Oracle joins companies such as Avaya, Brocade, EMC, F5 Networks, Fujitsu and Western Digital as a corporate sponsor of the OpenStack Foundation.
This is the third level of sponsorship, and is basically about providing the Foundation with additional funding.

They include Cisco, Dell, Hitachi, Huawei, Intel, NEC, NetApp and VMware.
At the top of the tree are the eight platinum members - AT&T, Canonical, HP, IBM, Nebula, Rackspace, Red Hat, and SUSE.
Platinum members provide a significant portion of the Foundation's funding, align their company strategies with OpenStack, commit full-time resources to the project, and have a seat on the Foundation's board of directors.
