Welcome
The Crossbow Birds of a Feather session at CommunityOne West 2009 will be held Tuesday evening, June 2nd, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, at the Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco in Ballroom B. There will be a hands-on workshop right after the BOF so you can start creating your own virtual network right on your laptop right then and there.
Goal
The goal of this session is to bring together the early adopters of Crossbow to discuss interesting use cases of the technology, e.g. virtualizing networking services, server and network consolidation, creating a multiple-subnet network in a box. Participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences with other developers and deployers as well as to learn about other interesting use cases for Crossbow. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback to the Solaris architects behind Crossbow.
Background on Crossbow
Crossbow introduces a new networking stack into OpenSolaris that greatly improves the efficiency and scalability of OpenSolaris and also introduces unique network virtualization and resource control features. This provides the foundation for OEMs and ISVs to build interesting higher-level networking services that can take advantage of these new features. Typical use cases are server and network consolidation and cloud computing.
