From InfoWorld: Looking to fuel enterprise adoption of the cloud, Intel is playing a lead role in a $100 million investment in an emerging player in the OpenStack arena.
Intel announced today it was leading a $100 million funding round for a collaboration with Mirantis Inc., a Mountain View, Calif.-based cloud computing company, to boost its work in enterprise OpenStack distribution and adoption.
"We hear a lot about OpenStack being ready for the enterprise, and in many cases OpenStack has provided incredible value to clouds running in enterprise data centers today," wrote Jonathan Donaldson, a vice president at Intel in a blog post. "However, when talking to the IT managers who have led these deployment efforts, a few key topics arise: it's too complex, its features don't easily support traditional enterprise applications, and it took some time to optimize for deployment."
Intel is hoping that a $100 million investment will help Mirantis finetune OpenStack to better meet enterprise needs.
