Hybrid Cloud Cost and Capacity Management with Talligent Openbook

Hello everyone - we are happy to welcome Austin-based Talligent as our co-sponsor and lead speaker for our Dec. Meetup. Note the date shift to early Dec. We don't want to get in the way of all those holiday parties going on later in the month!

With the advent of multi-cloud initiatives in the enterprise, the complexity of managing an OpenStack private cloud with one or more public clouds has grown in recent years. Businesses are challenged with “cloud sprawl” – not knowing size and growth of their multi-cloud initiative, and, if not managed well, the spend on public cloud could soar. In our session we will learn how to efficiently manage the OpenStack environment with Openbook, while supporting the cost and capacity requirements of public clouds Amazon’s AWS and Google’s GCP.

The session will be lead by Sanjay Mishra, Founder and CTO of Talligent, the leading provider of cost and capacity management solutions for OpenStack and hybrid clouds. Day to day, his activities include setting company strategy, working on Openbook deployments, creating a customer driven roadmap, and writing code. Prior to Talligent, Sanjay was involved in a wide variety of IT infrastructure startups and roles, including co-founding a venture-backed network monitoring company and engineering and consulting roles at Tivoli and IBM.
