Being a traditional hosting company, Phoenix NAP has always been working to offer the latest and greatest in cloud services and the hosting space.
Their fully S3-compatible storage solution offer, combined with their bare-metal and on-premise cloud solutions, are a fine choice for anyone not willing to give in to the “giants”, like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
PhoenixNAP has valuable partnerships with large tech companies, such as Cisco, Intel, and VMware.
Openstack’s founders, Rackspace and NASA, have created this platform with (public) cloud in mind.
Openstack is completely opensource and freely availalble under the Apache License. Meaning, you’re free to spin up your own cloud using their software. Openstack’s storage solution (Swift) is pluggable to be s3 compatible.
Openstack has many providers offering up their hardware on the openstack IaaS layer. To name a few: Canonical’s Ubuntu Bootstack and TATA’s managed infra services
Openstack’s pluggability is where its true power lies. Its sourcecode is written in Python and actively maintained. They have many performance and security enhancements, as well as plugins ready to be installed.
