Whether you’re here to code, network, or learn, the Hackathon promises a vibrant atmosphere of experimentation and collaboration. Let’s build the future of cloud computing together!
In this keynote, John White, Chief Operating Officer at US Signal will address:
- The Why: The fundamental reasons driving the shift towards open source and its disruptive potential.
- Future State: Projections and possibilities for what the technological landscape might look like with widespread open-source adoption.
- Limiting Factors: Challenges and obstacles that could impede this transformation including compute processing limitations, government regulations, power constraints, AI oversight, vendor disruptions, and public cloud failures.
- Gotchas: Unforeseen pitfalls and considerations businesses must be aware of.
Join us as we chart a course towards a future where open source is the driving force in the technological revolution. Together, we will unlock new opportunities, mitigate risks, and help shape a more innovative, efficient, and inclusive digital world.
In this talk, we will explore the cutting-edge enhancements introduced in version 4.20, including new integrations, performance improvements, and security updates.
Through comprehensive performance benchmarking and user testing, this study evaluates CloudStack’s competitiveness within the hypervisor ecosystem, particularly focusing on performance per dollar. For organizations managing virtualized workloads, “performance” is not just a technical requirement but an economic imperative.
In response to these industry shifts, US Signal initiated a research and development project aimed at exploring alternative virtualization solutions to the dominant Broadcom option. The goal for us all is to ensure predictability in both pricing and performance for our users which we will explore in this conversation.
Join Daven Winans, VP of Engineering at US Signal, as he uncovers insights and strategies that can empower you to make more informed decisions about your virtualization infrastructure. Don’t miss this opportunity to see how CloudStack measures up against other hypervisors and how it can elevate your cloud operations.
Even before Broadcom massively increased prices in early 2024, trends in application consumption have indicated a shift in customer needs. Indeed, AWS and Azure have mastered consumption models, reach, scalability, and service integration – and their revenues prove it. Still, many organizations lack the sophistication to refactor their app stacks, or their businesses are committed to certain fixed core enterprise applications like ERP, MES, or EHR. That does not, however, mean that they are not open to a new way of doing things.
In response, US Signal has brought to market a new single and multi-tenant IaaS platform called OpenCloud based on Apache CloudStack. While this product was originally developed as a rebuttal to VMware, we’ve found CloudStack to enable true cloud like consumption, rather than virtualization as a service like most other Private Cloud providers offer today. Why not blend the best of Private Cloud solutions (locality, service, control) with the best of the Public Cloud providers (self-service consumption, flexible contracts, limitless reach)?
This session will focus on US Signals’ customer-centered approach to building OpenCloud, as well as what we see as opportunities for the CloudStack project on the horizon in terms of supporting enterprise workloads.
