At the OpenStack Conference last week, cloud optimization services provider Akamai Technologies, said that it has joined the OpenStack community.
As part of the open source community, Akamai plans to provide advice and guidance on best practices for platform design and architecture to help overcome the availability, delivery, performance, and scale challenges inherently faced by globally distributed cloud infrastructures and applications.
OpenStack is a community of over 100 companies, including Rackspace, NASA, HP, Cisco, Dell, and Citrix, coming together to create a massively scalable cloud operating system. Formed in mid-2010, the community now exceeds 1,500 registered individuals and Akamai is pleased to support the project in an advisory role. |
