Open Stack

Carol et al,

A number of our customers employ OpenStack motivated in large part for 
it’s ability to function as an on-prem AWS of sorts (something they can 
burst from or repatriate to w/ out altering app deployment logic, or 
simply used as a target for dev tools that expect an AWS endpoint). 

Cheers,

Rob Esker
NetApp, Inc.
