LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM --(Marketwired - May 20, 2015) - Rackspace® (NYSE: RAX), the #1 managed cloud company, today announced an extension of its contributor agreement with CERN openlab to continue working on creating a reference architecture and operational model for federated cloud services. The successful relationship has already seen Rackspace and CERN develop identity authentication over multiple OpenStack clouds, with the next iteration of the project being to extend this concept to developing standardised templates for OpenStack cloud orchestration. This work is expected to enable customers to spin up an environment across multiple cloud platforms with a single action.

The MTN Nigeria Foundation (MTNF) has joined Oracle to work together in the cloud and in the data centre, to give ICT training to selected MTNF scholars, The Punch reported. There will be a bursary funded by Oracle for one student to attend the CERN openlab Summer School in Switzerland, and there are plans to train up to 2,000 MTNF scholars in database design and SQL and Java programming skills.

19/05/2015 Two Big Steps Towards OpenStack Interoperability

wo big steps towards OpenStack interoperability were made at The OpenStack Summit in Vancouver this week. The first is introduction of vendor certification, built on work by the DefCore committee in defining the core of OpenStack. The second is OpenStack Identity Federation is now supported by over 30 cloud vendors. ID Federation provides an identity management framework across OpenStack clouds, and leads to easier multi- and hybrid cloud scenarios.
