Why Open Networking?

Several options to choose the right OS for your workload

An Array of Choices

HW can be replaced to take advantage of merchant silicon inventions keeping the same SW. SW can be

replaced keeping the same HW.

Ability to re-purpose HW and SW

Opportunity to standardize on HW not requiring fork-lift upgrade

Standardization on HW

A scale-out leaf-spine software-defined architecture instead of 3-tier traditional networks

Enabling New and Open Architecture

Reduced CapEx and OpEx compared to traditional Incumbent infrastructure

Lower TCO

Our vision for the network is open
