VMware Philosophy on OpenStack
Customer Choice
• VMware supports Customer choice.
• Our support for OpenStack enables choice
OpenStack
• An open framework for building clouds
• Assembles a solution from underlying
Compute, Network, Storage components.
• Can be managed and automated using many
solutions.
An Opportunity for VMware SDDC
• VMware SDDC provides best-in-class
Compute, Network, Storage & management
solutions for OpenStack.
• We view OpenStack as an opportunity for
VMware SDDC portfolio.

Why OpenStack Neutron?
 Give tenants control over networking
• Provide technology-agnostic tenant API to manage virtual
network topologies
 Leverage advanced network technologies
• Traditional approach (‘Nova-network’) provides only basic
technologies
• VLANs are only option for multi-tenancy
• “network controller” node is centralized single-point of failure
for large networks.
Who needs private
networks?
Trunking all
VLANs is a great
idea!
- Stone Age Man

8. 9
What is OpenStack Neutron?
 An API allowing cloud tenants to:
• Define advanced network topologies in the
cloud
• Manage IP addressing
• Monitor network status
• Define security and quality-of-service
policies
• Configure advanced network services
 A framework for leveraging advanced
technologies
• Based on a ‘plugin’ mechanism

Why run OpenStack Neutron on VMware NSX
HA & Scale
What?
• Scale-out architecture with
sub-second HA
Why?
• Distribute workloads
without Networking
boundaries
Performance
What?
• Distributed architecture
and efficient encapsulation
Why?
• Get most out of your
existing 10GE NW & NICS
Enterprise-class features
What?
• Gateways, QoS, BUM
offload and many others
Why?
• Eases cloud deployment &
integrates existing
workloads.
Operational Agility
What?
• Single pane of glass &
operational model.
Why?
• Better sleep at night
knowing support has tools
to do their job.
