OpenStack, An Alternative to VMware and Hyper-V?
In July 2010, Rackspace Hosting and NASA jointly launched a new open source cloud initiative known as OpenStack. The mission of the OpenStack project was to enable any organization to create and offer cloud computing services running on standard hardware. The community’s first official release, code-named Austin, was made available just four months later with plans to release regular updates of the software every few months. The early code comes from NASA’s Nebula platform as well as Rackspace’s Cloud Files platform. Early on in the history of the project, Ubuntu [9] Linux distribution decided to adopt OpenStack.
Just read about this new jargon, very interesting indeed as OpenStack was initiated by a leading web hosting company in US and there is an extremely self-conceited man in China who said that he will replace VMware with OpenStack within a year…Gosh!
