Case Study: VEXXHOST achieves faster cloud innovation and service delivery with OpenStack

Sydney Superuser Award Nominee: VEXXHOST

VEXXHOST is a leading Canadian public, private, and hybrid cloud provider that runs its infrastructure on 100% vanilla OpenStack. The company needed a way to avoid vendor lock-in, improve infrastructure flexibility, and speed up delivery of new customer services while focusing on innovation instead of platform maintenance.

OpenStack helped VEXXHOST streamline operations and add new managed services, including launching Kubernetes services with Magnum on the Pike release and supporting big data solutions through Sahara integration. As a result, VEXXHOST accelerated innovation, delivered higher-performance services, and even saw a reported OpenStack bug fixed in under 24 hours in trunk and under 48 hours in stable branches, boosting confidence in the platform.
