Open Stack

Hi Michael,

Disclaimer: I work for RiverMeadow. I also have vast cloud and openstack
expertise.

If you are an enterprise, and would like to move your work loads into
Glance, I suggest looking at an offering like that of RiverMeadows. The
platform allows you to seamlessly migrate servers from your existing
environments into the Openstack cloud. You will automatically have
templates created in glance with all the appropriate drivers and everything
you would need.

Just thought I would give you the option to check out that feature. There
is no manual effort needed and everything and all the heavy lifting etc is
handled for you.

Cheers,
Vinay
