For enterprises looking to unify their private and public cloud workloads under a single open API that avoids vendor lock-in, OpenStack Omni really is the best choice.
2. Hybrid cloud usage is increasing – and so are the complexities
As hybrid clouds become more
common...
Cloud infrastructure
management gets more complex
Enterprises can get locked into
certain vendors
Management costs rise
13%
Usage is at 71%, according to the
2017 State of the Cloud report
3. VMWare + AWS offer a pathway to hybrid cloud…but there
are significant challenges
VMW promises a single pane
of glass to manage on-premise
and AWS workloads, but there
are drawbacks...
x Ecosystem lock-in
x Limited deployment flexibility
(enterprise has to upgrade to
specific versions of vCenter)
x Very high fees that requires a
minimum number of nodes to be
always running
4. OpenStack offers Enterprises an open-source lower cost
pathway for realizing on-premise clouds
OpenStack cannot be used to
manage workloads on public
cloud ==> separate management
capabilities required between on-
premise and off-premise
Open source community
No vendor lock-in
Nonproprietary, standardized
open API
Easier to use with Platform9
Managed OpenStack
But....
5. Platform9’s OpenStack Omni offers one management
system for on-premise and public clouds
• Open source alternative to
VMWare + AWS
• Supports AWS, Azure, and
Google Cloud
• Enables broad application of
OpenStack APIs to public clouds
• Omni drivers plug into OpenStack
components such as Neutron,
Nova and Cinder
• Enables discovery of AWS VMs
and display by OpenStack Horizon
• Integrates AWS-based VMs, EBS
volumes, networks, etc.
Neutron Networking
Nova Compute
Cinder Storage

6. Omni extends Platform9’s governing vision to hybrid
cloud deployments
Adding Omni to Platform9’s Managed
OpenStack enables...
• Efficient operations
• Unified single pane management of
separate computing resources
• Reduction in operational complexity
on-premise
• Clean & separate scaling of compute
& control-pane physical infrastructure
... all at low cost, with open source
standard APIs, and no vendor lock-in
Enable hosting of open cloud
control panes in the cloud itself
7. Omni ‘s open API approach presents an alternative to
existing CMPs
Hybrid clouds don’t necessarily need
public and private regions to run a
deeply harmonized, common
software stack.
Operational harmony under a single,
broadly accepted API may work well
for some use cases.
Current cloud management platforms
create new and sometimes privately
controlled API, which means...
x Another learning curve for
administrators
x Refresh of all the tooling ecosystem
that enables cloud usage
8. Enterprises can now finally use OpenStack for
managing on-premise and public cloud workloads
Get one dashboard including
unified multi-tenancy and public
cloud quota management
Get a single API which abstracts out
underlying cloud provider details
Consume the right cloud platform for
business needs
Leverage tooling and automation
investments in the OpenStack
ecosystem
Use the same workflows to deploy to
public and private clouds
