OpenStack has made inroads among companies building elastic cloud environments for on-premise and hosted cloud apps. However, OpenStack and other Cloud OS still have challenges and maturing to do to create robust always-on clouds.
In his session at 14th Cloud Expo, Dave LeClair, Sr. Director of Strategy at Stratus Technologies, will explain why legacy reliability doesn’t work for OpenStack; why the answer lies in a software model that separates availability from application and hardware; how IT can move traditional applications to cloud without rewriting and fill the gap in availability guarantees from public cloud providers; how those providers can use Software-Defined Availability to deliver SLAs that prevent outages that cost millions and damage reputations.
