Elevating OpenStack Out of the Corporate Basement

One of the greatest inhibitors of adoption of OpenStack in medium sized companies is convincing upper management that it’s even a viable alternative to their current infrastructure design. Moving to a private cloud can seem daunting but there are methodologies and strategies that can be employed to realize the enormous gains in agility, control and cost savings that OpenStack can provide.


What can I expect to learn?

  • No cost proof of concept strategies
  • Elements of a solid architectural design
  • Alleviating risk
