The Open Cloud

As Canadians we spend a lot of time on corporate governance and compliance processes and we have found a partner in OpenStack that gives us the ability to incorporate our unique governance needs in a platform that delivers true Innovation. In partnering with OpenStack, we have joined a proactive community of thought leaders and a thriving, global community of contributors who are continually growing and evolving the project with new technologies and functionality. OpenStack gives us flexibility and choice, two core values important to us and our customers. Within the OpenStack architecture, we can build in the language our customers want, with the tools they need. Plus, it’s interoperable, so you can build a flexible environment to meet your needs.

The AURO cloud has several advantages:

• No vendor lock-in — Standards-based APIs are portable across OpenStack-based public, private, and managed clouds, so you can easily move your workloads.
• Supports hybrid cloud architecture — Deploy applications jointly in your private and public cloud to support compliance, security, public access, cost optimization, time-to-market, etc. Federated public/private deployments are enabled by open cloud architecture.
• Accelerated time-to-market and innovation — benefit from a community of over 180 companies contributing to the platform, you can expect faster improvements and a wider breadth of capabilities than a smaller cloud community or proprietary cloud vendor could provide.
• Ecosystem of cloud solutions — by adopting the largest open cloud architecture, AURO is integrating a broad ecosystem of partners that provide enhanced storage, platform, orchestration, security solutions, and end-user applications.
• Ease of integration — Open, web-based REST APIs simplify deployment and management of your workload.
