Apstra,
together with Dell Technologies at OCP Virtual Summit, is delivering innovation
and value to our customers while expanding opportunities for the
SONiC (Software
for Open Networking in the Cloud) ecosystem. Through this collaboration, Apstra
is capable of providing a complete white-glove solution.
These relationships are focused on expanding our SONiC support
to make it a viable option to enterprise customers. Apstra has been working
closely with Dell Technologies and together, we are taking SONiC to the next
level. The latest version of SONiC supports protocols that are critical to the
enterprise space, such as EVPN and VXLAN. Now, Fortune 500 and Global 2000
Enterprise customers will realize the significant benefits and efficiencies of
open networking, that the hyper-scale and web-scale companies have realized for
years.
Apstra firmly believes that innovation goes hand in hand with
flexibility and simplicity. Apstra delivers software that uses Intent-Based
Networking to simplify data center network management dramatically -
automating the build, operations, troubleshooting, and security of your data
center network. The result of these benefits is savings on downstream costs,
and exponentially more value from your networking investments, equating to
considerably higher business value. Apstra continues to focus on automating the
architecture and operations for data center networks and will be participating
in the OCP Virtual Summit this week to showcase our flagship product, AOS.
New Apstra SONiC NOS Enhancements include:
- AOS support for SONiC devices as Leaf/Spine/Super spine
- Apstra supports SONiC devices within an AOS managed
fabric (including 24/7 support)
- Support for new capabilities for EVPN/VXLAN, which open
up SONiC to the enterprise market
"In working with Apstra, we are making it possible to drastically
simplify the management of massive and complex networks," said Drew Schulke,
Vice President of Networking at Dell Technologies. "The solution combines
industry-leading hardware, automation, and analytics, enabling enterprise data
center transformations all while leveraging open networking to eliminate vendor
lock-in."
"Apstra is a strong advocate of network disaggregation. We are
unwavering in our commitment to deliver automated, hardware-independent,
turnkey infrastructure operations at scale. Apstra continues to evolve, adding
network operating systems to our hardware compatibility while continually
focusing on the demand and needs of our customers," said Mansour Karam,
Co-Founder and President of Apstra. "Apstra's integration with the latest
version of SONiC, which includes protocols such as EVPN/VXLAN, expands the
options for enterprises to deploy data center networks by removing hardware
constraints, and complexities."
