  1. May 23nd2012 Rob Hirschfeld, Dell OpenStack Update Infrastructure as a Service

  2. & • Dell has been a part of OpenStack since inception • We have had an OpenStack-powered Cloud solution in market for nearly a year. • We are seeing substantial field interest with installed OpenStack clouds in the teens with a backlog of orders. • Our solution includes: • hardware, software, consulting, • operations best practice (DevOps), • and ecosystem partners.

  3. What is ? Cloud Infrastructure Software (like Amazon Cloud) • Apache 2 Open source • Community developed: International, Multi-Vertical • Dedicated Foundation overseeing governance • Delivers software, control panels, and APIs required to securely orchestrate a massive-scale cloud • Virtual workloads (like “EC2”) • Object Storage (like “S3”) • Coming: Block & Networks • Multiple Integrated Components

  4. Use Cases • Markets • Hosting & Telco • Financial • Academic & Government (NASA was a founder) • Web & SaaS • All Geographies • Reasons for Adoption • License Avoidance (open source) • Scale Architecture (no SANs, no clusters) • Pace of innovation • Market Buzz – expectation of ecosystem

  5. Investment Risk & Return • Risks • Fast Development Cycle (drives upgrade treadmill) • Security (due to lack of maturity) • Evolving/Missing Components (e.g.: network, block store) • Safest Path • Private Cloud with Static Networks • KVM & Ubuntu getting heaviest developer focus • Object Store (Swift) is most stable & scalable • Return on Investment • License costs (offset by needed expertise) • Uses “cloud optimized hardware” • Leverage growing ecosystem (hybrid cloud, tools portability, etc)

  6. Community Health OpenStack’s community is remarkably vibrant, well funded and rapidly expanding. It is no longer lead by any single vendor. • Prominent Adopters • Private Cloud Solutions (Dell, Nebula, Piston) • Large public clouds & hosting companies (Rackspace, ATT, NTT, Dreamhost, HP, Deutsche Telecom) • Web & SaaS Providers (eBay, Wikimedia, ) • Government (NASA) • Major Linux Distributions (Ubuntu, Suse, RedHat) • Hardware Vendors (Dell, HP, IBM, Cisco) • Substantial Contributors • Dev: Rackspace, HP, RedHat, Citrix, Nebula, Cisco, Canonical, Piston … • Ops: Dell has lead here with Opscode. Puppet joining.

  8. Readiness Today • Current Release: Essex • April 2012 • Strengths • Stability • Integrated Authentication (Keystone) • User Interface Dashboard (Horizon) • Cutting Edge Opportunities • Networking Service Incubation (Quantum) • Risks • Block Storage

  9. Futures / Roadmap • Next Release: Folsom • October 2012 • Major Trends • Networking Innovation • Block Storage • Deployment Standardization • Areas to Watch • Ecosystem Growth • Distributions from New Operating Systems

  10. & • Dell mission for OpenStack • Shorten customers time-to-value on OpenStack • Contributed open source “DevOps” installer • What is Crowbar? • Dell lead Open Source Cloud Deployer Project • Not limited to Dell Hardware • Brings in “operations as code” approach • Supports multiple Operating Systems • Supports multiple Hadoop, OpenStack & others
