Rightscale Join OpenStack Support Rackspace Open Cloud

Rightscale, a company that provides unified access to multiple cloud platforms, today announced its formal support for the OpenStack project and announced that it will support clients to deploy to the OpenStack cloud of Rackspace.

This initiative represents the further development of the OpenStack project.

Michael Crandell, Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/32086.html chief executive of Rightscale Inc., said: " The interest of enterprises in OpenStack is increasing. He says Rackspace's open source cloud is closely aligned with the OpenStack backbone code, minimizing proprietary extensions.

Rightscale is already a platform for integrating a wide variety of public and private clouds, including AWS, Windows Azure, Google Compute Engine, DataPipe, HP, Logicworks, SoftLayer, and Tata. In the private cloud, Rightscale can be used to manage workloads on the OpenStack, Cloudstac, and eucalyptus platforms, all of which are open source.

Rightscale previously supported Rackspace's traditional cloud computing services, but this summer Rackspace launched a new OpenStack-powered cloud that plans to drive most of its resources in the future.

In addition to supporting Rackspace's openstack work, Rightscale has officially boarded the OpenStack Project as a corporate sponsor of the OpenStack project.

Rightscale's cloud management platform integrates multiple clouds and allows users to view all cloud deployments from a single dashboard, which has launched 4.7 million servers since its inception in 2006.
