OpenStack Board Member Says Adding VMware Was a Mistake
BButlerNWW writes "VMware is in OpenStack now, but not everyone thinks that's such a good idea. One member of the newly created OpenStack Board of Directors says allowing VMware into the open source cloud project was a 'huge mistake' that could damage the project's market perception. Boris Renski is co-founder of OpenStack integration consultancy Mirantis and he says every enterprise he's worked with so far has been interested in OpenStack because they view it as an alternative to VMware. The board's vote earlier this month has now muddled the differences, he says. 'If OpenStack isn't an alternative to VMware, then what the hell is it?' Renski says."
How do I buy a license to try OpenStack? Do I get it through my normal VMWare channel or is there another purchase and licensing mechanism I need to follow?
Clearly, you've been sleeping with VMWare. That's one vote.
You, too, can get rich with this product! I'll tell you how for only $9.99.
When I buy a tool, I demand that it only works with other stuff from the same vendor.
It would just be too confusing if I could use the same adjustable wrench for different brands of bolts.
