# Why Foxnut, Why us
|
||||
|
||||
As a cloud infrastructure software, OpenStack has hidden the complexity of
|
||||
hardwares for end users. But to cloud operators, they have to face different
|
||||
hardwares under OpenStack, such as: racks, servers, interfaces, fibers, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
As a DevOps team of OpenStack service provider, we have deliverd more than
|
||||
one hundred OpenStack clusters for users, the preparatory work is repeated and
|
||||
complicated, it takes lots of time on checking the correctness of links and
|
||||
location of servers, when complexity grow exponentially with the grow of clusters
|
||||
scale and availability.
|
||||
|
||||
Foxnut is aim to manage these hardware efficiently, it's designed to collect
|
||||
hardware information and organize them in visualization, operators can choose
|
||||
different OpenStack architecture and foxnut will generate automatically rack view
|
||||
and networking cables and connections view. It also will display hardwares status
|
||||
in real-time. With foxnut's help, operators could install servers into a rack and
|
||||
cable the server quickly and easily.
