6WIND integrates Mirantis OpenStack for data centers and NFV Infrastructure
The 6WIND Virtual Accelerator™, which is hypervisor acceleration software, will integrate an OpenStack Fuel plugin for increased application throughput and efficiency in KVM environments. Both companies have worked together to release a Mirantis certified 6WIND Virtual Accelerator Fuel plugin. Developed in open source, Fuel provides an intuitive, GUI-driven experience for deployment and management of a variety of OpenStack distributions and plugins.
Hypervisor bottlenecks reduce application performance, slowing adoption of NFV and limiting the scale of data centers beyond 10G. Based on DPDK, 6WIND Virtual Accelerator provides a packet processing system for a full-featured and high performance virtual networking infrastructure allowing high performance I/Os leveraging DPDK, with multi-vendor NIC support; high performance virtual switching (Open vSwitch and Linux bridge) and networking (Overlays, Filtering/NAT, IP Forwarding, IPsec); and support for existing workloads through standard Virtio drivers.
Further, 6WIND Virtual Accelerator’s Fuel plugin automates the deployment of DPDK-based hypervisor acceleration in Mirantis OpenStack for virtual applications to scale from 10 to 40 to 100 Gbps throughput without disrupting the KVM hypervisors, SDN Controllers or OpenStack. 6WIND Virtual Accelerator includes full synchronization with the OS networking stack and zero configuration for Linux architectures, benefiting its Fuel plugin users with flexibility to automatically scale system resources according to application bandwidth requirements.
