Dell to Enable Hyper-V and Windows Server 2012 Support for OpenStack
20 Mai 2013 - 10:30PM
Business Wire
Dell today announced it will enable Microsoft Windows Server
Hyper-V as a viable hypervisor choice for the OpenStack cloud
platform. This development, which is the first instance of a
leading technology vendor enabling Windows Server Hyper-V
hypervisor on OpenStack for private clouds, will give customers
additional flexibility and choice to run OpenStack workloads within
their existing Windows Server environments.
Dell will enable key features of the Windows Server 2012
virtualization platform for OpenStack, including network
virtualization, policy-based isolation, Quality of Service (QoS)
and multi-tenancy. Additionally, Dell is working with other
OpenStack members for the optimization of OpenStack components
including OpenStack Compute for Hyper-V, OpenStack Block Storage
for Windows, and Dell Crowbar provisioning. Dell is targeting
availability of initial functionality in an upcoming release of the
OpenStack project.
“Dell has been an active sponsor of OpenStack for almost three
years,” said Forrest Norrod, general manager, Dell Server
Solutions. “This project from Dell will help the OpenStack
community gain additional value from investments in Windows Server
2012, with opportunity to further explore OpenStack-based solutions
and workloads within existing environments.”
Dell and Microsoft have a longstanding relationship and this
effort is in addition to Dell’s current support for native Windows
Server 2012 and Hyper-V. Microsoft is working with Dell to provide
support to enable interoperability. Dell will also work to have
System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager, federated with
OpenStack Image Manager, to provide full functionality. The concept
of federating System Center Virtual Machine Manager with OpenStack
Image Manager is to minimize synchronization issues to OpenStack
customers running a hybrid environment with Integration to
customers using Window Server 2012 Hyper-V in this environment.
Dell has been part of the OpenStack community since its
announcement in 2010 and offers a packaged OpenStack solution
today, the Dell OpenStack-Powered Cloud Solution, along with a
number of joint solutions with partners. Dell also holds two seats
on the OpenStack Board of Directors.
As part of Dell’s broader cloud strategy, Dell has been a
pioneer in working with customers to design and build private
clouds through its industry-leading Server, Storage and Networking
infrastructure products in addition to its recently unveiled Active
Systems portfolio.
