The Open Infrastructure Foundation announced on the 14th that it had conducted a technical tour in Korea with Okestro to present a technology strategy for the post-VMware era.
This technical tour took place over two days from the 9th to the 10th and shared global migration cases and transition strategies centered around Contrabass with CIOs from major industries, including Korea's top financial sector. Contrabass is a server virtualization solution based on OpenStack developed by Okestro, featuring independent technology with AI workload optimization capabilities.
Okestro is the only Korean corporation among the eight global platinum members of the Open Infrastructure Foundation, continuing to make practical contributions to the global OpenStack ecosystem through education, certification, and technology internalization. During this technical tour, real transition cases utilizing Contrabass in public, financial, and manufacturing sectors were introduced, along with successful migration cases from major overseas financial institutions such as France and Vietnam.
The Open Infrastructure Foundation introduced Contrabass as a strategic technology for next-generation AI and cloud infrastructure, noting its strengths in AI-specialized design, such as GPU scheduling and multi-node learning.
Kendall Nelson, senior upstream development director of the Open Infrastructure Foundation, said, "Okestro's technological leadership is rare even globally," adding, "We will create more global success cases together."
Kim Beom-jae, CEO of Okestro, stated, "This technical tour was a meaningful occasion to validate alternatives to VMware in actual customer environments together with the global community," and added, "We will contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of Korea's software ecosystem as the transition to AI and cloud infrastructure accelerates."
