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
