Review on Barefoot by Neil Biondo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Turns your iDRAC into an HCL management server

- Can be used with bare-metal hypervisor such as KVM or Xen.- Has its own container orchestration tool called "Bareos."- Can manage large networks using VLANs to create subnetworks for different functions/servers. The interface needs some improvement from time to time but it's still usable. It can handle up to about 100Gbps per port if configured properly. You need at least one dedicated physical switch for each layer2 network (VLAN) you have. For example, I had 3x10GE interfaces that needed their own 10GBASE Ethernet switches.
