Intel helped create the Open Data Center Alliance, a coalition of more than 70 major companies that together represent more than $ 50 billion annual investment in IT and have research projects on clouds underway. The Alliance Steering Committee includes BMW, China Life, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan Chase, Lockheed Martin, Marriott International Inc., National Australia Bank, Shell, UBS and Terremark.
The alliance will define the future requirements of hardware and software that will result in more open and interoperable solutions for data centers and clouds. Intel performs only an advisory role for the alliance, whose initial involvement was purposely focused on companies targeting the end user, rather than technology providers.
This alliance will work with their hardware and software partners, encouraging the industry to innovate on open standards, accelerating the arrival of the next stage of the Internet and creating a cloud open, interoperable and secure for the next generation of companies, movies, games, music, social media, web and other services not yet invented.
Intel Cloud Builders provide a path for technological vision Cloud 2015. Intel has announced a significant expansion of this program that brings together key partners in systems and software solutions to provide proven recipes for creating clouds and a practical guide on how to implement, maintain and optimize a cloud infrastructure.
While the Alliance will determine the requirements for the infrastructure of the cloud, the program Intel Cloud Builders will help meet these requirements with solutions. The program now has a total of 20 reference architectures with many more in sight.
