Have your customers been thinking about modernizing their data centers with open networking white box solutions, or even starting to get their hands dirty? Open networking for the data center is at an inflection point – more and more data center operators are making the move to the white box approach to lower costs and break free of vendor lock-in while simultaneously heading toward a software-defined future where automation, agility and programmability are key benefits.
Data center infrastructure is rapidly moving from 10 GbE to 25 GbE connections from the server to the top-of-rack switch, along with 100 GbE uplinks to the spine switch, as the growth of 5G, cloud, SaaS, IoT and rich media applications continues unabated. Whether your customers have a single-site or multi-site data center and are thinking about a speed increase or want to give their network engineers an exciting new Linux-based project to explore, now is a good time to consider an open networking approach.
The financial, technical and operational benefits offered by open networking are driving demand for joint solutions consisting of Pluribus software and Edgecore white box switches offered through industry-leading distributor EPS Global. These joint solutions provide the flexibility to offer customers open networking solutions tailored to their needs as they design their single-site and multi-site data center and private cloud networks.
