I was happy this morning to receive RightScale’s State of the Cloud 2015 report in my email inbox. It shows 
definitely that Enterprises are voting for, choosing and going to OpenStack for their IaaS…MORE THAN VMware’s vCloud Suite! Amazing stats, and I’ll cover that in more detail in my next blog. This week I have a favor to ask…
WE NEED YOUR HELP! Juniper and our customers need your vote for ourOpenStack conference session proposalsin order to get them accepted. The OpenStack summit is running in Vancouver this year… my home town! Catch me if you can in Vancouver, tell me you voted for us, and I’ll buy you a beer or Starbucks…actually make that Café Artigiano or JJ Bean if you really want great Vancouver coffee (and if you’re not going, please help our vote anyway).
HOW TO VOTE:

VOTE FOR THESE 7 SESSIONS
We’re blessed with 7 submissions… our customers love us, right! Besides our usual summit presence with Juniper and supporting OpenContrail’s booth, here are 7 great sessions in which we’re participating with partners and customers. A couple we have directly submitted related to OpenStack, Contrail Cloud Platform and Contrail Networking as open SDN for your cloud data center based on OpenContrail.

Please GO AHEAD – don’t wait – we have just a few days’ time. Encourage your colleagues and friends to vote because you wouldn’t believe how a 2 minutes of voting gets us sessions and goes a long way to boosting our share of voice in the OpenStack community which is HUGE WIN for us as THE customer choice in open SDN for cloud. Here’s to our success and thank you in advance!
PS. Please also help by sharing this with your social network!
