Intel, last week announced Intel 'Cloud for All initiative' to accelerate cloud adoption by making public, private and hybrid cloud solutions easier to deploy. Intel believes the initiative will help businesses to take advantage of the cloud to deliver new capabilities and digital services.
As a key part of this initiative, Intel also announced a new collaboration with Rackspace, the co-founder and leading operator of OpenStack, the predominant open source cloud software platform. Intel and Rackspace will establish the OpenStack Innovation Center to focus on driving enterprise features and scale optimizations into the OpenStack source code.
The OpenStack Innovation Center will include the world's largest OpenStack developer cloud consisting of two 1,000-node clusters that will be available to the OpenStack community-at-large to support advanced, large-scale testing of OpenStack performance, code and new features.
Diane Bryant, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Data Center Group
The cloud has been critical to the digital services economy and has enabled tremendous innovation and business growth, but broad enterprise adoption is not happening fast enough. We believe that through this initiative we will enable our customers to realize the benefits and innovations gained from the latest cloud computing technologies.
