  6. Why OpenStack / SME • Storage now a commodity • Data kept in UK important (by UK company) important • Price per user important • OpenStack provides scalable fault tolerant storage on low cost hardware • Enterprise DropBox type use case • SME was able to provide the EFSS piece • Rich Web UI with Cloud Drive / Sync integration into Mac, Windows, Linux • Support all mobile devices that may be used in business (iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry) • Provided full audit for files used ‘on cloud’ • Provided governance controls around file sharing • SME storage agnostic - no perceived lock-in if want to swap providers

  7. OpenStack Swift ‘takeaways’ • Lots of interest by large companies • More than ‘tyre kickers” SME currently working on over 10 concurrent Enterprise POC’s involving Swift • Largest is 250K user base • Continued interest from ISP’s • Partly driven by ‘open source’, partly driven by ROI, partly driven by privacy fall out • Companies looking for ‘missing pieces to be able to deploy • Enterprise File Share and Sync – private Dropbox use case • Desktop integration, mobile integration, apps integration • Cloud Gateway functionality • Integration with “what we have” i.e Active Directory, LDAP, SAML, Kerberos etc • Auditability / Governance
