iWeb Dominates OpenStack Contributions in Canada

Leading cloud service provider ranks among Top 30 OpenStack contributors

MONTREAL, Jan. 15, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - iWeb, Canada's leading cloud service provider, today announced that it has been ranked Canada's No. 1 contributor in the OpenStack® Havana™ release, and ranks No. 28 in the world only five months after becoming a corporate sponsor of the OpenStack Foundation.

"From a provider's perspective, OpenStack is the future of cloud infrastructure - and I am referring to both public and private clouds," said Cyrille Mertes, CTO of iWeb. "This is just the beginning of iWeb's progress within the OpenStack community."

To date, the OpenStack community includes more than 13,500 people across 132 countries. Founded in 2010 with the support of 25 companies and a few dozen developers, OpenStack now powers some of the most widely-used SaaS applications and cloud-based eCommerce sites.

"This is a seminal time for cloud infrastructure, and OpenStack is quickly becoming the 'Linux of the cloud,'" said Christian Primeau, President and COO of iWeb. "Who wouldn't want to jump at the chance to take an active role shaping tomorrow's cloud technologies? The open community philosophy and the rapid pace of innovation are key benefits of both OpenStack and iWeb and, as such, allow us to provide a broader range of managed cloud solutions to our clients. It's a win-win combination."
