Hello,

I do not know if you can help me, but if this is not the case, I
apologize in advance.

my name is Khalid abbou, Moroccan, I am currently in 3rd yearengineering
student at the National Institute of Posts andTelecommunications (INPT), and
 as part of my final project thatstudies on Cloud computing in a telecom
operator like to know ifvs can help choose m already a practical application
(preferable todirecting telecom) in the cloud, for example Azur
   I remain at your disposal for further information and please
acceptthe assurances
of my highest consideration.

Salam.

I've spent some time in Morocco, and I love the country.

I don't have experience in the telecom industry, but the projects in Openstack 
are applicable to solving many types of problems. As a swift (openstack object 
storage) developer, I'll limit my comments to that. Swift can be used to store 
vast amounts of data. If a telecom has a large amount of data, swift can be 
used on top of commodity hardware to reliably store it. Swift's two biggest use 
cases are backups and web content. Backups are generally large, 
write-once-read-never data, while web content is generally small 
write-many-read-very-many data. I suspect that most large companies have a need 
for both types of content, even if only used internally.

Practical applications depends very much on your specific needs: do you need 
something at the infrastructure level (like openstack), or are you looking for 
something that's more of a platform (like Google AppEngine)? If 
infrastructure-level projects do meet your needs, then there is a good chance 
that something in openstack could be used for your project. Are you looking for 
something to build on top of existing cloud technologies or something to 
contribute to existing projects?

To get involved, read the mailing lists and join the IRC channel (#openstack on 
freenode).
