IBM: Don't Just Take Our Word for It: Use Cases from Materna & AT&T

Enterprise companies around the world are continuing to adopt OpenStack. In this session, hear about two separate use cases from two companies who chose OpenStack and IBM to help deliver their solution.

Materna, a leading IT consulting and managed service provider company in Europe, will share their use case and the criteria they used for choosing OpenStack as the foundation for their customer-facing solutions. You will hear why they selected an "as a service" deployment model for OpenStack and chose IBM Blue Box to help them innovate faster with the benefits of an open cloud.

AT&T will review a use case for geo-distributed Swift object store deployments at scale. With its Domain 2.0 effort, AT&T is a big proponent of open source software and hardware.  You will hear about AT&T’s Proof of concept testing with IBM and OpenPOWER to provide an open hardware and open source software object storage solution with benefits in density and performance.
