Seeks customizable cloud and less lock-in
Tad Van Fleet, a distinguished architect at GEICO, said"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.
Whatever GEICO’s reasons for its move, it joins other high-profile orgs that have backed away from VMware: we’ve previously reported on moves by. Those decisions were motivated, in part, by the licensing changes Broadcom brought to VMware. It’s unclear if GEICO decided to move for the same reason. GEICO is one of legendary investor Warren Buffett's most successful ventures. Buffett is immensely wealthy but a famously modest spender, and generally likes companies he invests in to keep a very close eye on costs.
