NaaS guys finish ... first: Dell, HP, Mirantis, Tintri in OpenStack brat pack

The Tokyo #OpenStack summit saw more announcements today as vendors enjoy playing the Open Stack game which, it appears, no one can lose.
#Dell, #Mirantis and #BigSwitch Networks have launched an OpenStack Neutron networking reference architecture using a Big Cloud P+V #SDN Fabric, Dell Open Networking switches and Mirantis OpenStack. This was tested on an 8-rack, 300 compute-node OpenStack data centre Pod at the #DellOpenNetworking centre of excellence in Santa Clara, CA. and claimed to be deployed in just two hours.
#Neutron is said to provide networking-as-a-service (#NaaS) with a modular and plug-in architecture and APIs. Big Switch Networks says its Big Cloud Fabric (BCF) is built as a leaf, spine and virtual switch fabric. The #BigCloudFabric Controller acts as the centralised facility for provisioning, troubleshooting, visibility and analytics of the physical and virtual network environment.
Hybrid array vendor #Tintri stepped up and said it supports OpenStack. It has a Cinder driver that lets users analyse individual Cinder virtual machines and volumes from the Tintri user interface.
Tintri says it has #RedHat Enterprise #Linux OpenStack Platform Ecosystem certification and is a corporate sponsor of the OpenStack Foundation.
