Open source Cloud War ended, OpenStack first

In the field of cloud computing, open source technology has become a more attractive choice for companies and manufacturers, according to a new survey report, OpenStack after 4 years of rapid development, has completely surpassed other platforms such as Cloudstack, the first.

Zenoss has just completed an open source cloud computing market survey of 376 users (2014 Open source cloud computing), 69% have applied cloud computing technology to varying degrees, and 43% of users are spending a lot of resources on open source technology. 69% of users are using OpenStack, a value that has soared over the last few years.

This is not to say that open source cloud computing is already popular, but this trend is gradually accelerating, in this year's Industry survey report, is using or trying to use open source cloud services accounted for about 30%, but compared to the 2012 Zenoss survey results, 2014, the use of open source cloud computing has increased by nearly 72%, In other words, the usage rate was only 17%. This growth also shows that the resistance to applying cloud computing is being overcome gradually.

The 2012 survey has shown that OpenStack is already a leader in various open source cloud projects, and now its leadership is further enhanced, leading to further consolidation. With a 51% market share in 2012, OpenStack products have reached 69% of the open source cloud market today. From 2012 to 2014, OpenStack was the industry's leader and the only key open source cloud project to keep growing. By contrast, the second and third Cloudstack and eucalyptus share have declined in varying degrees. In the market landscape of open-source cloud computing infrastructure, Cloudstack has fallen from a 2012 share of 18% to 14%, while Eucalyptus has shrunk sharply from 9% to 3%.

In enterprises that choose Open Source Cloud, the gap is greater: more than 86% of companies focus on OpenStack, while the second-cloudstack is far behind, with only 44%. Opennebula and Eucalyptus tied third, only 19.7%. Such data also confirms the findings of the survey: Cloudstack is losing territory, and the future of eucalyptus has become elusive because of its recent acquisition by HP.

As for the deployment of the cloud, the Zenoss survey shows that 44% of users use only private clouds, and 45% of users use a hybrid cloud that combines private and public clouds, while only 11% of users use the public cloud.

There are aspects of the barriers to using open source cloud technology, and the user's feedback is as follows:

Security: 42%

Lack of in-house expertise: 39%

Missing support: 36%

Maturity: 28%

More inclined to a single vendor: 18%

There are also many reasons to be inclined to open source cloud computing, with flexibility (71%) being the most important, followed by avoiding vendor lock-in (66%), lower cost (66%), open standards and API (60%), and these four are the most important reasons.

The implementation of the open source cloud, basically achieved satisfactory results. 42% means "very satisfied", 35% "basic Satisfaction". On the other hand, 18% said "not satisfied" and only 3% said "very dissatisfied". This article is edited by "Www.zrnkyy.com"
