"Evaluating and architecting an OpenStack solution is not just about performing a simple product selection exercise or installing shrink-wrap software. It requires the hands-on experience that can only be achieved from having direct experience architecting and building infrastructure platforms, as well as knowledge of the unique business and technical requirements and challenges facing the customer," said Ken Pepple, Vice President, OpenStack Solutions, Cloud Technology Partners, an highly respected practitioner, author and sought-after speaker in the cloud and OpenStack community. "Cloud Technology Partners' expertise and unique approach enables us to architect, optimize and integrate the OpenStack platform efficiently into the customer's environment, and to educate the customer to become self-sufficient in operationalizing the platform."
The service will be the first of several Cloud Technology Partners OpenStack services. In the coming months, the company will announce additional services aimed at assisting customers in the architecture, deployment and management of OpenStack-based private clouds.
The OpenStack RapidPlan service assists customers to make an informed investment decision on their OpenStack project based on Cloud Technology Partners' delivery experience and objective data. Instead of focusing on the engineering details of installing and configuring a cloud, it focuses on use cases to make the cloud responsive to the customer's needs. As part of the service, Cloud Technology Partners consultants will educate on the proper architecture and design of OpenStack private cloud deployments, provide several customized use cases for the proposed cloud and collaborate on building an indicative cost model for the project.
The Cloud Technology Partners OpenStack RapidPlan service offering is immediately available. For further information, please call (617) 674-0874 Ex. 10 or email [email protected].
