Topline Observations
We believe that this broad collaboration between Dell and Red Hat is transformative to enterprise IT private cloud deployments. RHEL OpenStack Platform has a good chance to be perceived as the “most standard” version of OpenStack, potentially providing Dell advantages with enterprise IT clients favoring more open implementations.Table of Contents
