Alessandro Pilotti, Cloudbase Solutions at OpenStack Summit 2013 with John Furrier and Jeff Frick
SiliconAngle’s theCube hosts John Furrier and Jeff Frick had the opportunity to talk with Alessandro Pilotti, the CEO of Cloudbase Solutions, during the 2013 OpenStack Summit, which kicked off today in Portland, Oregon. Pilotti discussed Cloudbase’s work with Microsoft, as well as his perspective on and experience with OpenStack.
Cloudbase Solutions provides IT services and consulting, and has recently been focused on integration and interoperability between Microsoft products and OpenStack. “People are very interested in integrating OpenStack with their Microsoft-based workloads, and they come to us for consulting on how to do it, since OpenStack employment is not to be taken lightly,” says Pilotti.
Jeff Frick asked Pilotti to share Microsoft’s perspective on OpenStack, with the intention of getting an unbiased, third-party answer. Pilotti explained that since Microsoft still has its own cloud technologies, like Microsoft System Center, a main concern is making sure that OpenStack doesn’t compete with those existing technologies.
.
A main concern that, it seems, is completely justified. Pilotti expressed his disbelief about Openstack’s rapid success. I am frankly amazed with how fast this project grew up, he explains. “Every six months there is a new release, and the quality is amazing,” he says. “The quality of the code, the contributors, everything is top-notch, and it is one of the best products and projects out there right now.”
“This project is truly open source,” Pilotti added. “Almost every other open source project is, in one way or another, controlled by a single company. But OpenStack is different. It is definitely a community project. It may be this aspect alone that will continue to make OpenStack so flexible, limitless, and successful.”
