Case Study: City Network achieves global cloud expansion and regulatory compliance with OpenStack

Sydney Superuser Award Nominee: City Network

City Network needed a scalable, open cloud platform to support its global expansion while meeting strict data protection and regulatory requirements. By focusing on OpenStack and its open APIs, the company aimed to avoid vendor lock-in for customers and deliver public IaaS services across multiple regions and industries, including regulated sectors like finance and healthcare.

OpenStack helped City Network build a public cloud spanning eight regions across three continents, with interconnected data centers and more than 2,000 users running over 10,000 production cores. City Network also extended the platform with custom APIs and features like multi-site networking and volume mobility; as a result, OpenStack enabled measurable business growth, broader geographic reach, and compliant cloud offerings for regulated customers.
