Open Networking

Open networking represents a substantial departure from the usual way of doing business, and requires development and education across the organization. Our team of experts can provide an organizational readiness assessment, identify gaps and develop a plan tailored to tackle your business challenges and close those gaps in a realistic timeline.

Validating an open network solution is not a one-time event. It is an ongoing, iterative process that must constantly track changes across hardware and operating systems to chipsets and optics. Our state-of-the-art Advanced Technology Center allows organizations to design, validate and better understand the technical benefits, risks, and challenges associated with the open networking model.

By definition, disaggregated open networking solutions arrive with “some assembly required.” All modern open networking solutions will require serious supply chain and logistics support. We bring together all of the component parts in our integration facilities to deliver a production-ready product when and where you need it.

Management and ongoing support of open networking systems is critical. We can assist in the development and customization of management and orchestration solutions, provide education and training in the various components of the open networking environment and augment your operations staff with highly skilled open networking professionals. Our deep industry relationships allow us us to coordinate support efforts between vendors, provide coherent fix plans when things go wrong and handle any dead-on-arrival hardware before it’s ever deployed in the field.
