14 DAY TRIAL // Internap, a provider of IT Infrastructure services, has just announced the world's first commercially available public cloud compute service based on the OpenStack open source platform.
The OpenStack platform offers a set of standardized APIs that permit customers to utilize the cloud without worrying about being locked in to a single provider.
"Enterprises moving to the cloud want the ability to select services that meet their specific control, security and cost requirements rather than a 'one size fits all' option," said Paul Carmody, senior vice president of product management and business development at Internap Network Services Corporation.
As we all know, OpenStack is a collaboration of developers and cloud computing technologies producing the open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds customized network configurations, through VMWare's vCloud Director portal.
