About This Presentation
How did open source software change the future of cloud computing?
How is this new trend of “everywhere computing” driving massive architectural changes, not only to infrastructure…but to software design?
How can companies evolve with the changes & embrace these new opportunities?
Chris Kemp (founder of Nebula & former CTO of NASA) shared his story & perspectives at our Compute Midwest conference in 2013.
With over $2 billion (over 10%) of the entire organizational budget spent on buying & operating IT gear every year, he recognized an opportunity for innovation.
Learn how he helped to drive the creation of what would eventually become OpenStack…and how open source changed the future of cloud computing.
