When does QLS support Mastro architecture

[BenjaminXu]

Hi Team

For Quantum Lightspeed, when can the QLS series support Mastro architecture? what's the software version can do? do we have anything on the roadmap?

when do we announce the Mastro lightspeed(MLS) series appliance? what is the roadmap?

Thanks.

I can only cite the QLS FAQ by CP you seem not to have access to:

The Quantum LightSpeed will be supported with

• R81.10 via JHF
• R81.20

All Quantum LightSpeed model are Maestro ready and will be supported by Maestro within Q2 timeframe.

In addition, in Q2 we will introduce Maestro dedicated LightSpeed models that will enable high throughput low latency performance in 1U enclosure.

We expect MLS appliances (maestro Lightspeed) to be released in April. The regular QLS appliances cannot be used with Maestro immediately.

Then the QLS FAQ ver. 6 is wrong and they are not Maestro ready ?

[_Val_]

No, it is my statement was not 100% correct. There are some changes on orchestrator code that are not ready yet, and those will be done at the same time as MLS appliances will be released. AFAIK, you cannot use QLS with Maestro now.

Edited above as well, to avoid confusion.

Gaia Operating System on Scalable Platform still doesn't support QLS series. Which means QLS is not supporting Maestro architecture. 
Do you guys have any information that GAiA SP will support QLS? Also any update on MLS?

Hi!

The SK tracking the plans are found sk179432.  In addition the "Stage 2" features for R81.20 will come in a subsequent JHF.

Maestro, when supporting QLS and MLS, will cover the 2 MLS units, and QLS 450 and then QLS250 (not QLS650 or QLS800).

If you have a specific need or project, please reach out to me directly, and I can check with the internal HQ teams for you.

The sk179432 said

Stage 3 - Maestro LightSpeed Appliances (MLS200, MLS400, QLS250 and QLS450) Support in R81.10

Date: ETA February 2023

Is it available this month or will be delayed? 

[Chris_Atkinson]

Q1/2023 is the target, don't believe there is a specific date currently set.
