OPEN CLOUD SWITCHES





       Open networking solutions are based on open standard, bare-metal hardware with a choice of independent open software
       for commercial NOS (Network Operating Systems), Open Source Software SDN, virtualization, and cloud orchestration.
       For years, hyper-scale data center operators have been enjoying the benefits of open networking solutions: reduced
       network equipment expenses, automated and accelerated provisioning of network capacity and services, greater control
       over the development of enhanced network services, flexibility to work with best-in-class suppliers, and reduced
       operating expenses.
       These open networking benefits are now available for many more networking use cases. Public and private cloud data
       centers of all sizes are being deployed with network fabric built from open leaf and spine switches. Edgecore Networks
       offers choices of hardware to meet open network deployment, from 1G, 10G, 25G and 40G, 100G to 400G.
