OpenStack
Vad är OpenStack ?
Öppen utveckling av öppna metoder (API) för infrastruktur hantering
Öppet alternativ till proprietära Cloud lösningar
Supportade av de flesta hårdvarutillverkarna
IBM har över 250 personer som jobbar med Openstack
Bara RedHat har leverat mer funktionallitet än IBM

Var är den nya AIX releasen!!!!
• POWER8 är redan supportad! – Skönt eller hur?
• POWER8 har compability modes för många TL’s
• Optimization för POWER8 – har redan hänt och finns delvis där i tidigare TL’s
Ergo
• Inget behov av att migrera/uppgradera för att få nytta av POWER8
• Full exploit av POWER8 med AIX 7.1 TL3 SP3 kommer inom kort
