VMware launched an integrated OpenStack solution as a way to augment its larger vision for the software-defined data center and architecture for building private, hybrid or public clouds.
VMware recognizes the open source movement for cloud operating systems and the increasingly diverse and dynamic set of technologies used by its customers. Like its other announcement this week to team up with Google, Docker and Pivotal on container adoption, VMware’s OpenStack play is just another avenue to embrace the realities of other IT environments and empower VMware architecture within them.
VMware has been involved with the OpenStack foundation for years and it is currently the number 4 contributor to integrated (core) OpenStack projects. Through its 2012 acquisition of Nicira, VMware’s Network Virtualization Platform has been at the foundation of many OpenStack production environments.
