<strong>Open</strong>Stack Software<br />
<strong>Open</strong>Stack software is a cloud operating system that<br />
controls large pools of compute, storage, <strong>and</strong><br />
networking resources throughout a datacenter, all<br />
managed through a dashboard that gives administrators<br />
control while empowering <strong>the</strong>ir users to provision<br />
resources through a web interface. But <strong>the</strong> <strong>Open</strong>Stack<br />
project is also a community where ideas, <strong>and</strong> code, can<br />
be shared <strong>and</strong> leveraged by all participants. The<br />
<strong>Open</strong>Stack project is backed by an independent<br />
Foundation <strong>and</strong> global community with more than 7,000<br />
members representing 850 unique organizations across<br />
88 countries. All <strong>the</strong> code is freely available under <strong>the</strong><br />
Apache 2.0 license.<br />
registration, <strong>and</strong> delivery services (project code<br />
name Glance)<br />
<strong>Open</strong>Stack Identity Service: An identity service<br />
that enables common au<strong>the</strong>ntication across all<br />
<strong>Open</strong>Stack projects (project code name Keystone)<br />
<strong>Open</strong>Stack Virtual Network Service: Network<br />
connectivity as a service (project code name<br />
Quantum)<br />
<strong>Open</strong>Stack Dashboard: A graphical interface for<br />
administrators <strong>and</strong> users to access, provision, <strong>and</strong><br />
automate cloud based resources (project code name<br />
Horizon)<br />

With <strong>Open</strong>Stack Technology, <strong>the</strong><br />
Community Creates <strong>the</strong> <strong>Cloud</strong><br />
<strong>Open</strong>Stack community members believe in <strong>the</strong> four<br />
“opens”: open source, open design, open development,<br />
<strong>and</strong> an open community. Participants in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Open</strong>Stack<br />
community can freely create <strong>and</strong> contribute code <strong>and</strong><br />
work with <strong>the</strong> community to develop st<strong>and</strong>ards for<br />
future cloud technology.<br />

Some of <strong>the</strong> key <strong>Open</strong>Stack projects are listed below.<br />
<strong>Open</strong>Stack Compute: <strong>Open</strong> source software <strong>and</strong><br />
APIs for massively scalable virtual compute<br />
instance deployments (project code name Nova)<br />
<strong>Open</strong>Stack Object Storage: <strong>Open</strong> source software<br />
<strong>and</strong> APIs for static object storage that’s massively<br />
scalable (project code name Swift)<br />
<strong>Open</strong>Stack Block Storage: <strong>Open</strong> source <strong>and</strong><br />
software <strong>and</strong> APIs for <strong>the</strong> creation , attaching, <strong>and</strong><br />
detaching of <strong>the</strong> block devices to servers (project<br />
code name Cinder)<br />
<strong>Open</strong>Stack Image Service: A multi-format image<br />
registry that is for disk images <strong>and</strong> offers discovery,<br />
Anyone can run <strong>Open</strong>Stack code, build on that code <strong>and</strong><br />
submit change requests back to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Open</strong>Stack project.<br />
Based on open source principles, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Open</strong>Stack project<br />
<strong>and</strong> cloud services based on <strong>Open</strong>Stack technology put<br />
choice, freedom, <strong>and</strong> community at <strong>the</strong> fingertips of<br />
customers <strong>and</strong> developers worldwide.<br />
<strong>Open</strong>Stack community members believe that an open<br />
development model is <strong>the</strong> best way to foster open APIs<br />
<strong>and</strong> frameworks, remove <strong>the</strong> fear of proprietary license<br />
lock-in, <strong>and</strong> create a large ecosystem that spans cloud<br />
providers. <strong>HP</strong> is dedicated to providing choice <strong>and</strong><br />
avoiding vendor lock-in in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Open</strong>Stack solutions <strong>and</strong><br />
services we bring to customers, partners <strong>and</strong><br />
developers.<br />
