I wrote up a long post wondering about the efficacy of deploying an openstack solution that combines so many features into one box (the network (quantum?) and controller)... and then I read further down into the article that the price per unit is expected to be $100,000??
I question exactly who in this space is going to pay that kind of fee when you can get a distributed solution from a company like Piston for a much lower cost (also, you're distributing more in a case like this).
The ability to have everything in one plug-and-play device is quite tempting but also runs kind of counter to the general OpenStack environment in many ways.
- keypusher 14y agoIn the market I think they are aiming at, $100,000 is quite reasonable or even cheap if it can deliver a plug and play private cloud that can scale out to 5 PB.
- druiid 14y agoThinking about it on the other hand I suppose that is indeed true. I'm with a couple other posters on the other threat though and wondering how they plan to have this truly HA.
