December 6, 2022 – You know the brand. But you may not know Jeff Bezos started Amazon from his garage in Bellevue, Washington, on July 5, 1994. With the addition of Amazon, OIN has won commitments from most of the global cloud market not to assert patents related to core Open Source or Linux technologies. IAM interviews Keith Bergelt, CEO of OIN. “That’s a boost for innovation. Amazon was the missing Lego block that allows us to ensure the bulk of the cloud provision business and world is not part of our community. OIN now has consolidated some 96% of the United States cloud business, including Google, IBM, Meta, and Microsoft, along with the major players globally, such as Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, Huawei, and Fujitsu.” (Subscription Required)
