{}-->Hello, This is a wide distribution. I hesitate to spam, but I do want
to introduce Accelerite to the Apache CloudStack community – who we are, how we
do things, and what is our thinking on CloudStack. If you missed the
announcement about Accelerite acquiring CloudPlatform from Citrix, you can find
it here. My name is Samir Agarwal, and I manage products at Accelerite. Our
company strives to be a preferred, premier provider of IT solutions to
companies around the globe. The company has three key business lines – Mobility
and endpoint management, IoT, and Cloud Solutions. This last business line is
where our acquisition of CloudPlatform fits, and complements our already
existing self-service and disaster recovery & business continuity solutions.
In addition to building products from scratch, Accelerite regularly acquires
assets from other companies – much like CloudPlatform from Citrix. Almost
always the first thing we do is bring a strong focus on support to make sure
our customers’ needs are being met. In parallel we look to significantly
increase our investments in R&D. We want to make sure our existing and future
customers see our commitment to the product, and an exciting roadmap to go with
it. This is exactly what we are planning to do with CloudPlatform as well.
So, what does all of this mean for CloudStack? I can tell you that our
commitment to CloudStack is rock solid. You should fully expect to see us
contributing to the CloudStack code base, and owning even more items on the
roadmap. We will be in meetups and CloudStack events to further promote the
cause of CloudStack and CloudPlatform. To say we are thrilled about the
possibilities doesn’t do justice to our level of excitement. My colleague,
Lianghwa Jou, and I met Ilya H, John K and Animesh C – all members of the
CloudStack PMC - the other day over lunch. We learned a great deal from them,
and left with a resolve to further engage with the community, and explore how
we can make meaningful contributions. We are firmly of the belief that the
success of CloudPlatform lies in the success of CloudStack. Put more plainly,
without CloudStack, there is no CloudPlatform! We look forward to an
exciting relationship with the CloudStack community. Samir
