OpenStack Days Silicon Valley 2016: The State of OpenStack on Commodity Hardware
http://www.openstacksv.com/
In the early days of OpenStack, the marriage of open cloud software with “open” or commodity hardware was seen as one made in heaven. But six years in, is commodity hardware gaining ground in enterprise OpenStack deployments, or do these customers still prefer traditional vendors? If so, why?
Are BOMs that mix commodity and proprietary components–like commodity servers and JBODs with Cisco or Juniper switch gear the norm? Or are pre-integrated and fully commodity BOMs with components from one manufacturer more popular? Why would you mix? Is the vision of commodity switch fabrics, commodity storage, and commodity compute just a pipe dream?
This fireside chat will pull the covers back and see what’s going on with regard to the biggest concerns enterprise data center operators have when running OpenStack on open gear.
