My team has a new report up on Mirantis, with updates on their momentum and an overview of what’s in their 4.0 OpenStack distro release.
Here’s the 451 take, our brief opinion on the news:
Mirantis reported more bookings in the last quarter of 2013 than all of 2012 – its growth by revenue, employees and overall business highlights the company as a leader among OpenStack pure-play vendors. Mirantis seems well positioned for an evolving OpenStack ecosystem and market, but the transition from services and support, which has been its specialty, to product subscription models may be challenging. Mirantis must maintain its contribution and profile as many others try to capitalize on making OpenStack enterprise- and production-ready. Its enterprise-grade support expertise and expanded effort in OpenStack training should help Mirantis do this.
