Sarwar Raza, HP Networking, Live from HP Discover Barcelona 2014 with Dave Vellante
The move for openness and interoperable solutions in the networking space is a customer driven move, and single-vendor solutions are pushing consumers away, according to one cloud executive. In his live interview with theCUBE at Hewlett-Packard Co.’s Discover Event in Barcelona, Sarwar Raza, Director of Cloud Networking and SDN, HP Networking, further explained that “the Software Defined Network (SDN) movement really catalyzed the democratization of networking. We look at moving away from a locked in solution to solutions that offer interoperability across infrastructures. Now we see projects all across the networking domain, from hardware to SDN controllers.”
Raza continued on, saying that “the point of SDN is really to be able to offer customers openness at every layer in the stack. Open, and openness in general. is a very strong movement in the networking industry.”
As customers drive market shifts, currently “most opens source projects now have corporate backers. Open source is becoming more and more mainstream, because customers are demanding it,” Raza said. “Open source by itself is fantastic. We have a lot of very mature communities that are putting out absolutely fantastic products and code. There is a lot of value to be built around open source solutions. At the end of the day you will see differentiated solutions built on top of it. That’s what our cloud networking solution is.”
