What is OpenStack<\/a>?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In a nutshell, OpenStack is a framework\u00a0<\/span>for providing developers with cloud-style APIs\u00a0<\/span>and tools on top of a choice of\u00a0infrastructure\u00a0<\/span>technologies, but does NOT provide the underlying technologies themselves. \u00a0You still need a hypervisor.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s missing?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

All your enterprise features like policies, governance, compliance, and not to mention your common expected management functions like snapshots, backup and DR capabilities.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>What’s the challenge?<\/b><\/span>
\n
\n<\/b><\/span>Scripting through API calls, finding the right drivers to integrate with your compute, network and storage virtualization stack.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Where’s the bacon?<\/b><\/span>
\nVMware Integrated Openstack (VIO)<\/a><\/span>
\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

VIO gives you a choice of how you want to consume OpenStack, either through a tightly integrated<\/span><\/div>\n
product (VIO) or a loosely integrated framework via\u00a0<\/span>distro<\/span>partners.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

You can start with VIO on <\/span>vSphere<\/span> today and still have a way to use other technologies, like KVM, in the future by leveraging <\/span>distro<\/span> partners<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>VIO pulls in all the expected management capabilities, plus the additional features of the vSphere platform, integrated drivers for the network, compute, and storage that integrate with the APIs, all of the policies, governance, compliance, etc… reducing the overhead of custom development costs for a snowflake deployment.<\/span>
