OpenStack represents a revolution in agile and efficient public and private cloud architectures. It is becoming the de facto cloud platform and organizations are moving a diverse range of both conventional and cloud-native workload onto OpenStack clouds. The infrastructure supporting OpenStack cloud needs to be flexibly composed to run optimally for these workloads.

In this session, we introduce Open Composable Network (OCN), a new way of cloud networking that stemmed from the hyper-scale cloud and web services giants, but is being made available widely by Mellanox and our cloud ecosystem partners. Similar to Lego design, which use basic components with standard interfaces to construct into anything you can imagine, OCN leverages network disaggregation (into basic network building blocks), open abstraction interfaces, and automated orchestration and management to turn these building blocks into networks optimally composed to support your unique workload. This new way of cloud networking enables open platforms to unlock performance and unleash innovation to achieve web-scale efficiency. Our end-to-end 25/50/100G Ethernet and InfiniBand intelligent interconnect solutions provide unparalleled speeds, predictable performance, and extreme flexibility to compose and recompose software-defined infrastructures to meet the needs of cloud-native and enterprise workloads. We’ll discuss the OCN architecture and share with you real world deployments of our OpenStack customers such as Cambridge, Enter, and NCI to showcase how these public and private clouds have achieved unmatched OpenStack efficiency and flexibility.
