SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/12/15 -- Midokura, the global innovator in software network virtualization, today announced that Director of Technical Marketing Susan Wu will present at two leading industry events in Seattle, Washington: CloudOpen North America, set for August 17-19, 2015, and OpenStack Day Seattle, on August 20.

** CloudOpen North America Session Details-at-a-Glance **

What: "DevOps for Networking: Pets or Cattle?"
When: Wednesday, August 19, 3:00pm - 3:50pm PT
Where: Grand Ballroom D, Sheraton Seattle, 1400 6th Avenue, Seattle, WA
Who: Susan Wu, director of technical marketing at Midokura

Susan will be presenting on the concept of the "pets vs. cattle" metaphor. When referring to virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud, "cattle" VMs are all alike, of equal importance and easily replaced. "Pet" VMs are customized to run specific workloads, and work to restore them when they go down. Software-defined networking (SDN) is DevOps for networking, and as such, along with network virtualization, is the basis of the cattle approach.

Failures happen, inevitably at the worst times, and networks are not easily disposable, as you can't just spin up new virtual routers and toss them if they don't behave. But if an enterprise is using an overlay, you can simulate failures much more easily using APIs. This session will cover reconciling the "pet" and "cattle" strategies in networking so enterprises can keep productive and workloads up and running.
