This panel discussion brings together three startup success stories from the OpenStack ecosystem. It provides the life cycle of some of the recent OpenStack acquisitions and funding stars. It tracks their journeys from ideas to implementation, growth and acquisitions. It also looks into the future and identifies opportunities where best of breed players can fill the gaps left by bigger players.
We bring the real OpenStatck startup stories from CloudScaling/EMC (Randy Bias), MetaCloud/Cisco (Sean Lynch) and SwiftStack (Joe Arnold). How did they start, how did they grow, how and why did they get acquired and their lives post acquisition and funding?
We also give you a glimpse of the future of OpenStack acquisitions, gaps in offerings from the big players where the startups can win.
