Industry Voices—Doyle: State of play for white box switch deployments by CSPs
Summary
Suppliers of network operating systems include Arrcus, Big Switch, Cumulus, Kaloom, 128 Technology, Pica8, Pluribus, Snaproute and a number of open source options such as Sonic, DANOS and FBOSS. Leading CSPs have deployed white box switches and routers in a number of use cases, including their internal data centers and their networks. Like hyperscale cloud providers, CSPs can benefit from lower cost white box switching, especially as they increase the speed/capacity of their data center networks to 100GB and beyond. As part of larger NFV projects, white box deployment for switching or routing can bring significant cost benefits to CSPs. Doyle Research expects the white box edge routing to bring broad deployments with communications service providers over the next few years.
