OpenStack, a cloud-computing project, aims to provide the "ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds." Predominantly acting as an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platform, it is free and open-source software released under the terms of the Apache License. The project is managed by the OpenStack Foundation, a non-profit corporate entity established in September 2012 to promote OpenStack software and its community. More than 200 companies joined the project, including Arista Networks, AT&T, AMD, Brocade Communications Systems, Canonical, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Ericsson, F5 Networks, Groupe Bull, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Inktank, Intel, NEC, NetApp, Nexenta, Rackspace Hosting, Red Hat, SUSE Linux, VMware, Oracle and Yahoo!
