NTT Com and NTT Resonant are also leveraging OpenStack for the introduction of distributed storage and integrated management of networking equipment, bare-metal servers and virtual servers.

NTT Com will apply know-how gained through these initiatives in Next-Generation Cloud Platform of it’s Enterprise Cloud now under development. By so doing, the company expects to realize more flexible and secure on-premises cloud systems for enterprise users by means of SDN-connected hosted private (e.g., bare metal) and multi-tenant environments. It will also leverage OpenStack to manage multi-tenant environments. In addition, NTT Com will provide OpenStack APIs to establish an ecosystem in which various third-party products are connected together.

OpenStack is open-source software for comprehensively managing infrastructure as a service (IaaS). The OpenStack Foundation holds both the OpenStack Summit and OpenStack Design Summit twice annually to enable users, developers and operators worldwide to learn about new trends in cloud computing systems. About 6,000 people participated in the last OpenStack Summit, which was held in Vancouver in May.
