I'm Singaram Subramanian, and I work with CSC India as a Software Developer. My blog is an attempt to share my learnings with all (mainly, for those who desperately mine google finding ways to solve problems, fix issues, learn about a Java/Open source software, or deciding on tough choices etc. during software development as I do). Singaram is a DZone MVB and is not an employee of DZone and has posted 18 posts at DZone. You can read more from them at their website. View Full User Profile

OpenStack

OpenStack is a collection of open source software projects that enterprises/service providers can use to setup and run their cloud compute and storage infrastructure. Rackspace and NASA are the key initial contributors to the stack. Rackspace contributed their “Cloud Files” platform (code) to power the Object Storage part of the OpenStack, while NASA contributed their “Nebula” platform (code) to power the Compute part.

OpenStack Components
