A Practical Guide To Disaggregated Networks with Onward and GigaOm
15 videos • 96 views • by IP Infusion Technology "A Practical Guide To Disaggregated Networks" is an ongoing webinar series hosted by IP Infusion. IP Infusion is the manufacturer of OcNOS Open Compute Network Operating System. OcNOS is an award-winning networking software platform specifically designed for carrier-level throughput and performance, deployed on generic white-box networking hardware from any number of hardware manufacturers such as UfiSpace and Edgecore Networks. In this webinar, IP Infusion Chief Marketing Officer Kelly LeBlanc is hosting Nick Keeler, CEO of California based service provider Onward. Onward recently chose IP Infusion to provide the networking platform for their growing customer base of both business and residential customers. Onward, based in Rancho Cucamonga, California, is a full fiber network service provider for residential and business customers. With its current growth, Onward was outpacing its existing networking equipment. In addition, its legacy networking product was prone to stability challenges and inadequate vendor support. Taking this opportunity for a wholesale upgrade in performance and capacity, Onward has deployed IP Infusion’s OcNOS-SP-MPLS networking software packages. UfiSpace’s S9600-32X provides the hardware platform for 100 Gbps core and aggregation services, and the UfiSpace S9502-12SM provides a fanless and temperature-hardened platform for connection to the core. IP Infusion provides a complete bundled solution with a single point of contact for maintenance and support. Because of the interoperability of OcNOS, the upgrade was seamless with existing networks and provided a modern platform for new features. OcNOS integrates with Onward’s netElastic deployment for CGNAT at the network edge. This is a great case study to examine, from concept to completion. Additionally, they are joined by Darrel Kent, Field Chief Technical Officer at technology analyst group GigaOm. GigaOm is the owner and publisher of the GigaOm NOS Radar Report, of which IP Infusion has been the leader and outperformer for four consecutive years. Mr. Kent provides analysis from the field, and commentary on the applicability of software networking in the modern marketplace. OcNOS is the most feature-rich and market hardened networking software platform on the market today with the most deployments of an open networking software platform by an independent vendor. www.ipinfusion.com
