A coalition of technology companies has come together in just nine months to deliver an open source software stack to enable cloud computing. At the OpenStack Conference and Design Summit going on this week in Santa Clara, Calif., participants in this open source community provided details on two interrelated open source projects, OpenStack Compute for developing a cloud-based server environment, and OpenStack Object Storage for cloud-based storage. Project organizers said open source software will allow businesses to use the same cloud platform in their own environment or with an external cloud service provider.
