While HP supports ODP, it also have its own Virtual Application Networks (VAN) controller which speaks OpenFlow, a recently announced SDN application store, and a federated control protocol with VMware’s NSX controller.

It remains to be seen how HP will rationalize its participation in ODP with its own VAN and SDN app store.
