I noticed Juniper Networks is on the headline sponsor list - how are they advancing the Openstack - they rebooted mgt lately.
Niki Acosta
SDN is still the hotness. Wonder if customers are asking for plugins or if they're trying to get ahead of demand.
Niki Acosta
Most folks I talk to aren't ready for SDN... they can't wrap their heads around Neutron.
Dave Unger
@OpenContrail is seeing some definite real world adoption.
Robert Cathey
@nikiacosta Wait'll they get a load of NFV.
yuriy brodskiy
@nikiacosta Is there really a true use-case for most of the companies for SDN?
Niki Acosta
@bctdaveu Something to be said about the open options!
Dave Vellante
@nikiacosta did you hear Pat G's keynote at vmworld? "We love Cisco GEAR"
John Furrier
@dvellante Cisco is a gear company?Thought they were a platform company
Dave Vellante
Fanning the SDN flames?
Niki Acosta
@yuriybrodskiy Maybe for enterprises.
Dave Vellante
was that an offensive or defensive statement by Pat?
Niki Acosta
Software is the new hardware.
Paul Gillin
I think that's a problem. Cisco wants to be a platform co. but outside of UCS is doesn't really own a platform.
Boris Renski
Juniper Networks owns Contrail, which is quickly emerging as a very popular SDN fabric for OpenStack adopters
yuriy brodskiy
@nikiacosta i think it's a "want" vs. "need" in most of the cases.
Niki Acosta
@yuriybrodskiy It's confusing. Check out the list of Neutron Drivers/Plugins! https://wiki.opensta...
Jesse Proudman
VMWare's Integrated OpenStack is worthy of a top level discussion. Discuss... :)
Jesse Proudman
Huge win for OpenStack from a market validation perspective.
Jesse Proudman
I shared our thoughts from VMworld here: https://www.bluebox....
VMworld: OpenStack is King, Private Cloud is Alive and Well | Blue Box
Blue Box Cloud delivers a Private Cloud as a Service, Powered by OpenStack. Hosted Private Cloud delivers many of the best benefits of both public and private clouds, without the pain of cloud and infrastructure operations.
Scott Sanchez
I wish they would have just put out an awesome (and open) "enterprise" distro that didn't require 7 other VMware products to run.

VMware Embraces OpenStack And Docker -- But The Devil Is In The Detail, The Limits And The Tone
Last week saw 20,000 or so IT administrators and CIOs descend on San Francisco for virtualization-king VMware’s annual VMworld conference (disclosure, VMware covered my travel and expenses to attend the event). The show saw many announcements but I w...
John Furrier
Vmware CEO Gelsinger isn't dumb he sees Docker and Openstack as new growth opportunities to propel VMware hybrid. Distinction is stateless vs stateful apps
Jesse Proudman
@scottsanchez Why? There are plenty of options there today.
Scott Sanchez
Because it just puts enterprises that adopt it further behind- thinking it's ok to keep leaning on your infra instead of building great apps.
Jesse Proudman
@scottsanchez Really? Doesn't it provide organizations with a true IaaS? What they've been looking for for quite some time.
Jesse Proudman
@scottsanchez Assuming it actually delivers on the stability it promises.
Scott Sanchez
sure, OpenStack will deliver the IaaS pieces, but the underlying (required) legacy components ensure customers bad habits will never die.
Jesse Proudman
@scottsanchez How is buying a functional solution a bad habit?
Jesse Proudman
@scottsanchez I believe it's not the right consumption methodology for OpenStack, but I don't believe they're doing the industry a disservice.
Boris Renski
@scottsanchez VMware focus is on OpenStack interop with vSphere suite and, to my knowledge, all the drivers will be open and available for the rest of the ecosystem
Scott Sanchez
bad habit meaning you never have to learn what it means to write smart, automated applications. You're stuck on their stack forever until you learn that. Great for VMware, not so much for users.
JP Morgenthal
I think OpenStack community just saved VMware millions on trying to make vCAC actually work
Boris Renski
@jpmorgenthal do you see vCAC and OpenStack as substitutes or complementary products?
Ed Saipetch
@jpmorgenthal I think there is still a hole there.
Jesse Proudman
@scottsanchez Wait, that's not true at all. Organizations would still benefit from the power of the OpenStack APIs.
Ed Saipetch
@zer0tweets I see them as complimentary which unfortunately doesn't yield much in the end.
Jesse Proudman
@scottsanchez The underlying implementation, assuming it relies on and stays true to the OpenStack APIs should be irrelevant.
JP Morgenthal
@zer0tweets for clarity, I'm talking about components of vCAC that used to be vCloud Director that is complementary with OpenStack Compute services
Ed Saipetch
@jpmorgenthal I think there is still a hole there.
Ed Saipetch
@zer0tweets I see them as complimentary which unfortunately doesn't yield much in the end.
John Furrier
Brian Stevens was the key OpenStack evangelist at Red Hat. Also RH is conspicuously missing from OpenStack SV sponsors... What's happening with OpenStack at RH in post Brian era?
Niki Acosta
Great question! Where did @addvin go?
Steve
@addvin is obviously a great loss, but we're still here and will have speakers at @OpenStackSV including @giano, @kernelcdub and @pythondj.
Robert Cathey
Red Hat is participating as a panelist
Robert Cathey
Diane Mueller, Alessandro Perilli...
Boris Renski
@xsgordon @furrier will RH keep it's strong emphasis on OpenStack post Brian's departure?
Steve
@xsgordon @furrier would you honestly believe me if I said "no"? ;).
John Furrier
Off topic: @theCUBE pimpage: We will be doing live interviews at the event like we have in the past.
Robert Cathey
Who'll be on theCUBE with you? Stu?
Niki Acosta
Pimp it, John!

Redhat makes money on support and selling a "premium" version, I don't see them pulling out
