US insurer GEICO drops VMware for OpenStack
Briefly

OpenStack allows us to avoid vendor lock-in and allows us to customize our infrastructure to meet our specific needs. We can integrate various open source tools and platforms, which is something we couldn't do with VMware. Additionally, OpenStack's community-driven development model means we can contribute back and benefit from innovations made by others.
Whoever gets that gig will be pivotal in transitioning objectives into operational realities, contributing significantly to the organization's growth and success in the private cloud space.
GEICO's migration started with right-sizing our environment to eliminate over-provisioned resources. This allowed us to reduce the number of physical servers and streamline our infrastructure.
The Register learned of the insurer's plans in a draft white paper published by the Open Infrastructure Foundation that advises on the feasibility of VMware-to-OpenStack migrations.
