<title>Specialized cases</title>
<para>Although most OpenStack architecture designs fall into one
of the seven major scenarios outlined in other sections
(compute focused, network focused, storage focused, general
purpose, multi-site, hybrid cloud, and massively scalable),
there are a few other use cases that are unique enough they
can't be neatly categorized into one of the other major
sections. This section discusses some of these unique use
cases with some additional details and design considerations
for each use case:</para>

Networking</link>: This describes running
networking-oriented software that may involve reading
packets directly from the wire or participating in
routing protocols.

networking (SDN)</link>: This use case details both
running an SDN controller from within OpenStack as well
as participating in a software-defined network.

This is for organizations that want to run a virtualized
desktop environment on a cloud. This can apply to
private or public clouds.

makes technical sense to build a multi-tiered cloud by
running OpenStack on top of an OpenStack
installation.
