Cloud Expo Silicon Valley $500 Savings here!

How are companies making money on OpenStack today, and where are the best opportunities for new companies to get engaged and serve the growing user base?

The OpenStack community and commercial ecosystem are not mutually exclusive. To build a successful OpenStack company or product line, you need to invest in the community and to build influence organically. In return, a strong commercial ecosystem means more paid developers and better software, and a competitive market that keeps users seeking OpenStack products.

In his session at the 11th International Cloud Expo, Mark Collier, COO of the OpenStack Foundation, will analyze the current ecosystem, including the products and services available today and success stories from participating companies. Attendees will walk away with an understanding of how to get involved in OpenStack or how to increase their level of involvement for greater returns.
