Legacy, multi-tiered data center architectures, originally designed for north-south traffic, have been pushed to breaking point with cloud computing, big data, virtualization and more. With east-west traffic now dominating the majority of data center traffic, a new approach to network architecture was imperative. Step forward the data center fabric…

This is my second installment of this particular blog, as the ever-changing landscape of the open networking world dictates it. We have a bevy of new additions on the software side mainly down to the new bare metal devices for the telecoms industry from the OCP projects from the ONF and TIP. You can catch up on this in my previous blog. Here are the 2020 runners and riders in alphabetical order so no one thinks I am playing favorites.

Since 2012, hyperscale data center operators have enjoyed the benefits of the bare metal/whitebox revolution that has taken place in networking. Nearly a quarter of all switches now shipped are bare-metal and that does not include the brite boxes (bare-metal rebranded like HPE and Dell) in that figure. It has become easier to automate, scale, provision our data centers, not to mention the reduced CAPEX and OPEX.
