Organizations are moving towards cloud technologies for scalability, cost reduction, and new service offerings. Tackling all security and compliance issues that come up in this environment seems daunting due to varied proprietary cloud technologies in the market. Openstack cloud technologies developed as a global collaboration effort across several service providers and developers benefit the consumers with open standards and quick adoption addressing security compliance better. A potent combination of factors, including the growth of IT, widespread media attention, and even geopolitical tensions, have spurred governments to push for more legal requirements, stricter regulations, and increased enforcement. Business data must be archived in accordance with very strict regulatory rules, and data is often required to be stored in unalterable form for the life of the product and beyond.

This session brings real life examples of the customers that are using open stack cloud technology to their advantage where IBM has been instrumental in providing a compliant cloud using private cloud based on OpenStack. This compliant cloud provides integrated document management, quality management, training management , Incident Problem & Change Management and automated testing tools. Come and learn how this is creating an excitement in the market that was struggling with its stringent demands and expensive support infrastructure.-Prabhakar Attaluri-IBM Corporation; Vinod Chavan-IBM Corporation
