Today at Citrix Synergy, the OpenStack project received another big boost with the announcement of Citrix Project Olympus. From the project’s website:
Leveraging OpenStack, Project Olympus delivers the next generation in cloud computing – a scalable, flexible, open-by-design cloud solution that enables service providers and enterprise alike to build their own cloud services.
The early access program for Project Olympus gives users:
- Citrix tested, certified and supported version of OpenStack
- A cloud-optimized version of XenServer
- Access to hardware
- Personalized design, engineering, training and support services
The press release on this announcement from Citrix is available here. Feedback from the broader community on this announcement has been incredibly positive and I wanted to share a few blog posts:
