ATLANTA, Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/-- Internap
Corporation (NASDAQ: INAP), a provider of high-performance Internet
infrastructure services, today announced a collaboration with the
OpenStack Foundation (OSF) as an Infrastructure Donor for the
community. Internap will provide cloud resources to the OpenStack
Foundation (OSF) to support the automated testing of OpenStack
projects. Internap is also participating at the OpenStack Summit,
taking place October 25 - 28 in
Barcelona, where top game
developer CrowdStar will deliver a keynote about its shift to a
containerized environment using Internap's OpenStack-based
bare-metal cloud. Internap will also present details about the next
phase of its OpenStack expansion for bare-metal cloud
services.
The OpenStack Infrastructure Team will utilize Internap's
OpenStack-based cloud services for testing, automation and
continuous integration. The OpenStack Infrastructure Team tests
each commit twice before it lands in the codebase, which translates
to 2,000 tests per hour and more than two million tests during the
Newton six-month development cycle. Internap's contribution
provides critical infrastructure at scale to execute these tests
and advance software stability and reliability. Internap is one of
only four public clouds utilized by the OpenStack Foundation as an
"Infrastructure Donor" as a result of its contribution of
significant levels of reliable, interoperable cloud resources to
the community.
Internap's long-standing OpenStack commitment, since 2010,
marked a major milestone with the launch of its OpenStack-based
Agile 2.0 bare-metal cloud platform in October 2015. This platform combines the
dedicated processing power of bare-metal servers with the agility
of the cloud – along with significant hardware, networking and
management advancements – enabling companies to achieve peak
application performance and on-demand scalability. In recent
months, Agile has expanded the worldwide availability of its Agile
cloud services, covering Dallas,
Texas; Santa Clara,
California; Secaucus, New
Jersey; and Amsterdam and
Singapore. Built with OpenStack's
upstream code, Internap provides enterprises and DevOps teams
access to the latest OpenStack features while also delivering high
performance and scale.
"Internap has a long history of supporting OpenStack, and we are
excited to now contribute directly to the OpenStack Foundation by
delivering OpenStack-based public cloud at scale," said
Satish Hemachandran, senior vice
president and general manager, cloud and hosting,
Internap. "Our launch and expansion of OpenStack-based
bare-metal cloud services along with our key contributions to
existing projects like Almanach, Ironic and Horizon, as well as
Internap open-source projects like Netman and PrivateStack,
demonstrates our continued commitment to increasing and
accelerating open-source cloud adoption."
"Internap has been an important contributor to the OpenStack
community since the earliest days of the project," said
Jonathan Bryce, executive director
of the OpenStack Foundation. "Their most recent contribution as an
Infrastructure Donor is critical to our Infrastructure Team's work
in making sure that each release of OpenStack is tested and ready.
The community is grateful to contributors like Internap, who go the
extra mile to help all of us create and deliver an exceptional
product to all OpenStack users."
