Rackspace OpenStack Reviews

We deploy layer three managed services, and our customers manage layer two services. We combine the two-layer services and deliver them to our customers.

The open-source nature of OpenStack provides significant value. It allows for three-word cloud management, maintaining a stable customer environment, and offers additional services like migration and optimization. OpenStack excels in guiding customers with transitioning from traditional setups to modern cloud environments.

The overall infrastructure-as-a-service platform has reduced customers' reliance on public clouds. It provides a private and consistent logging center, which is critical for some data types.

The product can enhance the physical capacity for delivering 15 computers. It can be extended to 150. The product has enabled virtualization wherein people can have their OpEx go down.

We developed a website using Rackspace OpenStack. We then had to figure out how to configure it using Jenkins, so we had to write the shell scripts. And the whole purpose of it was to show that we could update the website to the live website on the server and show that we could push updated staff from the Git repository.

I like its integration with GitLab and its simplicity. OpenStack has a lot of third-party libraries that it uses.

There are a lot of things you can do depending on what you want to, you know, handle, whether it's your pipeline or whether it's some third-party libraries that you use in your application to make sure that they're all taken well on your live site, the kind of configuration you can do from within OpenStack and Jenkins is very extensive.

My clients use it for the virtual platform and to utilize existing hardware or infrastructure. They want to migrate current workloads, specifically test and development, to OpenStack, not production.

We have certain projects where we adapt to the bank, MDM, and other companies.

It's pretty good. One thing is that you can use any infrastructure for OpenStack. That's not a challenge. 

It helps give customers the same functionality as costly solutions like VMware or IBM. 

And thirdly, it's easy to manage for day-to-day functionality. Administrators are very comfortable with the functionality and services OpenStack offers.

Rackspace OpenStack is more suitable for enterprises that are looking for private cloud solutions and who are thinking of offloading some of their auxiliary workloads from the public cloud and saving money. Rackspace OpenStack can fit in that use case where enterprises are thinking of a hybrid model of the cloud. We are a product and solutions company that builds a private cloud infrastructure based on Rackspace OpenStack for our customers. We are not a system integrator. We provide the product and solutions on top of Rackspace OpenStack.

The first benefit of Rackspace OpenStack is that it can be a direct alternative to VMware for implementations. VMware is expensive, but Rackspace OpenStack can save companies money in comparison. Additionally, Rackspace OpenStack is scalable, making it a good choice for companies with growing needs. The Rackspace OpenStack community is large and has been around for 10-plus years. This maturity means that there are many companies that can provide support for enterprises switching to Rackspace OpenStack solutions. Additionally, Rackspace OpenStack is free, except for the cost of support. This makes it a more affordable option than VMware.

OpenStack is a cloud provider with several vendors, which have all been used.

Apart from the main features, I really appreciate OpenStack's microservices architecture and its flexibility for deployment with different tools. Scaling up and down is easy, and the support for authentication, policies, encryption, and other features is commendable.       

I primarily use it for personal use inside an enterprise. I use it to deploy a private cloud. 

The enterprise that I work with already uses OpenStack. They demanded I learn it and I was able to find classes online to get started. In general, OpenStack is more useful in the public, in the world, instead of other tools that are used to implement private clouds.

The initial setup isn't too difficult. 

It's scalable. 

The stability is excellent. 

You do not have to pay anything to use it. 

Our primary use case for the OpenStack is for migrating data from the cloud to on-premises. We want to migrate some of the open source OpenStack components to customize our work with our applications. Our main use is video streaming on Openstack.

The most valuable feature is the customization. With the customization you can really give the customers what they want.
