At VMworld 2014, VMware announced VMware Integrated OpenStack, a solution that will enable IT organizations to quickly and cost-effectively provide developers with open, cloud-style APIs to access VMware infrastructure.
The VMware Integrated OpenStack distribution will leverage VMware’s proven software-defined data center technologies for compute, network, storage and management to provide enterprise-class infrastructure that reduces capital expense (CAPEX), Operational Expense (OPEX) and total cost of ownership for production-grade OpenStack deployments.

News Facts:
- The software-defined data center is the ideal architecture for building and operating a private, hybrid or public cloud.
- VMware provides the best-in-class infrastructure for building a software-defined data center with OpenStack.
- VMware will deliver an OpenStack distribution optimized for VMware virtualization solutions that leverages all of VMware’s software-defined data center components—compute, networking, storage and management—not just the hypervisor, for building enterprise-class OpenStack clouds.
- VMware will package, test and support all components of the distribution, including the open source OpenStack code.
- VMware is running a qualified beta program for VMware Integrated OpenStack. Interested customers can fill out the sign up page here. VMware Integrated OpenStack is scheduled for general availability in the first half of 2015.
