Cisco and Open Stack
summary
Cisco joins the open source OpenStack effort and runs it on UCS systems, contributing networking code and architecture ideas; the community reaches about 60 companies and ships the Cactus release. A networking project called Quantum standardizes a simple L2 “virtual wire” abstraction plus a vendor plug‑in model so operators can expose virtual network segments, attach VMs and services, and invent load‑balancers or SLA monitoring. The implementation strategy focuses on simple REST APIs and pluggable backends rather than locking a single vendor solution.
