Collaboration to extend OpenStack: HP and Objectif Libre team up to improve OpenStack

Track: When Open Source Fosters Open Innovation

ObjectifLibre, an HP partner wanted to propose an entry level solution for RFQs using OpenStack and entry levelservers, storage and network equipment. However, HP didn't had support for Cinder for this entry level storage system.

But this is OPen Source, isn't it ? So ObjectifLibre decided to contribute to OpenStack by bringing that support based on what was available for high-end 3PAR storage systems.

This presentation will explain that collaboration between a french SME and the largest IT corporation, how OWF was key in the first meeting between partners, what setup was put in place to solve the issue encountered, the results obtained and the future steps that are now considered.
