Who Is Using OpenNebula?

The OpenNebula Project publishes a list of featured users

Apr. 16, 2011 12:00 PM

There are more than 100 downloads of OpenNebula per day from its download site, and there have been more than 50,000 downloads since the project released its first version in March 2008. Additionally, the code can be also downloaded from its software repository and from the several commercial and open-source distributions embedding this leading technology for cloud management.

Some weeks ago the OpenNebula project started an initiative to create a list of organizations using OpenNebula. This ended up being more difficult than they expected given that many of their main users in the private industry, which are running very large scale infrastructures with thousands of nodes or even with datacenter federation, did not allow the project to include their names on the list. The reason behind this is that cloud computing is a strategy move for most of these companies.

In spite of this, the project has finally created a nice list of featured users from different industries that include Hosting Providers, Telecom Operators, IT Service Providers, Banking, Government,Professional Services, Supercomputing Centers and Research Centers. The list is not complete, the project is still trying to confirm some information.
