OpenStack

July 19, 2010

Rackspace officially announced today that we will be pairing up with the NASA Nebula developers in an Open Source project called OpenStack. We spent last week in Austin, TX at the first OpenStack design summit, so it's really exciting to see this take off.

We saw a ton of promise in the Nebula computing project built by NASA and are making it a core part of the project. Taking the contributions of Rackspace and NASA as a starting point, OpenStack forms a powerful foundation of technologies, including a scalable compute provisioning engine - OpenStack Compute - and a fully distributed storage engine - OpenStack Object Storage.
