Transcript of OpenStack: The Platform of Choice for Cloud [Infographic]
In the lifecycle of cloud development, a majority of organizations are already on their second or third implementation of private cloud, using internally developed solutions or alternative offerings from vendors. Hands-on experience around the internal development of private cloud has revealed a host of challenges that companies need help to address. An IDG Connect survey of 200 US enterprise decision makers reveals that key issues include resource management, simplifying IT management, application management and application migration. Vendors and System Integrators are an effective resource to address these issues and close gaps that include guidance on where to start with an OpenStack implementation to manage private cloud environments and its potential impact.
