I noticed Juniper Networks is on the headline sponsor list - how are they advancing the Openstack - they rebooted mgt lately.

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.

@OpenContrail is seeing some definite real world adoption.
Robert Cathey
@nikiacosta Wait'll they get a load of NFV.

@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!

@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.

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
