OpSource announced that the company is a Silver Sponsor of OSCON 2010, O’Reilly’s Open Source Convention, to be held July 19-23, 2010, in Portland, Oregon. OpSource will be giving demonstrations of the OpSource Cloud, a cloud service for companies requiring enterprise-class performance as well as high security and control, in booth # 109. Clearly, this is helping move OpSource closer to the cloud than ever before.  This should be a great opportunity to see their new cloud servers in action.

“OpSource has a long, rich history with the open source community, and we are excited to continue supporting open source development in the cloud,” said Treb Ryan, CEO, OpSource. “Many of our partners, such as DreamFace and WaveMaker, have built powerful open source solutions for the OpSource Cloud. We look forward to seeing what will come next.”

OSCON 2010 brings together developers, designers, system administrators, IT managers and CxOs to explore open source technologies, including Linux, MySQL, the LAMP stack, Perl, Python, Ruby on Rails and cloud computing.
