Open Stack

As you may recall, a company called VMware started the virtualization
revolution last decade to allow for better utilization of faster computer
hardware. While the company focused on developing its market share, a book
seller named Amazon took the industry by surprise and built the world's
largest Public Cloud using freely available alternatives.

It was swift, and it embarrassed the largest players in the technology
sector. The only way for a fragmented industry to fight back was to agree on
embracing an open source option.

In 2010, OpenStack which was originally developed by NASA, was ready to meet
the challenge. Most leading companies like IBM, HP, Intel, Rackspace, etc.
invested in its development to offer an alternative. This ground-breaking
open-source platform has grown. It passed through Portland last April and
continued on to taking the world by storm in Hong Kong early this month.
