In addition, I see 4.0 already supports SDN (gre tunnels through ovs i
imagine); is this available for all hypervisors/platforms?

Thanks, Hugo, looking forward to 4.1 then.

Do you know if it works with XCP, too?

Heya,
The Nicira solution is pretty well tested with the XenServer hypervisors. We are using it on our production platforms for some time now and I know of several other people using it as well.
The 4.0.0 release contains most of the basic features to create networks using the Nicira SDN solution. The upcoming 4.1 release will have additional features (L3 routing) and ui components for configuration. I'm planning on having the support for KVM also in release 4.1, most of the work is already done, what remains is mainly testing.
Cheers,
Hugo

Hugo Trippaers is the expert on the NVP integration.
Here's a video describing the work he's doing

Alex,
Right, so not production quality. Is the Nicira solution more tested?
Any pointers, please?

That's incorrect. OVS GRE is implemented currently on XenServer and KVM but is at prototype/demo quality. Nicira is on KVM, I believe. Hugo would know more about that.
It is not the same as VPC and it is not from client to VR only.

I believe SDN is form the client to the Virtual Router or VPC so it should be hypervisor agnostic feature.
One of the developers may correct me here if needed.

Isn't the Borg Collective already cloud based?
