The EU Runs on OpenStack

Winning an EU tender in late 2015, the CTA (cloudteamalliance.com) was awarded to provide Openstack based public IAAS services to 52 European Institutions, including the EU Parliament, EU Council, EU Commission, ENISA (EU cyber-security agency), Commission of Justice etc.

The consortium is an all-star european team and is made by Numergy (FRA), Gigas (ESP), Portugal Telecom (PRT) and Enter (ITA). Among these, Enter and Numergy both run two of the largest Openstack-based public clouds. 

The EU DIGIT (Direction generale IT) explicitly requested for Openstack to power EU clouds for its openness, portability, transparency. The goal was to avoid proprietary solutions and vendor lock-ins. Moreover, security after the NSA PRISM scandal was a primary concern. 

In this talk we will explain how the EU agencies will be empowered by Openstack and a fully open source IAAS.
