Piston is now updating its OpenStack solution in a 2.0 release that aims improve and ease the management of cloud deployments.
“We are still the better, faster, easier way to get up and running with OpenStack,” Piston Founder, Joshua McKenty told Datamation.
McKenty’s vision for an enterprise OpenStack company has been greeted by an influx of $12.5 million in venture capital. Among Piston’s investors is networking giant Cisco Systems.
