The two acquisitions that were announced this week were noteworthy, with Cisco buying piston cloud computing, the same time IBM's acquisition of the Blue Box group, aimed at solving the pain in the construction of the private cloud platform, allowing it to build an enterprise private cloud better and faster.

Management capabilities are an important differentiator for public, private and hybrid clouds, and as CIOs in charge of large IT systems decide to shift from a traditional application-building paradigm to an important consideration for online public cloud models.

Over the past few years, OpenStack has become the preferred choice for traditional it vendor to build private cloud platforms, including IBM and Cisco. However, the software continues to evolve rapidly in terms of maturity and better management capabilities and tools. Cisco and IBM acquisitions are part of the power of suppliers to accelerate the development of OpenStack.

Blue Box drives its hosted private cloud with OpenStack, avoiding configuration headaches and simplifying operations. Enterprises do not need to set it up, Bluebox such a professional company to deal with the headache of the configuration, choice or management of hardware and other work. At the same time, the company said that its flexible and extensible platform was supported by the majority of the population because it was backed by a large community.

"For IBM's Bluebox acquisition will help in the company's cloud strategy to be overweight. Bluebox's technology will become the internal core of IBM's cloud organization, "Jesse Proudman, the Blue Box founder and CTO, explains behind IBM's acquisition in the blog.

At the same time, Cisco's acquisition of the piston, has developed the Cloudos, can be clustered commercial servers as a single pool of resources. The software provides the ability to quickly deploy OpenStack, and it is expected to take advantage of automation to liberate it from time-consuming management tasks. The FAQ on the Piston website says: On average, when managing more than 50 nodes, using Cloudos to manage the cost of OpenStack's private cloud environment will be less than one-third of the amount required to do the same job as Amazon Web services.

Cisco declined to comment on how it used Cloudos specific plans. But it emphasizes that piston's technology will eventually improve the infrastructure based on OpenStack's private cloud infrastructure.

Both IBM and Cisco acquisitions have helped to spur the enterprise to implement OpenStack on a larger scale. There are also those who pour cold water on it, because not everyone believes that the market's demand for OpenStack will quickly pick up quickly. For example, when Vendor Nebula closed in April, he said: "We are deeply disappointed that the market may take another year to mature".

Finally, let's wait and see, the stock market is very interesting words, markets are usually on the sidelines and the hesitation of rising.
