Cloud Deployments on Mirantis OpenStack Distribution with VMware Technologies: here is how Mirantis and VMware manage their Partnership.
As one of the pure-play
OpenStack Company, Mirantis who deliver the software, services, training and
support needed for running OpenStack, wants to consolidate its position and
enrich its assets.
In this dynamic, henceforth Mirantis alongside VMware works to develop and deliver solutions that help users
accelerate large-scale cloud deployments based on the Mirantis OpenStack
distribution and
VMware technologies.
Connectikpeople.co can observe that, with this agreement, Fuel, the open
source tool for OpenStack deployment and management by Mirantis, will add
support for automating the deployment of the Mirantis OpenStack distribution in
conjunction with VMware vCenter™ Server and VMware NSX™
technologies.
As from now, using Fuel, Mirantis and VMware will enable the automated
configuration of:
- The OpenStack Compute service (Nova) with the VMware vCenter Server driver;
- The OpenStack Networking service (Neutron) with the VMware NSX driver (formerly the Nicira NVP driver);
- The OpenStack Block Storage service (Cinder) with the VMware VMDK datastore driver.
- Compatibility with OpenStack Havana and future releases.
Finally, Connectikpeople.co recalls that, Mirantis and VMware will
coordinate around reference architectures and commercial support, and Mirantis
will provide enterprise-class support for OpenStack on top of VMware products.
