Nothing says big like Walmart. It has around $480 billion in annual revenue, more than 2 million employees, and more than 11,000 retail locations worldwide (including Sam’s Club and Walmart International venues). Walmart.com claims more than 140 million weekly visitors. So scale was clearly an issue from the get-go.What @WalmartLabs loved about OpenStack was that it could be molded and modified to fit its specifications, without vendor lock-in."
