This looks like a great little system. Congrats to all the team. So many questions!<p>The most important one: Is that Patrick Stewart doing the voice over in your video? :-)<p>My only concern with the design is that it's not clear that clustering gives you true redundancy, as it appears the 48 port 10gbps switch is integrated to the same PSU as the controller, and could be a SPOF for a rack of servers?<p>I assume the switch is essentially running a completely separate control plane from the x86 hardware, and forwarding plane, that can be controlled by other appliances in the cluster?
I've spent some time deploying Openstack on Cisco UCS and this box would seem to replicate much of that functionality while adding versatility.<p>Pretty much exactly what I've wanted.<p>The benefit of converged infrastructure while leaving a choice in compute vendor and integrating the controller, interconnect and orchestrator in a single unit.<p>Very, very cool.
Really Awesome. This sounds like an awesome market to get into. I just spent the last three days toying with various Data center visualization solutions and they all suck ( even OpenStack) in terms of usability and accessibility. It would be awesome to plug in a server and have all the power that OpenStack promises up and running, maybe Nebula can do it.
I really love this. I have been waiting for somebody to do this to OpenStack and for it to be a team of original contributors makes me even more excited. I would love to "cloud-enable" our server infrastructure.
Another random question: does this require any special software on the managed servers? For example, HP iLO Advanced, for additional server management features? (Don't think so, but worth asking).
