“Storage is terrified right now. Storage is a giant bastion of proprietary software.”  

Joshua McKenty – CTO, Piston Cloud and Board Member of OpenStack

If you are wondering what exactly OpenStack is, Ryan Cox of Silicon Angle published a great post summarizing a discussion at theCUBE at the OpenStack Summit this week with co-hosts John Furrier – Founder, SiliconANGLE and Jeff Frick – theCUBE. “OpenStack allows the application developers to do amazing things on top of the software-defined infrastructure. The most disruptive industry because of OpenStack? Storage, according to McKenty. “Storage is terrified right now. Storage is a giant bastion of proprietary software.”

So, how does Joshua define Openstack?

  • ONE community
  • TWO kinds of clouds (Public, Private)
  • THREE kinds of interfaces (command, web dashboard, program API)
  • FOUR kinds of resources (2 storage, 2 virtual)
  • FIVE actors (vendors, operators, auditors, users, end users)

Seagate joined Openstack this past February to “help cloud builders to develop more scalable, customizable solutions using open platforms while reducing operating costs and providing benefits for consumers in the marketplace.”  It’s through this direct engagement with customers and open source communities that Seagate is better positioned to develop products that set new standards for lower TCO and higher productivity. In the era of open source, the solutions the technology industry brings to market must be a collaborative effort among suppliers, partners and end-customers. We expect to be a key contributor to numbers 1-2-3-4-5 above.
