3. Why do we need an open cloud platform?
‣ Eliminate technology and vendor lock-in
‣ Rapid innovation is achieved through collaboration
‣ Freedom to implement the same stack everywhere
enables public/private hybrid, federation scenarios
4. OpenStack Mission Statement:
Vision of an Open Source Cloud Platform
“To produce the ubiquitous open source cloud
computing platform that will meet the needs of
public and private cloud providers regardless of
size, by being simple to implement and
massively scalable.”
6. Software to provision virtual machines on
commodity hardware at massive scale
Software to reliably store billions of objects
distributed across commodity hardware

The technology vendor ecosystem will have the opportunity to grow and accelerate innovation around an open cloud standard, which will benefit the end users, because they will not have to architect their products for each proprietary cloud vendor.
