Introduction
Midokura Enterprise MidoNet and Mirantis OpenStack deliver a turnkey private- or
public-cloud OpenStack solution, including the leading networking virtualization
overlay. This joint solution is simple to deploy, agile to operate, and securely scales
to thousands of nodes, to match the growth of your business, be it enterprise, web-
scale, or service provider.
OpenStack benefits
OpenStack transforms traditional data centers to software defined infrastructure
(Networking, Storage, essentially SD-everything). The widespread adoption of
OpenStack has made cloud infrastructure a source of competitive advantage. Greater
reliance on cloud infrastructure creates greater expectations. These expectations
and benefits take two forms: On the cost side, organizations adopting Mirantis
OpenStack can lower CapEx and OpEx to decrease costs and drive significant
savings to their bottom line. On the revenue side, the MidoNet virtualized network
environment speeds the pace of experimentation and innovation. Organizations can
deploy OpenStack in a private, public, or hybrid cloud setting, balancing infrastructure
resource elasticity with security, control, and regulatory compliance.
Mirantis
Mirantis is the most flexible and open distribution of OpenStack. In a single
commercially supported package, Mirantis integrates core OpenStack with key related
projects and third-party plug-ins. Mirantis provides Production Ready Packages that
are proven at web-scale, and includes Fuel, the leading purpose-built OpenStack
installer, now part of the OpenStack Big Tent. Mirantis also provides the Murano
Application Catalog to enable rapid workload onboarding. In short, everything you
need to leverage OpenStack as a business enabler, not merely a technology project.
“From being a source of
inertia that inhibits change,
the modern network
has become a source of
momentum to drive positive
business change, and grow
revenue.”
Overcoming Challenges
Mirantis addresses and overcomes the single biggest criticism of OpenStack: it can be difficult to install and administer.

MidoNet
MidoNet is an open-source, software-only, highly scalable, and resilient, network
virtualization system. MidoNet overlays the existing network hardware infrastructure,
and allows users to build isolated networks entirely in software. Its distributed
architecture allows enterprises and service providers to build, run, and manage virtual
networks at scale, with increased control, security, and flexibility. MidoNet provides
virtualized L4 load balancing, virtual L2/L3 switching, and virtualized firewalls.
Mirantis and MidoNet together
The combination of Mirantis OpenStack and Midokura Enterprise MidoNet allows
self-service scale-out clouds to support modern application workloads on virtualized
infrastructure, running on commodity hardware. Midokura integrates with Mirantis
through the MidoNet plugin for Fuel, which automates the entire solution deployment
out-of-the-box. The simplicity of this solution, and the close collaboration between
Mirantis and Midokura development and GTM teams, is proven in multiple successful
enterprise and service-provider deployments.
Commercial Release
The commercial release, Midokura Enterprise MidoNet, adds a unified dashboard for virtual objects, tightly integrated with OpenStack Horizon. It also adds support for ESXi and vSphere, and automated logging and analysis tools, and includes 24x7 enterprise support.
