You Can Build Your OpenStack and Consume it Too

The power of the community is what makes open source initiatives extremely transformational—like OpenStack. On the other hand, enterprise users who are looking at adopting this solution need to go through a steep learning curve and deep transformation of their internal team structure. The power of OpenStack is actually greatly amplified by the ecosystem of vendors around it that look at important aspects like support and hardening as well as augmentation of specific aspects (e.g. scalability and performance) that are needed in production environments bringing the most value to users. Join Rackspace and PLUMgrid product specialists to learn how we jointly enable our Private Cloud enterprise users to consume OpenStack and Software Defined Networks (SDN) as ONE solution that brings comprehensive security, scalability and performance and a rich set of operational tools.

Lessons learnt enabling enterprise users adopting OpenStack, key benefits of joint solution.
