Insight from OpenStack advocates | #OpenStack
by Amber Johnson | Aug 21, 2015
While it hasn’t happened overnight, open source has made a big impact on development, according to Raghavan “Rags” Srinivas, architect and evangelist at EMC. Srinivas and Jeff Olsen, director of OpenStack Services Portfolio at EMC, stopped by theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s production team, during OpenStack Summit Vancouver 2015.
“We started with open source quite some time back, and that’s the evolution that we are seeing these days,” Srinivas said. He tracked the development of OpenStack and Cloud Foundry as key successes for open-source programs.
Realizing the benefits of open-source technology
Olsen described his role at EMC as a an OpenStack “advocate” that teaches others the benefits of the platform. In a changing market with less of a focus on hardware and a shift toward open source, Olsen related that EMC leadership was very encouraging of their team.
“Our leadership … they embraced it,” Olsen said. “The basically said, ‘You guys are all very smart people. We hired you for a reason. Give us a business case.”
EMC employs several people who came from companies with open-source backgrounds. “We’ve started to see the benefits of open-source technology,” Srinivas stated. “If you think of the family, open source has always been in the blood. It’s becoming more relevant at EMC as well.”
“With OpenStack, it’s a matter of transformation. So, I would say 95% are very big VMware shops,” stated Olsen. A lot of cases have management determining that a business needs to develop third-platform-based applications or recognizing that OpenStack is the right application, but they don’t know “how to take the keys and drive it.” EMC offers assistance with the deployment.
