More and more companies are turning to open source for building their cloud. OpenStack is the leading open source cloud platform using public cloud infrastructure to access storage and compute resources on demand.

OpenStack offers organizations advantages over alternative infrastructure choices including:

■ Increases flexibility and control to enable a higher degree of innovation ■ Improves agility by giving businesses the ability to create new applications quickly, reliably and economically ■ Avoids vendor lock-in and large IT vendor investment

While OpenStack is now established as the de facto open cloud platform, it is also difficult to deploy, operate and manage efficiently, due to the lack of in-house expertise. Your OpenStack project could become a costly failure if you make the wrong technology decisions upfront or struggle to acquire and retain the necessary resources.
