Community Offers New Resources for Enterprises Modernizing Cloud Infrastructure

Today, the OpenStack Foundation in conjunction with the Win-the-Enterprise (WtE) working group team launched a new Enterprise website. The site offers resources and assistance for enterprises working to implement OpenStack.

Many enterprises operate large VMware-based virtualized infrastructures to support a legacy of mission-critical applications. With OpenStack, they can combine the agility offered by cloud computing while maintaining the stability and resiliency of their traditional environment. When considering OpenStack, VMware vSphere® customers often ask three questions:

• Is OpenStack a free and open-sourced hypervisor that can be used to replace our current VMware ESX® servers?
• Is there feature parity between OpenStack and vSphere?
• Are there benefits to using both?

A new white paper on the Enterprise site, Adding Speed and Agility to Virtualized Infrastructures with OpenStack, addresses these questions by explaining the differences between legacy and cloud workloads and detailing three approaches to using VMware technology with OpenStack.

Also available on the site, an in-depth case study, Adobe Digital Marketing's IT Transformation with OpenStack, takes a close look at how one enterprise drove an evolutionary revamp to take their infrastructure into leading-edge territory, improving a core customer-facing business function—the Adobe Marketing Cloud—in the process.
