Cisco ONE Webcast Series: An Introduction to OpenStack

There is tremendous momentum behind OpenStack, especially in the context of cloud-based deployments. Cisco is an active member of the OpenStack community, and has contributed to several initiatives across network and compute, including the Quantum project. Cisco is committed to bringing OpenStack capabilities to the Nexus and Unified Computing System (UCS) portfolios as part of Cisco’s Open Network Environment (Cisco One).

Lew Tucker, VP/CTO for Cloud Computing at Cisco and vice chairman of the OpenStack Foundation, will provide an overview of OpenStack and discuss the evolutionary path that customers can expect from Cisco. Raj Patel, Cisco VP of Cloud Services, will discuss the strategic decision — and results to date — of choosing OpenStack as the cloud platform for WebEx, the market-leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) conferencing solution.

Join us for this educational briefing to find out the latest news about OpenStack.
