BigSwitch is better than Viatta or just something different?On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 8:15 AM, Massimiliano Cuttini <max@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
If you want to build up with Viatta.
And this give you the possibility to have a fully feature OS.
What kind of hardware would you use to build up a switch?
Hard to beat the Quanta T3048-LY2, 48 10 gig, 4 40 gig. Same chip as Cisco, Dell, HP, etc. Like I said, merchant silicon and white box switches are the wave of the future. You can use Quanta OS or what I recommend is get one with the ONIE bootloader, then you can put Cumulus software on it for more features of if you much more daring flash it with BigSwitch and go OpenFlow.
Different, BigSwitch is a SDN controller.
I'm building a OpenStack+Ceph solutions, than BigSwitch seems to fit more.
Depends on what you want to do. If you want to add SDN/NFV then yes it makes sense.
About the Quanta that you suggest... whell WOW!
:) Yep, amazing what you can get for under 5k.
I see also the top solution: T5032-LY6 and even this one is affordable (just $7200).
That switch is 40 gig, normally used spine/leaf connecting the 10 gig switches together, unless that is you want to do 40 gig to the server. :)
About Infiniband, what kind of "white" switch would you suggest?
I am not aware of any white box infiniband vendors, it is a very different space then ethernet.
