Intel Chip Chat

In this livecast from OpenStack Summit Tokyo Chris Buerger, a Technologist in the SDN Marketing Organization at Intel discusses how OpenStack is playing a large role in the transformation that is currently taking place in the network. He outlines how Intel is focusing on contributing to a set of capabilities called Enhanced Platform Awareness (EPA) and that these capabilities are already incorporated into a number of OpenStack networking projects including Neutron and Nova. Chris talks about how Intel is working to implement different capabilities that enhance OpenStack orchestrated networks to achieve line-rate throughput and that there are already twelve or so capabilities delivered through EPA that help achieve the performance needed for a carrier grade OpenStack environment.

In this livecast from OpenStack Summit Tokyo Dan Ferber, Open Source Server Based Storage Technologist at Intel and Ross Turk, Director of Product Marketing for Red Hat stop by to talk about Ceph and how it plays a critical role in delivering the full enterprise capability of OpenStack. Ross explains how Ceph allows you to build storage using open source software and standard servers and disks providing a lot of flexibility and enabling you to easily scale out storage. By lowering hardware costs, lowering the vendor lock-in threshold, and enabling customers to fix and enhance their own code, open source and software defined storage (SDS) solutions are enabling the future of next generation storage.

Jeff Autor, a Distinguished Technologist with the Servers Business Unit at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) stops by to talk about Redfish 1.0 and how HPE has implemented the Redfish 1.0 specification on their HPE ProLiant Gen9 server family as an HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) firmware update. He points out that iLO serves as the nerve center of HPE ProLiant servers that acting as the control service for the server engaging in health monitoring, power and thermal control, and remote administration. Jeff highlights how the integration of Redfish into iLO enables a programmable platform that provides customers with a wealth of information about the status of the server and greatly improves interoperability with existing standards among vendors.

Bev Crair, DCG Vice President and General Manager of the Storage Group at Intel stops by to chat about how Intel is driving the storage transformation with new technologies like 3D Xpoint ™ and the Intel® Xeon® processor D-1500 product family. She describes how traditional storage solutions and legacy systems haven’t had the flexibility that customers need now, hindering their hyperscale web environments. Bev emphasizes that the Intel® Xeon® processor D-1500 product family offers service provides and enterprise IT new choices for data center optimization by bringing the performance and advanced intelligence of Intel Xeon processors into a dense, low power system-on-a-chip (SoC) form factor.

In this livecast from OpenStack Summit Tokyo Reddy Chagam, a Principal Engineer with the Data Center Group at Intel and Urayoan Irizarry a Consultant Software Engineer at EMC stop by to chat about the importance of software defined storage (SDS) to OpenStack and the delivery of software defined infrastructure (SDI) within the data center. They highlight EMC’s new open source storage controller based on EMC’s ViPR controller called CoprHD (copper head). The two emphasize how CoprHD centralizes and transforms multi-vendor storage allowing end customers to deploy various environments in a simplified manner that is fully compatible with OpenStack.
