Overview
Networking is one of the areas which enjoyed the largest amount of innovation recently, especially in configuration and multi-tenancy, with Open vSwitch™ (OVS) playing the leading part in this domain by far.
As a result of the joint effort between Cloudbase Solutions, VMware and the rest of the Open vSwitch community, OVS is now ported for Microsoft Hyper-V, allowing the integration of Hyper-V in multi-hypervisor clouds using GENEVE, GRE, VXLAN and STT as a common overlay standard.
The installation process is made extremely easy with our intuitive MSI installer taking care of all the required binaries and configurations, including Windows services for the ovsdb-server and ovs-vswitchd daemons.
