FAQ

What is Open Networking?
Open Networking is a recent shift in the networking industry that separates hardware from software. This approach allows you to select the most suitable hardware for your infrastructure and independently choose the Network Operating System (NOS) and the network applications to run on that hardware.
Why Open Networking?
For decades, network infrastructure has been distinct from other IT infrastructure, requiring enterprises to purchase a complete solution from a single vendor. Network vendors provided hardware coupled with their proprietary operating systems and software, without allowing users to change what's in the "network box."

This has imposed numerous restrictions and scalability issues on the network. Just think of the times you have waited for your network vendor to ship that feature you really needed or fix that bug that halted your network!

With open networking, these limitations are being addressed. A wide range of hardware, NOSs, and network applications give you the flexibility to choose the best software and hardware combination to suit your specific requirements. This approach also allows you to install network services or features as applications on your selected NOS without having to wait for a specific vendor to ship that feature. Additionally, since it is based on Linux, you benefit from the Linux community's support and knowledge without relying solely on a specific vendor's support.
