Midokura, the global innovator in software network virtualization, today announced its
Midokura Enterprise MidoNet (MEM)
network virtualization technology has achieved certification with Red
Hat OpenStack Platform 8. Now, users can leverage the power of MEM with
the latest release from Red Hat, designed to support the OpenStack
community "Liberty" release.
"The strength of Red Hat OpenStack
Platform lies in joint engineering with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and the
robust ecosystem of certified networking solutions," said Dan Mihai
Dumitriu, CEO and co-founder of Midokura. "We are pleased to continue
our close work with Red Hat and the OpenStack Networking (Neutron) core
team to drive requirements from enterprises and web services companies
into our joint solutions."
Midokura's MEM
technology offers an intelligent, software-based network abstraction
layer between the hosts and the physical network, by decoupling the IaaS
cloud from the network hardware. In turn, operators can build isolated
networks in software to overlay the existing hardware-based network
infrastructure. The open source version of its core MidoNet technology is quickly gaining in popularity among organizations of all sizes in more 120 countries.
The news follows on the heels of Midokura's announcement of $20.4 million in Series B funding earlier
this month. Midokura continues to be the trusted network virtualization
vendor of choice for large-scale OpenStack deployments for leading
organizations, including Ancestry.com, Blue Jeans Network, Overstock.com
and Puppet.
"We're delighted by MidoNet's
certification with Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8," said Radhesh
Balakrishnan, general manager, OpenStack, Red Hat. "MidoNet's open
source networking tools complement Red Hat's open, cloud platform and
allow more end-users to experience the value of these platform and
network virtualization solutions."
Midokura is a proud participant of
the Red Hat Connect for Technology Partners program, which connects
business and technical resources to third-party technology companies who
are aligning with Red Hat's OpenStack product offerings. For the full
