IDC tracks OpenStack developments under the “Software-defined Infrastructure” market. We have observed how OpenStack has evolved over the years and reached a new level of maturity in 2015. The productization of OpenStack – delivered as a packaged distribution and now as appliances – will push its adoption to new heights. Our studies show how customers are cozying up to a “software-defined infrastructure driven by OpenStack.” The presentation will focus primarily on core infrastructure components viz. storage, compute and networking and briefly touch upon orchestration. The presentation will also share results of IDC CloudView survey that shows overall cloud adoption trends as well as awareness of open source initiatives.
