Where You Can Find Platform9 at the OpenStack Summit
We are only a week away from the next OpenStack Summit and I am happy to report that Platform9 will have our biggest presence yet at any Summit. This is a testament not only to our growth as a company but our growing commitment to the OpenStack community. We would love to engage with you in Tokyo or remotely. Here is a list of venues where you will be able to find us:
Platform9 Booth – We will have a booth at the expo hall where members of the community can come and speak with our engineers and watch demos of our solution. Besides some cool swag, also come by booth T74 for some great conversation about OpenStack and what’s new in Cloud technologies.
Superuser TV – This is a new initiative by the OpenStack Foundation which will be kicked off in Tokyo. The Foundation will be conducting interviews and discussions with members of the OpenStack community and streaming them over the web. These videos will cover a host of relevant topics and yours truly has the privilege of helping to plan Superuser TV and to be one of the interviewers. Stayed tuned to watch and hear some great conversations.
Technical Breakout Sessions – Tokyo will also be the first Summit in which Platform9 will have speaking sessions. Join us as we partner with various members of the OpenStack community to discuss some wide-ranging but timely topics. Platform9 sessions include the following:
Title: Is OpenStack’s Future Still In The Cloud?
Description: OpenStack is more and more the darling of the Enterprise world. Over the past few years that’s changed the development priorities of the community.

In this free-flowing discussion 3 very experienced stackers will discuss the future of OpenStack and what it means for deployers and users.

Title: Making OpenStack Work In An Existing Environment – Challenges And Solutions
Description: One of the biggest barriers for enterprises interested in deploying OpenStack today is the inability to leverage existing assets – including infrastructure, workloads and their inter-relationships. However, OpenStack can be taught to learn – and leverage – existing enterprise infrastructure, and incorporate it seamlessly into a live private cloud. This enables users to get up and running with a fully functional private cloud, already plumbed with their existing assets. In this talk, we will describe how we, at Platform9, moved our existing dev-test workloads, and infrastructure to an OpenStack-based private cloud, running on vSphere, using a set of such changes for Nova, as well as Glance
Speakers: Amrish Kapoor (Platform9), Kenneth Hui (Platform9), Pushkar Acharya (Platform9)
Time: Wednesday, October 28th, 11:15 AM

Title: Getting Started With OpenStack
Description: OpenStack continues to grow exponentially as the de facto standard for open source Cloud platforms. But how can someone quickly get started with learning this exciting new technology? This workshop will walk participants through an overview of the OpenStack components and offer practical suggestions and resources for learning OpenStack. To demonstrate one way to get started, we will assist workshop attendees to set up a multi-node OpenStack cloud, on their laptops, using the RDO distribution.
Speakers: Dan Radez (Red Hat), Kenneth Hui (Platform9)
Time: Wednesday, October 28th, 4:40 PM
