More commentary on EMC’s new ViPR, this time from Scott D. Lowe:

Based on the limited material that is publicly available so far, here are a few thoughts about ViPR:

  • I like the control plane-data plane separation model that EMC is taking with ViPR.
  • I like that EMC is including a variety of object storage APIs, including Atmos, AWS S3, and OpenStack Swift, and that there is API support for OpenStack Cinder and OpenStack Glance as well.
  • Obviously, a key difference between SDN and SDS a la ViPR is openness.
  • Hey, where’s the network virtualization support?
