Open Source clouds:

Be the change you want to see

What is OSAT

A framework in which the benefits of the open source methodology are applied to technology which is of social importance

SLIDE 3

What is Appropriate Technologies?

Any technology which has a positive environmental impact or improves living standards

SLIDE 4

Software developed during the 1960s and

1970s created in academic / corporate laboratories by scientists and engineers

ARPANET, built in 1969, linked hundreds
f universities, defense contractors and

research laboratories

Enabled mass sharing and collaboration

among users

OSAT Philosophy Dates Back to the 1960s

“Hacker culture” emerged from labs

“freely give and exchange software they had

written, to modify and build upon each

ther’s software both individually and

collaboratively, and to freely give out their modifications in turn”.

Open Source defect rates are 50x to 150x lower than proprietary software1 Proprietary = time extensive and expensive Open Source = building on existing code - quicker to market and cheaper Open source benefits a fast moving and rapidly growing industry!

Today open source is widely used among major internet companies

Creating differentiation

1. Wired, 2004

WHY?

SLIDE 6

What is desirable to users What is possible with technology What is viable is the marketplace

INNOVATION

Differentiation through innovation

Because fewer funds are needed to research technology, a focus on customer needs and market trends can be increased.

How OSAT improves the community

Shared technology - prevents the wheel from being reinvented

SLIDE 8

How OSAT improves the community

SLIDE 9

Cloud as a platform for OSAT

Greater Distribution of knowledge and ideas

SLIDE 10

Ideas and blueprints crafted and collaborated in the cloud Shared in global online communities Everyone with access to the internet gains access to vital, life improving technology

Ideas and designs crafted and collaborated on in an OSAT cloud

SLIDE 11

The UN have said that there is a direct link between access to information technology and development1

1Annan, 2000

The importance of accessing knowledge through IT

SLIDE 12

What is hindering the cloud enabled OSAT movement?

INTERNET ACCESS!

Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), 2013

Cloud computing as a means to provide much needed infrastructure

Quick and affordable way to tap into IT

infrastructure1

Level the playing field, as it breaks down

barriers to entry2

Third-world cloud computing providers using cloud to enable IT services in countries that

would have traditionally lacked the resources for widespread deployment of IT services3

Cloud among the most significant disruptive technologies over the next two decades

SLIDE 14

Future of the cloud is distributed

Bridges the gap between proprietary and open standards Built on CloudStack

QStack™

Every major component

f QStack™ has roots in
pen source

SLIDE 28

We were able to use our own resources to define and maintain the focus of our development thanks to open source

SLIDE 29

Strengthening the compatibility of

pen source by testing it against

proprietary requirements. Creditability through contribution

The backbone of open source is collaboration and contribution

SLIDE 30

QStack = sustainability enabled by default Deployment agnostic = it can scale with the business Private can become hybrid, hybrid can become public Burstability can allow for environmental sustainability
