Unlike most companies which tend to focus on very limited technological options, we believe in the opportunities given by interaction between heterogeneous systems. Our involvement in the OpenStack community and the development of the Hyper-V compute driver are a natural result of our experience on multiple environment, ranging from Microsoft infrastructures to Linux and FreeBSD. We believe that a
very large number of companies will benefit by opening OpenStack to the Windows world. This is something that applies to hypervisors, guests operating systems, protocol interoperability, identity management, relational and non relational data and so on. We are also involved in developing tools to bridge OpenStack with Windows Azure, easing the transition from private to public cloud, a task that until now required complicated and error prone solutions. Cloudbase Solutions is entirely self-funded with offices in Italy, Romania and soon in the United States.
