Unlocked Partners » Big Switch Networks
Mirantis and Big Switch Networks are partnering to accelerate OpenStack deployments on SDN-based cloud fabrics built with commodity bare metal switches. The joint solution involves the Mirantis Fuel installer for OpenStack with Big Switch’s Big Cloud Fabric (BCF) network plug-in. Customers can rapidly stand up OpenStack clouds that are scalable, resilient, operationally simple and highly cost optimized. The Mirantis Fuel installer provides a simplified interface which dramatically accelerates deployment of Openstack while giving customers the flexibility to tailor Openstack to their needs. Big Switch’s Big Cloud Fabric Controller programmatically interacts with OpenStack orchestrator to provision logical networks onto the ultra low-cost leaf-spine fabric in a zero-touch manner, thus enabling tremendous application agility and rapid change management.

Big Switch Neutron ML2 Driver
An ML2 Mechanism Driver to integrate ML2 deployments into Big Switch/Floodlight controlled networks. This driver only controls physical infrastructure so it is meant to be combined with the openvswitch mechanism driver. The Big Switch Neutron ML2 Driver is Mirantis Certified. Big Switch has produced a comprehensive runbook for integrators, available to their customers on request.
