Edgecore Networks Introduces Open Routers for Service Provider Networks

▤ Summary

The Edgecore contribution will help expand our work into aggregation and core switching applications that are critical for the telco community.” Bill Carter, CTO, OCP Foundation “ As a valued Partner member of ONF, Edgecore actively contributes to ONF work in developing Reference Designs and open source software to meet service provider requirements for deployable open infrastructures. Our reference designs leverage open hardware from OCP whenever possible, and we therefore are encouraged to see Edgecore’s contributions of service provider router designs and enhanced data center switch designs which will broaden the range of open hardware platforms available for integration into service provider solutions.” Guru Parulkar, Executive Director, Open Networking Foundation and Stanford Platform Lab " Broadcom introduced Jericho2 earlier this year as part of its next generation StrataDNX SOC family to accelerate the transition of carrier and service provider networks to merchant silicon with new levels of cost/performance. We are pleased to see Edgecore take another step to enable the adoption of merchant silicon-based open networking for service providers by contributing their designs of next generation carrier switches featuring Jericho2 to OCP." When combined with Edgecore’s industry-leading routers, ArcOS offers unprecedented levels of internet scale, automation, standards-based programmability utilizing OpenConfig/YANG based models, and enhanced telemetry.” Devesh Garg, founder and CEO, Arrcus “ As a member and contributor to the Open Compute Project, Big Switch is pleased to see Edgecore share its new switch designs with the OCP community for mass market adoption. Cumulus Linux will soon be running on Edgecore’s Broadcom StrataXGS Trident3-based switches, which offer increase network flexibility and scalability and improved telemetry.
