There has been a good deal of FUD spread since VMware has announced their NSX network hypervisor based on software from their $1 billion Nicira acquisition. VMware is a large corporation but, $1 billion is a lot of money to any company and a big bet on network virtualization.

In this post, I’m going to walk you through the process I used to build a Vagrant box for Cumulus VX that will work with VMware desktop hypervisors (like VMware Fusion or VMware Workstation ). This allows you to test Cumulus Linux without needing compatible network hardware. This will create a “native” VMware VM.

Both Cisco and VMware have bet big on SDN as the future of the multi-billion dollar network industry. VMware bet big on the purchase of Nicira and released their NSX product network virtualization solution as a way forward away from hardware first solutions such as typical Cisco product.

Prior to VMware purchasing Nicira, the company was one of a handful of SDN players on the market. M2Mi’s product has gone through some well-engineered test cases by Intel to come out as an interesting/shipping virtual network solution as far back as a year ago. I wasn’t even sure of the difference of a virtual network vs. SDN.

I’ve been thinking a bit more about the Cisco ACI vs. VMware NSX debate. When I started programing back in high school I had this theory about x86 hardware. There was never such a thing as under powered hardware it was always an issue of poor or uncreative programing. I never blamed the hardware for application performance.
