Rethink Your Cloud Strategy

Cut Through the Chaos, Regain Control

The enterprise infrastructure landscape is shifting fast. Proprietary platforms are driving up cost and complexity — and IT leaders are left with fewer good options. With recent changes to VMware’s pricing and partner model, organizations are under pressure to rethink what their cloud strategy should look like next.

In this session, we explore how opensource cloud technologies are emerging as a smarter, more sustainable alternative for enterprise workloads. Drawing from real-world experience building a production-grade open-source cloud at scale, US Signal’s David Humes and Taylor Greiner share how OpenCloud puts IT teams back in control — without vendor lock-in or runaway costs.

What You’ll Learn

You’ll walk away with practical insights on:

• The evolving economics of virtualization and cloud infrastructure
• How to evaluate opensource vs. proprietary platforms
• The power of community-driven innovation and support
• Why Apache CloudStack is a strong fit for enterprise-grade infrastructure
• Emerging use cases — from hybrid IT to AI and burstable cloud capacity
