What is Metacloud and why did Cisco buy it?
In one of the biggest acquisitions in the OpenStack community, Cisco has announced its intentions to acquire Metacloud, a three year old company that helps organizations build OpenStack clouds.Analysts say the move is about Cisco providing choice to customers. Cisco has a hardware platform for building private clouds, most notably its Unified Computing System (UCS) line of servers. Through a long-standing partnership with VMware, customers can use that company's software to build private clouds. Now, with the addition of Metacloud, customers will be able to more easily than ever build an open source-based OpenStack private cloud on top of UCS gear. "This gives Cisco another cog in its InterCloud wheel," says Al Sadowksi, who tracks the IaaS market for the 451 Research Group.
