- | ====== Mission ====== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | OpenNebula.org is an open-source project delivering a **simple but feature-rich and flexible solution** to build and manage enterprise clouds and virtualized data centers. | + | |
- | ====== Vision ====== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Enterprise cloud computing is the next step in the evolution of data center virtualization**. OpenNebula combines existing virtualization technologies with advanced features for multi-tenancy, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Because no two data centers are the same, we do not think there' | + | |
- | + | ||
- | In contrast to other open-source management tools that only provide a special-purpose implementation of popular cloud interfaces on pre-defined environments, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | ====== Objectives ====== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The OpenNebula.org project pursues the following objectives in order to **lead innovation in enterprise-class cloud data center management**: | + | |
- | * Develop the most-advanced, | + | |
- | * Provide cloud builders and integrators with a modular system that can implement a variety of cloud architectures and can interface with any datacenter service | + | |
- | * Provide cloud developers and users with choice of cloud and system interfaces, from open cloud to de-facto standards, to support the creation of a rich ecosystem of higher level components | + | |
- | * Assure the stability and quality of the software distribution | + | |
- | * Collaborate with the most demanding users of cloud and data center management tools | + | |
- | * Spread awareness of the Project | + | |
- | * Support the ecosystem of open-source components being created around the Project | + | |
- | * Support the community of users and developers contributing to the Project | + | |
- | * Collaborate with other open-source projects and communities | + | |
- | * Collaborate with the main research projects in cloud computing innovation | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ====== Core Values ====== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The core values of the OpenNebula.org project are: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * **Openness** of the processes and the technology | + | |
- | * **Excellence** for being a project of the highest quality in every aspect of its operations | + | |
- | * **Cooperation** with open-source efforts and research projects to advance cloud computing | + | |
- | * **Innovation** in new technologies and methods to address needs of large-scale cloud deployments | + | |

- | OpenNebula was first established as a research project back in **2005** by Ignacio M. Llorente and Rubén S. Montero. Since its first public release of software in March **2008**, it has evolved through open-source releases and now operates as an open source project. OpenNebula is the result of many years of research and development in efficient and scalable management of virtual machines on large-scale distributed infrastructures in close collaboration with our user community and the main cloud computing players. Many of its innovative features have been developed to address the requirements of business use cases from leading companies across multiple industries in the context of [[about: | + | |
