OpenStack Networking and Data Storage solutions

Thank you to everyone who attended our first meetup, we had a fantastic turnout! This month we have:

Steven Walcheck, Senior Business Development Manager at SolidFire, will be be presenting on "OpenStack Block Storage and Cinder".

SolidFire is the market leader in all-flash storage systems with unique volume level QoS (ability to guarantee IOPS on a per-volume/instance basis).

Tim Fall, Cloud Architect and Engineer at Midokura, will be presenting "I Can Haz Moar Networks?".

Midokura was founded by veteran networking and virtualization pioneers, who were among the first innovators that sought to develop a completely scalable, dynamic and decoupled virtualized network solution. Following years of research and development, Midokura built Midonet to provide the most scalable infrastructure to virtualize networks. MidoNet provides a Neutron plugin that replaces default OVS plugin and provides distributed network service functions in an OpenStack environment and can be configured and managed using OpenStack interface (i.e. Horizon and Neutron CLI).

There will be food&drinks as always. Contact me at sheila.wong@auro.io for any speaking opportunities/sponsorship ideas.

As always, kudos to AURO who will be sponsoring free cloud credits and food/drinks.
