Mirantis Co-Founder Will Address OpenStack APAC Conference


(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Mountain View, Calif. (PRWEB) August 08, 2012 Mirantis co-founder Boris Renski will speak at the OpenStack APAC conference August 11 in Beijing.

He will speak on How to Make Money on OpenStack. The conference will bring together developers to discuss ways to promote and deploy OpenStack in enterprises and industries.

Renski is co-founder and executive vice president of Mirantis. He is also one of the organizers of the Bay Area’s OpenStack user group, with meetings in Silicon Valley, and a frequent speaker and blogger on issues related to OpenStack.

“After OpenStack was announced in the summer of 2010, the degree of momentum behind this new open source platform has been nothing short of spectacular. Startups and enterprises alike have placed their strategic bets to monetize the OpenStack wave in various ways,” explained Renski.



As an ecosystem insider and one of the founding sponsors of the OpenStack Foundation, Renski will offer his views on how various organizations in the OpenStack ecosystem are trying to monetize it today.
