We’re running Quantum (in Grizzly) with OvS+GRE overlay networking with KVM 
only. NSX and VMWare/Nicira are among the SDN vendors who claim to be able to 
integrate ESXi with KVM in a multi-hypervisor OpenStack cloud, but they’re not 
the only one. There are a number of other vendors who claim they can also 
integrate ESXi with KVM in a common virtual network.

We’re not ready to just decide to go with VMWare/Nicira without first 
evaluating all the options.

However, we’re getting some pressure to support ESXi in a timeframe that 
doesn’t allow for completing the SDN evaluation. I’m trying to figure out if we 
can integrate ESXi into our KVM based OvS+GRE/Neutron (post-upgrade from 
Grizzly) cloud in the interim, or if we need to push back and say that we 
simply can’t support ESXi in the requested timeframe.
