JFE Steel Corporation Accelerates Growth and Globalization with OpenStack Cloud

JFE Steel Corporation, one of the largest steel companies of the world from Japan, has just launched its OpenStack-based, one-of-a-kind cloud service this April.

Most significant is its three-layer architecture, where every function provided by the underlying infrastructure layer is managed by OpenStack-based automation layer combining those functions into services, which lies under the control of the top-most IT Service management layer aligning JFE's business requirements with its IT requirements.

In this session, the customer himself addresses JFE's insights and efforts to get the best out of OpenStack to respond to the real business needs from steel industry where operational quality and business continuity are the two most important aspects of IT.

From implementation perspectives, each of three layers communicates through the Web API channels provided by IBM's cloud ready solutions. These will be covered by IBM's engineers as co-presenters.
