While it's still an evolving area, the industry now has a a few years of virtual networking under its belt. And with many production deployments, and standard abstraction layers like Quantum, OpenStack is leading the way. In this talk, I'll draw from my experience of hundreds of customers visited, hundreds of thousands of miles flown, and dozens of deployments to describe use cases, what works, what doesn't, and where things seem to be going.
I will also touch on VMware's progress on vSphere in OpenStack and our plans for VMware NSX, the industry's first unified network virtualization platform out later this year.
