OpenStack bronze for Fujitsu

Fujitsu wants to become one of the top three contributors to OpenStack.

The company's keen on the open source cloud because it thinks it's an important tool when big business tries to “digitise” processes and applications so they can compete with whichever startup is trying to eat their lunch. The company's using CloudFoundry and OpenStack, plus a bunch of middleware and methodologies derived from past engagements, to realise that aim. It's even created a brand titled “MetaArc” for all this stuff.

MetaArc's been used in Japan for a while but was yesterday officially loosed on the United Kingdom and Australia. ®
