How Red Hat’s OpenStack partner Networking Solutions Offer Choice and
Performance, by Jonathan Gershater
Successfully implementing an OpenStack cloud is more than just choosing
an OpenStack distribution. With its community approach and rich
ecosystem of vendors, OpenStack represents a viable option for cloud
administrators who want to offer public-cloud-like infrastructure
services in their own datacenter. Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack
Platform offers pluggable storage and networking options. This open
approach is contrary to closed solutions such as VMware Integrated
OpenStack (VIO) which only supports VMware NSX for L4-L7 networking or
VMware Distributed switch for basic L2 networking

Analyzing awareness of MidoNet globally, by Sandro Mathys

Managing OpenStack: Integration Matters! by Matt Hicks
With so many advantages an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud
provides businesses, it’s great to see a transformation of IT happening
across nearly all industries and markets. Nearly every enterprise is
taking advantage of an “as-a-service” cloud in some form or another. And
with this new infrastructure, it’s now more important than ever to
remember the critical role that management plays within this mix. Oddly
