Extreme Networks Brings Networking to OpenStack Cloud as Newest Member
Open Source Cloud Initiative Adds Open Standards Ethernet Switching Leader to Impressive List of Vendors and Cloud Service Providers Creating Cloud Solution
Extreme Networks has announced its membership in the OpenStack community, an open source cloud operating system founded by Rackspace and NASA, furthering its mission to deliver high- performance virtualized network infrastructure that transitions customers to the cloud. Now with more than 50 participating companies, Extreme Networks has joined the premier open source cloud software initiative focused on driving open cloud standards.
"Extreme Networks has long been an innovator in open standards-based, high-performance networking," said Mark Collier, Vice President of Community Development and Marketing for OpenStack at Rackspace. "As networking will play a key role in the evolution of the cloud, we look forward to Extreme Networks' active participation in helping to evolve the networking layer of the OpenStack cloud."
OpenStack brings together a dedicated community of cloud service providers and technology vendors focused on building open source software infrastructure for public, private and hybrid cloud architectures. As a new member, Extreme Networks will focus on integrating and automating the networking layer of OpenStack architectures, enabling advanced service layer capabilities and end-to-end provisioning of resources.
With the emergence of private and public cloud architectures, the OpenStack open source initiative will accelerate the deployment of open and interoperable cloud services. A key component to enabling cloud services is defining and integrating network-level functionality into the stack with the goal of creating a fully automated and self-provisioning cloud infrastructure.
"OpenStack shares our vision of open and scalable cloud computing, and has already proven to be a leader in providing open source cloud-based solutions to the marketplace," said Kevin Ryan, director of Data Center Solutions Marketing for Extreme Networks. "The OpenStack community is positioned to define how cloud services are built and delivered."
With its high-performance data center solutions, the BlackDiamond and Summit switches running the ExtremeXOS operating system, Extreme Networks is well suited to deliver high performance cloud-based networking infrastructure. With advanced data center features including XNV and Direct Attach, the company has been a leader in integrating across multi-vendor virtualized environments in Managed Hosting, Cloud and Enterprise environments.
