My new somewhat monthly column in the channel section of The Register is up. It goes over 451’s recent OpenStack market-sizing and relates some anecdotes about how common it is to get outside help with private cloud installs. You know, of interest to people who’d be reading up on channel stuff.
One of the co-authors of the 451 report also has a nice summary up, available for free. The folks at Piston pointed out that you could misread one of the mentions of them saying that their customers require PS work. In fact, they say, about 95% of their installs required no professional services work.
Hey, biz bods: OpenStack will be worth $3.3bn by 2018 (Register Column)
