Brocade (News - Alert), a provider of networking solutions, asserted that its newly released Brocade VCS fabric plugin is capable of providing powerful on-demand fabric provisioning capabilities in OpenStack-based cloud environments and demonstrates its commitment to bring open network solutions to enterprise and service provider customers.


John Igoe, vice president of Rackspace (News - Alert) Private Cloud said that “The benefit of deploying a private or public cloud built on OpenStack is that it gives the customer the utmost level of flexibility and control when provisioning essential components within an open cloud architecture. The inclusion of Brocade as a part of the Rackspace Private Cloud reference architecture addresses the desire of our customers to have choice in their distributions. Innovative companies like Brocade, who are committed to supporting open initiatives, enable customers to fully capitalize on their IT investments without risk of vendor or technology lock-in associated with proprietary platforms.”

The VCS Fabric technology helps organizations create efficient data center networks that maximize flexibility and IT agility, enabling organizations to transition smoothly to elastic, mission-critical networks in highly virtualized data centers. Brocade VCS plug-in expands the native attributes of Brocade VCS Fabric technology and is stated to be available as component of the OpenStack Grizzly release.

While commenting the leadership role Brocade hopes to play in the OpenStack development community, Jason Nolet (News - Alert), vice president of the Data Center Networking Group at Brocade said, “Brocade is currently the only networking vendor offering OpenStack-compatible solutions with advanced fabric-enabled capabilities that support cloud-based, scale-out data center infrastructures. In addition to delivering OpenStack support for Brocade products that accelerate the adoption of cloud technologies and deliver on the promise of The On-Demand Data Center, Brocade is an active contributor to the OpenStack development community, taking an active leadership role in driving innovation in important areas of the framework, such as the addition of Fiber channel SAN provisioning into OpenStack.”
