In Line Corp. I was closing the distance between the traditional Service IT Infrastructure world and the contemporary trends of Anything & Everything as a Service. I provide an insight on how to overcome cultural IT gaps, and how to architect, design, develop and operate OpenStack based private cloud(s).

At Midokura, I took care about internal IT infrastructure, whose main part is the 'MidoCloud', a production level MidoNet based OpenStack private cloud, split over 2 datacenter worldwide.
