　　OpenStack被视作云计算领域的Linux，其推动开放源代码服务的努力得到了众多公司的支持。

    简单地说，OpenStack就是为某个云设施解决方案而相互联系的一系列运算项目。这些项目由来自全球各地的研发人员共同完成，而云计算供应商为公共或 私人云客户端提供开源的云计算平台。OpenStack的目标是使云计算模式化，大幅提高云计算的可扩展性并简化其应用的复杂性。

    OpenStack由Rackspace公司和美国国家航空航天局（NASA）于一年前合作开发。研究人员在NASA的Ames研究中心开发了 OpenStack的雏形，被称作Nova，其目的是为美国的航空航天机构提供可塑性较高的云客户端。之后Rackspace涉足了该技术商业化的进程， 并最终使其成为一款独立的基础软件。

    那么，一年过去了，OpenStack现状如何呢？市场认为许多现有的领先的公共云计算解决方案针对性更强。因此，对开源云计算产品的受到了抑制，尽管现在也有一些类似的产品比如Eucalyptus的开源版本。

    因此，OpenStack在此领域有着较强的动力。自研发伊始，就有超过100个机构参与了代码库的建设，或在其它方面参与该项目。Dell和 Hewlett-Packard都在此行列之中，他们使用OpenStack作为平台开发商业领域的云产品。最近，Rackspace发布了基于 OpenStack的私人云端产品以及架构框架。

    有时候，某些产品缺乏具有操作性价值的证据，但依然会流行开来。OpenStack从一开始就在这一点上尝到了甜头。OpenStack为企业提供免费的 代码，从而做到了供需相应。就算OpenStack存在某些缺陷也无伤大雅，因为毕竟它是一个开源的项目。你的投资会为你带来需要的服务。此外，因为它是 一个开源项目，你可以对它进行技术上的改进，如果你愿意的话。伴随着云计算铺天盖地的宣传攻势，OpenStack的发展已经成为不可阻挡的趋势。

    那么，应不应该把OpenStack作为你的云计算解决方案呢？仅仅靠OpenStack是不够的。和许多开源项目一样，你需要有精明的软件供应商或云服 务供应商，才能在OpenStack的平台上开发有价值的产品。好消息是，许多供应商已经开始将OpenStack作为他们开发产品的基础软件，大多数产 品都运行良好。

Seen as the cloud's Linux, the open source cloud infrastructure effort has picked up support from a lot of big companies.

OpenStack, simply put, is a series of interrelated projects delivering components for a cloud infrastructure solution. The projects are worked on by a global collaboration of developers and cloud computing providers supporting an open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds, and the objectives are cookie-cutter cloud computing, including massive scalability and ease of use.

The OpenStack effort was launched by Rackspace and NASA a year ago. Researchers at the NASA Ames Research Center first developed the base components of OpenStack, called Nova, to provide the U.S. space and aeronautical agency with a highly scalable private cloud. Rackspace then got involved to promote the technology commercially and later spun it out into an independent foundation.

What's the deal with OpenStack after a year? The market considers many of the existing leading public cloud computing solutions as closed and proprietary. Thus, there's a pent-up demand for an open source product, even though a few already existed -- the open source version of Eucalyptus, for example.

As such, OpenStack has momentum on its side. Since the launch, more than 100 organizations have contributed to the code base or participated in the project in some way. This includes Dell and Hewlett-Packard, who are building commercial cloud products using OpenStack as a base. More recently,Rackspace has released a private cloud product based on OpenStack, as well as an architectural framework.

Sometimes, things pick up buzz without proof of operational value, and OpenStack enjoyed that early on. There was a base of free code that companies could build upon; thus, supply meets demand. Any limitations to OpenStack are forgiven because, well, it's open source. You get what you pay for. Moreover, if you want to improve the technology, it's an open source project, so have at it. Add in the hype behind cloud computing, and it becomes unstoppable.

So should you consider OpenStack as your cloud computing solution? Not on its own. Like many open source projects, it takes a savvy software vendor, or perhaps cloud provider, to create a workable product based on OpenStack. The good news is that many providers are indeed using OpenStack as a foundation for their products, and most of those are working, or will work, just fine.
