>”By providing an open platform that integrates a broad set of public and private cloud technologies, OpenStack is now positioned to be much more than just a private cloud platform — rather, the “Rosetta Stone” of enterprise computing.” — Chris Kemp in [InformationWeek](http://www.informationweek.com/cloud/software-as-a-service/openstack-can-be-rosetta-stone-of-cloud/a/d-id/1316052?_mc=RSS_IWK_EDT)

>”In Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), all the major IT players such as IBM, HP, Rackspace, VMWare and Red Hat are centering on OpenStack, so if a vendor says it will support OpenStack, it means the service will have long term support. This is exactly the kind of assurance that financial services companies are looking for.” — [Banking Technology](http://www.bankingtech.com/248232/open-source-middleware-is-everywhere-in-financial-services/)
