Taking Advantage of Fibre Channel SAN Infrastructure in OpenStack Environments
Channel: OpenInfra Foundation
Date: 2013-11-08

OpenStack support for Fibre Channel SANs was introduced in Grizzly, and is progressing to include some key new capabilities. An interface for automated Fibre Channel zoning capability is being planned, along with a reference driver supporting Brocade switches. Cinder / Glance interaction functions will be updated to support Fibre Channel as well.  Attend this session to learn how to setup a POC to leverage this Fiber Channel SAN capability in managing FC SAN volumes and zones from an OpenStack orchestration perspective. If you are considering moving your dev/test or storage/backup or business applications to the cloud and extending your future FC private cloud environment to leverage OpenStack then plan on attending this discussion.
