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.
