 It's kind of like the line at the grocery store, the express line, 15 items only. So next up we have another video, this is from Red Hat. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Chris Wright. I just have to say I love seeing open source and community collaboration having that kind of an impact on the industry. I'm Chris Wright, Chief Technologist at Red Hat. And looking at OpenStack and this journey that's not even six years old, we've gone from just an initial nascent technology project to something that's having significant impact on the industry. Two years ago, the Foundation's gathering data from the OpenStack user survey. Two years ago, the respondents said a third of them were putting their OpenStack deployments into production. Fast forward two years to today and we see 65% of the respondents putting their OpenStack deployments into production. Two X improvement in two years. That steady growth is showing OpenStack maturing to production. So here's a little logo eye candy just showing you a small cross-section of our customers who are deploying OpenStack in production today. We're serving hundreds of customers who are putting their deployments into production and what I find most compelling about this collection of examples and our customers is the diverse set of not just companies but industry verticals and specific use cases that they're attacking with OpenStack. It's this diversity that's showing not just kind of the test and dev and non-production workloads that we saw earlier in the adoption phase of OpenStack, but these companies are taking OpenStack to production and solving real business critical problems, putting this infrastructure to use improving their businesses. So let's take a look at one of those, FICO. You may be familiar with FICO, hopefully you got the loan, I don't know my, the credit score company is usually what springs to mind for me when I think of FICO. But FICO is a business analytics company providing software that helps companies make intelligent decisions. For years they've been taking their products to their customers as an on-premise solution, making it accessible really to larger organizations, trying to solve problems about risk, fighting fraud and generally making better business decisions. In order for them to bring this same technology or these same solutions to a broader market, they adopted an as-a-service model and moved their products to being available as a service. And in that transition they've made their software available to SMBs and mid-market organizations using a cloud built together with Red Hat on OpenStack and Ceph. And with that cloud infrastructure, FICO has been able to improve the speed at which they can introduce their analytics solutions, reducing the time to market for them by 50%. In addition to that, this new infrastructure has saved them 30% in cost. On top of this infrastructure they've added a Paz system built on OpenShift and with that Paz system they are enabling their customers to build analytics solutions and deploy them rapidly, reducing their customers time to value by 70%. So this is goodness, right? This is faster, cheaper revenue from new markets. Betfair is one of the largest industries online betting systems as well as the largest betting exchange system. Betfair has recently introduced a cloud to their environment as part of the ITU program enabling their applications or they're trying to enable continuous delivery for their applications including hundreds of microservices. These applications are being built and delivered on top of OpenStack and impacting millions of users a day. So that's us. That's this community right here collaborating delivering real value to users and I guess entertainment, not for investment purposes, entertainment for the world at large. NFV is a fundamental transformation of the network. This is sort of a once in a decade type of opportunity for the industry to retool itself around new technologies. Verizon has started on this process of retooling their infrastructure just about nine months ago where they went from early conception to a rollout of OpenStack cloud deployments across five U.S. data centers and intention to continue to grow. We work together with our partners Dell and Big Switch to build a new next generation network fabric that is simple, high bandwidth, secure, flexible and allowing them to build out their network services and functionality. I'd like to invite Chris Evans on stage with me to tell us a little more about what Verizon is doing with OpenStack. So I gave the thumbnail sketch but what are you really doing? What are you doing at Verizon with OpenStack? Yeah, what we're really doing is laying the foundation for the next generation of Verizon's network. Based on open-source software, commodity-based hardware on top of that, we're automating everything, we're virtualizing all our applications and software defining the network around that with the ultimate goal of making our network 100% programmable so we can drive down cost, increase operational efficiency and really drive time to market. So you're fundamentally changing your business. That's it. So that's what I hear. Yeah. Now why OpenStack? OpenStack and open-source. Well, as I said, one of our foundational concepts here was we wanted open-source to drive innovation, to drive competition, to achieve the goals of the program at large. OpenStack has the maturity today to deploy and satisfy the needs of our infrastructure today and seeing the size of the community here, it has the gravity and the mass and the momentum to really get to where we need it to be to enable the functions of the future. Awesome. Thank you, Chris. Thank you. So all of these production deployments started with upstream development activities, whether it's triple O heat templates or core IPv6 functionality added to OpenStack. This is work that starts upstream. Red Hat as a vendor represents our customers and we work with our partners to define use cases. We bring those to the community in the form of blueprints and code. As community members, we work with our community peers to merge this functionality into the code base and to evolve it and improve it and ultimately deliver this downstream value to customers to make real-world impact on business. If you step back for a moment and look at the few examples that I showed, one thing that strikes me is that diversity that I mentioned earlier, and it's diversity that really matters here in a couple of different dimensions. Again, it's industry verticals, it's use cases. It's helping us sort of grow and stretch what OpenStack is capable of. And it's that pressure on OpenStack that actually gives it the longevity that we're expecting to see with this community that we're building together. The ability to add new functionality requires architectural shifts so that you can ingest these changes and maintain them long-term. Of course, diversity is not just about the code and functionality and use cases, but it's also about the actual community itself. So embracing a diverse set of community members across gender, race, sexuality, age, et cetera, this is really critical to the long-term sustainability of the community itself. This community is made up of individual human beings like you and me. We're building direct individual trust relationships with one another. And it's those relationships. It's that fabric that builds this community and is what will make it strong and make it sustain itself into the future as we're exploring new ways to define what a cloud is. So what is OpenStack? OpenStack today is something that's maturing into a wide variety of production environments. It's a large number of individual projects. It's a huge community collaborating around those projects, defining what is next generation cloud and infrastructure. OpenStack is, the community is always evolving its definition. So we've gone from core to integrated. We've got Defcore. We've got BigTent. We've got TC Badging. All of these efforts to help define what is OpenStack. We have a great opportunity here to work together as a community. Through our collective experience, defining just exactly what OpenStack is through things like triple O heat templates or playbooks or more generally the deployment patterns that we see today and we know today that is OpenStack. OpenStack in the future, OpenStack in the future is whatever we can expand into. It's the communities that we can attract, the users, the developers. It's the external parts of our industry that we're collaborating with. I was just recently at the collaboration summit and it was hard to miss the number of industry peers that are looking to collaborate with us, whether it's OPNFV, bringing us NFV use cases and code, or whether it's a cloud native computing foundation, looking at the world through the eyes of the modern application developer. These are communities that are looking to collaborate with us, help us define what is OpenStack. OpenStack is next generation cloud infrastructure and it's a place for the industry to collaborate. Thank you very much. Thank you, Chris.
