h1-openstack OpenStack®

Aptira's cloud offering is powered by OpenStack®.

OpenStack is a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing technologists producing the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds. It is emerging as the standard technology platform for cloud computing much as Linux emerged during the nineties to dominate server technology. The project aims to deliver solutions for all types of clouds by being simple to implement, massively scalable, and feature rich. The technology consists of a series of interrelated projects delivering various components for a cloud infrastructure solution.

The major components are: 

  • Compute (Nova)
  • Storage (Swift)
  • Image Service (Glance)
  • Identity (Keystone)
  • Dashboard (Horizon)
  • Network Connectivity (Quantum)
  • Block Storage (Cinder)

Enterprises and the developer community are adopting OpenStack at an accelerating pace. Big names in the industry such as Dell, Cisco, IBM, RedHat Suse, Canonical, NEC and AT&T, along with 180+ other businesses have already invested to take advantage of the OpenStack adoption wave. With several thousand active code contributors and a support base growing exponentially, the future looks particularly bright and this translates to an opportunity for the middleware vendors to intelligently integrate their solutions with OpenStack® and leverage it as a sales channel.
