Enterprises are being subjected to a massive shift in the IT industry that poses a fundamental economic threat in two ways. First, companies will lose the ability to control costs. Second, CIOs face the ultimate threat of vendor “lock-in.” We're talking about the shift to Public Cloud, and the dominance of the hyperscalers.

Hyperscale public cloud providers are offering significant additional value above virtualization with software platforms and services that focus on data analytics, AI and advanced ML. The pace of innovation of public cloud hyperscalers has positioned them to branch into on-premise cloud deployments, both private and hybrid cloud, such as Microsoft’s Azure Stack, IBM Cloud Private Stack, Amazon’s Outpost and Google’s Anthos. Are we destined for another small set of tech giants to forge a new generation of high-priced incumbents that lock CIOs around the globe into using their systems?

The fact is that there are no compelling open source private cloud solutions available, and the standards organizations are not focused and are too slow. Academic researchers are not creating technologies that will give enterprises options. What about enterprises themselves? Are any finding ways to keep pace with hyperscalers solution stacks? Or will a tipping point occur when enterprises in unison cry foul, opening up the door to a new set of high tech companies to enter the market with an alternative?

In this Town Hall Meeting, the ONUG Board invited leading CEOs, CTOs and GMs from the vendor and cloud community to engage in an industry discussion on the future of interoperable clouds.

Moderated by Greg Ferro, Packet Pushers
