PLUMgrid, a leading innovator in virtual network infrastructure for OpenStack clouds, is partnering with Huawei to deliver a fully integrated and automated installation of PLUMgrid Open Networking Suite (ONS) through Huawei Compass, enabling simplified deployment of OpenStack for SDN and NFV. Compass, an open source project contributed by Huawei, provides deployment-as-a-service for bare metal machines with anintuitive graphical interface for user navigation and includes a set of RESTful APIs for operators to discover, configure and manage hardware and software-based resources to stand up OpenStack clouds.

Working with Huawei to automate PLUMgrid ONS through Compass is an example of how our visions align on streamlining OpenStack deployments and making installations easy, simple and fast. PLUMgrid ONS not only provides a secure and scalable SDN and NFV foundation, but also brings many other benefits such as rapid Service Insertion, which is transformational. Both companies are committed to driving OpenStack deployment success and contributing to the open source community. .
