Citrix Cloud Infrastructure and Networking
Products To Support Leading OpenStack Distributions
Today, Citrix announced that it has become a Corporate Sponsor
of the OpenStack Foundation. By joining the foundation’s community
of contributors, Citrix demonstrates its continued commitment
towards driving interoperability among standards-based cloud
platforms and meeting the increasing demand for choice and
flexibility in private, public and hybrid cloud solutions.
NetScaler™ and XenServer™ solutions from Citrix are used as core
infrastructure for some of the largest cloud infrastructure
providers in the world, and this announcement brings the power of
these products to customers choosing to build their clouds on
OpenStack.
As a leading provider of applications, mobility, networking and
cloud services, Citrix has a long history in helping to define
standards across the industry and accelerate broad adoption of open
source cloud projects. In the early days of the OpenStack project,
Citrix actively contributed to the OpenStack codebase and
community. As a Corporate Sponsor, Citrix will engage in a broad
set of technology and architecture activities and will integrate
Citrix cloud infrastructure and networking solutions with leading
OpenStack distributions.
Citrix continues to support other industry standardization and
open-source initiatives including the Apache Software Foundation
and Linux Foundation and will continue to invest in cloud
infrastructure platforms including Apache CloudStack and
CloudPlatform.
The OpenStack Foundation serves more than 22,000 individual
members from 155 countries around the world and supports
developers, users and the entire ecosystem by providing a set of
shared resources to grow the footprint of public and private
clouds. Citrix is joined in today’s announcement by a number of
technology partners and vendors who share a common goal of
collaboration, innovation and standardization under a proven
framework and foundation.
