Delivering enhanced features for OpenStack Kilo release

QLogic says that its FastLinQ™ 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) adapters have been verified to support OpenStack Kilo, the 11th release of OpenStack. QLogic FastLinQ adapters support Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) offload under the OpenStack Kilo cloud operating system. In addition, QLogic Next-Gen Ethernet adapter management suite is slated to include features that will provide unprecedented visibility into OpenStack deployments powered by QLogic FastLinQ adapters.

Commonly deployed as an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution, the OpenStack open-source cloud operating system controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a data centre. The Kilo release takes place at a time when production deployments compose half of OpenStack deployments and network functions virtualization (NFV) is the fastest-growing use case for OpenStack cloud software.


QLogic is a Corporate Sponsor of the OpenStack Foundation which allows the company to provide additional funding to support the Foundation's mission of protecting, empowering and promoting OpenStack. To simplify deployment for system administrators, QLogic hosts an OpenStack microsite with interoperability guides, or “cookbooks” of proven multi-vendor solutions configured with QLogic FastLinQ adapters for OpenStack. Additionally, system administrators can take advantage of QLogic’s automated configuration scripts for easier OpenStack deployments.


“OpenStack is gaining a great deal of momentum, particularly in the private cloud market. With the launch of Kilo, OpenStack is more robust than ever and is beginning to draw more interest in the enterprise space,” said Manoj Gujral, vice president of marketing, Ethernet Products, QLogic. “QLogic offers a comprehensive portfolio of I/O solutions for OpenStack today and is developing next-generation 25/50/100Gb Ethernet solutions that will very soon take I/O performance to unprecedented levels in OpenStack environments.”
