Cloud computing workloads are increasingly sophisticated and specialized. End users continue to recognize the value of choice of their computing infrastructure (i.e. being able to select the 'right tool for the job' in their data centers). Why is computational architectural diversity important? How do you work with a relatively new community on enabling choice? Is it possible to do so in a manner that is viewed as a "win-win" for everyone? Please join us for an overview of how IBM is working with the OpenStack Community to expand the choices available to our customers which enables them to optimize their workloads, while at the same time helping to advance the cause of open cloud computing
