Comments on: The dark side of OpenStack http://gigaom.com/2012/09/28/the-dark-side-of-openstack/ Sat, 25 May 2013 06:11:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Justin Nemmers http://gigaom.com/2012/09/28/the-dark-side-of-openstack/#comment-1141910 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:17:50 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=567750#comment-1141910 What about the ongoing fragmentation of the stack itself? OpenStack definitely has some great benefits, but how well does it solve other issues IT shops are faced with? There are some more thoughts on another recent blog post here: http://bit.ly/PLl7o2

Open Source is such a good idea and such a disruptive way to experience software that coopting the model did not take much time. See also my blog post for more thoughts on the interplay between disruptive and legacy and the ongoing war to survive in this ecosystem / theater of operations, What Motivates Open Standards in the Cloud? http://blog.bronzedrum.com/2011/08/what-motivates-open-standards-in-cloud.html?spref=tw

I generally agree with this report from Gartner. it seems a little biased especially calling out OpenStack versus all of the other open source solutions on the market but it echos what I’ve been saying about OpenStack in general. It’s great for Cloud vendors and hardware/software providers but I’m not sold on it as a solution in the datacenter.

Can’t say I question the results. It has a bias but can’t say that I found anything false. I’ve had a similar perspective on OpenStack. It’s great for providers and OEMs but I’m not too excited about it in the enterprise.

We (ICCLab, http://www.cloudcomp.ch) put some slides about the OpenStack Foundation and it’s bylaws together and are happy to receive feedback.
