The partnership of Betfair, Redhat and Nuage Networks present the journey from RFP to Production for Betfair's prive cloud. This 12 month programme has delivered a fully automated, scalable, resillient OpenStack solution.
Betfair's vision was to deliver an API-driven infrastructure encompassing compute, storage, network and application delivery. This had to be capable of handling the high transactional load of Betfair's day-to-day operations (circa 2.7Bn API calls, 120M daily transactions).
This presentation, delivered by all three partners, walks you through the stages of the programme - from benefits requirements, vendor selection, project design and implementation.
This presentation will be of great use to anyone considering, or having recently started their own OpenStack implementation with a view of their next generation infrastructure as code.
This is a prime chance to benefit from the lessons learnt and overall experience from a large, innovative project delivering a significant advantage in capability. Betfair operates a large estate and at considerable scale - as such the project was technically challenging and should provide interest to any attendees.
There is particular value to be had from understanding the drivers that led Betfair to chose an OpenStack based solutioin over a more traditional solution.
Atendees will be invited to ask questions to either/all of the 3 partners.
