Procurve vSwitch like the Cisco Nexus 1000V?

Anyone know if HP will be creating a Procurve virtual appliance vSwitch for vSphere (like the Cisco Nexus 1000V)?

Thanks,

Craig.

Unlikely as they have the Flex-10 product which when coupled with the kit from Blade Technologies provides similar functionality and it is not just vSphere it will also work with earlier products..

At this time the only 3th part network "stack" is Cisco Nexus.

Maybe in the future...

Hello,

I think this will depend on how well Flex-10 currently works with vSphere. We may hear more about this on the 2nd of June.
