Joyent and Arista Networks Announce Strategic Partnership to…
The extensible modular network operating system in Arista’s Datacenter Ethernet Switches allows for fully automated, programmatic switch management, while Joyent’s software currently provides a set of APIs and easy to use GUI for managing CPU, memory and storage. The joint solution will provide complete network management capabilities, making Joyent the only cloud computing infrastructure provider to allow for centralized, software-based control of all of the resources in the datacenter. At release, this collaboration will enable Joyent’s multi-tenant public cloud solution to provide highly customized security configurations with improved network segmentation, including VLANS and dynamic address reconfiguration. This technology will be available in both public and private cloud solutions built using Joyent technology, providing the widest and richest range of configurations for application development and delivery. “So far, the range of use cases supported by cloud computing has been limited by a lack of flexibility and low-level control of network configuration,” said Ken Duda, vice president of software engineering at Arista. âWe’re excited to be working with Joyent to develop this solution that will enable a whole new set of customers to begin using cloud computing.” This collaboration is an expansion of technology development using Arista Ethernet Switches within Joyent’s multi-tenant public cloud, which has grown to support thousands of companies that, in turn, support millions of end-users and billions of page views each month. This extension of the technology partnership will allow Joyent’s users to directly manipulate the network while maintaining high performance and scalability.

The Worldâs Fourth Largest Utility Iberdrola Selects…
The Iberdrola deployment represents the first and largest deployment of smart metering technologies that demonstrate comprehensive end-to-end interoperability using the open PRIME metering standard, for which over twenty companies are now members or have applied for membership. Iberdrola plans to deploy an initial 100,000 meters and respective transformers incorporating two-way medium voltage and cellular communications, grid supervision and control, and meter collection infrastructure before expanding immediately to territory wide deployments of smart meters in early 2011. CURRENTâs industry-leading Smart Transformer Station portfolio, which encompasses solutions for communications, advanced sensing and meter collection, are a central component of enabling Iberdrola to meet their deployment goals. âIberdrola is changing the way metering systems are being selected and deployed by mandating open standards and end-to-end interoperability instead of proprietary meter communications solutions,â said Ray Gogel, President and COO of CURRENT Group. âAdditionally, Iberdrolaâs recognition of transformer sensing and supervision solutions are leading the way towards a comprehensive distribution smart grid approach in order to address the 20/20/20 by 2020 EU initiatives. CURRENT has been working with Iberdrola for several years to create a Smart Metering solution that avoids the trappings of existing proprietary metering systems by adhering to a philosophy that multi-vendor, open standards are critical to the wide scale adoption of Smart Grid solutions. Weâre proud to be working with such a visionary partner in Iberdrola and to provide solutions that will help them achieve their goals.â In support of Iberdrolaâs efforts, CURRENT will provide components of its industry-leading Smart Transformer Station platform comprised of infrastructure solutions for meter data concentration and collection, transformer sensing and supervision, and communications with network management. Combined, these solutions provide comprehensive support for smart metering, distribution management and provide the platform for secure communications.
