This client comes from our friends large switching networks.
as a member of the Big Switch team last year, I am incredibly happy that today we are announcing the general availability of the Open Software-Defined network architecture, including Big network controller, Big Virtual Switch, Big Tap. During the past year, we looked mature NRS from a new, "maybe a little-days" technology to a real must for anyone looking to deploy a truly flexible, scalable cloud datacenter.
at the same time, we've tried to keep a rather low profile, but have been busy behind the scenes. as best I can tell, we do a few things very differently than everyone in the ecosystem and NRS, while our choices not just released our nights and weekends, we expect that they will create a lot of value for our customers Let me highlight some key differences.
- Rather than considering RPS as particular point solution, we actually separate architecture in a platform (ie Big network controller.) and applications. virtualization of the network (Big Virtual Switch) is one of the applications that we started with and is a great addition to a CloudStack deployment but Big Switch and its ecosystem partners have a number of other solutions in the pipeline as well.
- open standards, open source, and open APIs are cooked in the heart of everything we build. We opened the source code of the kernel of our controller platform in a project called Floodlight used standard protocols like OpenFlow, and we work with the Open Networking Foundation to create standardized programming API. Again, we found these design principles around the opening to map directly to those of the CloudStack community.
- Finally, we have developed our platform to work with hypervisor switches and physical devices in the network. As people on the CloudStack cloud building you certainly can, collection management networks and physical networks say separately creates an additional burden and limit the scope and flexibility of the overall solution. What is really needed is a single platform that can operate across physical and virtual domains network.
Since the early days of our company, we have worked closely with Citrix team and open source communities for both Xen and CloudStack. RPS solution, especially one that supports network virtualization to be incorporated in both the hypervisor and platform and cloud orchestration we clearly recognize CloudStack and Xen as two of the most mature parts and sophisticated open source cloud infrastructure available today.
Today we are pleased to announce that both Big Big Network Controller and Virtual Switch are certified Citrix Ready on the XenServer and wait to be there with CloudPlatform early next year. Big Virtual Switch (BVS) allows administrators to dynamically provision cloud virtual networks, which can be coupled with XenServer and CloudPlatform to offer a flexible cloud infrastructure, agile and highly scalable. This joint solution is really exciting for us and we heard great feedback on it from our customers so far. We designed BVS to allow users to take full advantage of their clouds by eliminating network constraints and manual configurations and we are excited to bring these capabilities to Citrix customers and the wider Apache community.
