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

One thing that is hard to measure in open source projects is just how

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 
enough, it is sometimes considered a second priority when customers 
begin investigating the benefits of an IaaS cloud, but quickly becomes 
your first priority when running one.
