OpenStack is an open source cloud computing platform that allows organizations to create public and private clouds from commodity hardware. IBM has significantly contributed to OpenStack's success through early participation in the project, contributions of code and capabilities, and evangelism of OpenStack within the industry. IBM leverages OpenStack in its own cloud offerings and enables key IBM technologies through its contributions to OpenStack.

6. We’ve seen this before: open source fosters markets & innovation
In the era of a Smarter
Planet, IBM will continue to
leverage open source
ecosystems ….
In the era of e-business…
IBM leverages the nascent open
source software movement…
…and becomes the market leader in SOA
implementations and the world’s largest
software company
November 2001 – IBM rallies 150 influential vendors and the development
community around a new tools environment with a $40 Million software
donation disrupting the leadership of the software development ecosystem
September 1999: IBM capitalizes on an untapped market trend and begins
participating in the community development of Linux with a $60M annual investment
June 1998 – IBM enters into an engineering agreement with The Apache Group for
development of the open-source Apache HTTP server software eventually becoming the
leader of the new Application Server market
