VMware Further Simplifies Production Deployment of OpenStack Clouds With VMware Integrated OpenStack 3 - Seite 2

VMware has optimized and architected its management control plane to run full OpenStack in as few as two virtual machines. VMware Integrated OpenStack 3 reduces the infrastructure and related costs required to power a production-ready OpenStack cloud that can scale to thousands of virtual machines, volumes and networks while streamlining operations. This compact management control plane allows IT teams to build small OpenStack clouds for departments or branch locations cost-effectively and in as little as 15 minutes. The latest release will also enable customers to import existing VMware vSphere virtual machines into OpenStack. This capability enables developers to easily move their key project workloads and manage them through OpenStack APIs on day one.

VMware Integrated OpenStack enables IT operations teams to deliver OpenStack APIs to development teams on top of VMware infrastructure including VMware vSphere, VMware NSX® and VMware Virtual SAN™ without the need for new tools or additional training. IT operations teams can use existing investments in VMware vRealize® Operations™ and VMware vRealize Log Insight™, which are tightly integrated with both VMware Integrated OpenStack and VMware vSphere, to proactively deliver faster and easier holistic monitoring and troubleshooting of their OpenStack and virtual infrastructure, respectively. Additionally, VMware vRealize Business™ for Cloud customers can perform cost and capacity analysis of their VMware Integrated OpenStack cloud and compare those costs to operating infrastructure in the public cloud. Using VMware Integrated OpenStack, customers have deployed production OpenStack clouds in mere weeks, and rely on VMware vSphere Clustering, High Availability and vMotion® to protect workloads and maintain zero downtime in production. As an active partner in the OpenStack community, VMware packages, tests and supports all components of the distribution, including the full open source OpenStack code.

Announced yesterday, VMware Cloud Foundation™ will also support VMware Integrated OpenStack enabling customers to quickly deploy and operate their OpenStack clouds on VMware's virtual infrastructure on-premises or in the public cloud.

"We chose OpenStack because we wanted a cloud computing platform that was more conducive to agile development," said Isa Berisha, global director, Platform Engineering, HedgeServ. "Our initial two attempts to build out an OpenStack environment -- first relying on a professional services engagement model, then a managed services option -- didn't pan out. When it came to VMware Integrated OpenStack, it just worked. Our developers love our VMware Integrated OpenStack-based cloud which has helped us to support big changes to our development and QA cycles including the adoption of continuous integration and continuous delivery practices. Developers now have a self-service portal that enables them to instantiate and manage their own environment with the OpenStack cloud."
