not That SimpleMirantis
Keynote by Alex Polvi, CEO of CoreOS, at OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015.
Containers are rapidly finding their way into enterprise data centers. But enterprises like to consume complete products. How do technologies like containers make their way from hyperscale ubiquity to enterprise nirvana? Alex offers some clues.
Protecting Yourself from the Container ShakeoutMirantis
Keynote by Boris Renski, Co-Founder and CMO of Mirantis, and Lachlan Evenson, Team Lead of Cloud Platform Engineering at Lithium Technologies, at OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015.
The Docker-fueled container craze is much less of a threat to VMs or OpenStack than it is to PaaS vendors. The story of “do it the way Google does it” is proving just as tough to monetize with enterprises as commodity cloud was. Boris will talk about OpenStack as a “safe harbor” from the coming container shakeout, leveraging the project’s maturity as a place to try various container strategies until the winner emerges.
Lachlan Evenson of Lithium will join Boris to share how Lithium deployed Kubernetes on OpenStack.
Keynote by James Staten, Chief Strategist of the Cloud + Enterprise division of Microsoft, at OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015.
Clinton campaign manager James Carville reminded his team often that driving change came through winning the hearts and minds of the people and where government affects them the most: “It’s the economy, stupid.” In helping enterprises make the shift to cloud, the biggest issue isn’t the technology but the process change organizations have to go through that determine success. In this session, James Staten, chief strategist for the Microsoft Cloud+Enterprise division, and former lead cloud analyst at Forrester Research will share his findings and recommendations for helping enterprise organizations, particularly IT Orgs, successfully navigate a change to the cloud.
Keynote by OpenStack Foundation Executive Director Jonathan Bryce at OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015.
Hundreds of companies are running millions of cores in production with OpenStack. The work continues, but the platform is mature. Now, the community is evolving OpenStack into a platform for innovation—a reliable environment in which to test, try and adopt new technologies as they prove themselves.
Amit Tank of DIRECTV will join Jonathan Bryce to discuss his organization's plans for using OpenStack as the one platform for integration of VMs, containers and emergent technologies down the road.

research it further and build a private cloud for our
internal IT

26. The Mirantis Way
Lauren said, I should do a
MeetUp in the Bay Area
We liked the technology…
so I called Mark Collier
and asked how can we get
involved?
Mark Collier said “I don’t know
you so talk to Lauren Sell.”

27. The Mirantis Way
We figured the MeetUp would look
like this… and reserved a small
room.
But it ended up looking like this
27
28. The Mirantis Way
After the MeetUp the word got out that we know
OpenStack… and people started calling us…
Randy Bias from
CloudScaling called
and said he could Ray O’Brien from
use a partner… NASA called and said
Some people from Nexenta that
all his staff left to open
you don’t know called and said
OpenStack Startups
they are interested in OpenStack
