PMC-Sierra, Inc. (PMC®) (Nasdaq:PMCS), the semiconductor and
software solutions innovator transforming networks that connect,
move and store big data, today announced participation in
Canonical's Ubuntu OpenStack Interoperability Lab (OIL). OIL is an
integration lab in which Canonical tests and validates cloud
partners’ software with multiple versions of Ubuntu OpenStack on
industry-leading hardware configurations.
“Canonical’s Ubuntu operating system and Ubuntu OpenStack are
the most popular operating platforms for cloud and scale-out
computing,” said Kurt Chan, vice president of storage technology
and strategy for PMC’s Enterprise Storage Division. “PMC’s storage
products combine the highest port count and performance with power
efficiency, and they are foundational to enabling the scale-out
data center. Working with the OpenStack Interoperability Lab as a
cloud ecosystem partner will ensure that PMC solutions can be
deployed seamlessly across a wide variety of Ubuntu OpenStack
configurations.”
Currently OIL is working with more than 3,000 Ubuntu OpenStack
combinations per month. Ubuntu is the hyperscale OS natively
powering scale-out workloads on a new wave of low-cost, ultra-dense
server hardware based on x86, ARM, and OpenPower processors. PMC’s
storage products, including SAS and SATA I/O controllers, SAS
expanders, Adaptec by PMC® RAID adapters and HBAs, and
Flashtec™NVMe solutions are designed to enable the Ubuntu OpenStack
framework.
“We welcome PMC and their storage hardware and software
expertise to OIL,” said John Zannos, vice president of Canonical’s
Cloud Alliances team. “As more new solutions are developed for
Ubuntu OpenStack, interoperability between components becomes
increasingly important. In the Ubuntu OpenStack Interoperability
Lab, we test and integrate our partners’ hardware and software
rigorously, to ensure all components can be combined reliably in
real-world deployments.”
