OpenStack open source as a legend in the world of IT, from birth to now only eight years, has become second only to veteran open source Linux is the second largest community, but also wind and water in Chinese cloud computing, brought together a large number of IT vendors, corporate users and developers, many of whom are veterans of the famous IT industry veteran, as well as a public venture company, brings together more than forces together form a "new China forces" OpenStack open source field. I simply chose the most representative of seven manufacturers from a number of participants, and called it the world's seven OpenStack cloud:
Space is limited herein, this selected Huawei cloud, Xinhua three (H3Cloud), UnitedStack Clouds (acquired Tsinghua Tongfang, changed its name to the same Fangyou Yun) three cloud.
◆◆ first flower: Huawei cloud ◆◆Huawei as an IT market leader, its market position since Needless to say, its technology products better attitude, in OpenStack also reflected most vividly, to get involved in OpenStack starting in 2012, has invested more than 600 R & D personnel involved in OpenStack-related open source projects the development of a comprehensive contribution to OpenStack community Ocata the latest version of the top-ranked vendors in China, and become the only Asian member of Platinum OpenStack community.
As early main hardware, while a late start in the field of cloud computing vendors, until 2017, before announcing the formal establishment of cloud BU, fully involved in the cloud computing market, although since the inquiry has been commenced in the cloud, but its underlying system still apply open source OpenStack, but with the community version farther and farther.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that, although the importance of Huawei R & D investment, but not blind investment, which pursue open innovation, that innovation on the basis of "used" on. Ren also said that Huawei is inclined to pursue entrepreneurship and innovation incentives in product and marketing system, but the "innovation is not the overthrow of former management, doing its own thing, but on the basis of comprehensive succession on the continuous optimization. Engage in new product development is not necessarily innovation, continuous improvement is not necessarily on the old product innovation, perhaps precisely Huawei deeply involved in the OpenStack open source community dialectical logic of it.
◆◆ second flower: Xinhua three (H3Cloud) ◆◆In terms of OpenStack, Xinhua three similar Huawei, can be considered "halfway decent" are only recently begun to tilt toward the center of gravity of IT products OpenStack years, while confidence in the firm, invested great effort, the outcome is also more significant, has become the OpenStack Foundation gold member Council. Also has a relatively complete solution based on OpenStack, and in many industries where users of the deployment.
At the same time, Xinhua three experienced a series of mergers and acquisitions and integration of comprehensive strength greatly increased. Only in 2016, the domestic cloud nine important central level, are invariably adopted the Xinhua OpenStack three solutions, including China Railway Group Limited and China Sinotrans Limited. While similar success stories, Xinhua three in the country has more than 200, and 2.0 have been proposed cloud computing strategy, "KVM + OpenStack + container" development path.
◆◆ third duo: UnitedStack goes ◆◆From about 2012 onwards, OpenStack start-ups rise in China, the first being the familiar start-ups is probably UnitedStack goes, it is the first to offer hosted private cloud (Managed Private Cloud) cloud service companies in the Chinese market, but also cloud China the first to provide exactly the same computing cloud public cloud and private cloud hosting regional nodes highly reliable cloud services company, in May 2015 became the first interoperability certification by OpenStack Foundation of China cloud computing service providers. And in terms of its rapid growth, largely has a great relationship with the following aspects: First, with the closely related OpenStack Foundation to assist community has done a lot of promotion, the second is a good product, but also made some boilerplate customers, so OpenStack in China's initial stage, UnitedStack goes really was a benchmark. It was founded just three years, it had been completed three rounds of financing by the Sequoia Capital lead investor, and completed M & A and Tsinghua Tongfang in 2017.

Regardless three or Tsinghua Tongfang, the same features three hardware vendors Huawei, or Xinhua that can provide end to end IT solutions, and OpenStack is located where it can better leverage, such as their hardware sales and service overall capacity, making OpenStack can get more extensive and rapid deployment and implementation of industry users. From the OpenStack market cultivation, the angle of view of large-scale applications, adding hardware vendors have played a very active role. In addition, they have OpenStack solution although only three vendors of a product line, but to some extent it is their power of enterprise cloud core technology and an important tool.
