There's many benefits of Open Networking: reduced network equipment expenses, greater and enhanced network services, automated and accelerated provisioning, no vendor lock-in, and reduced operating expenses. But what does the infrastructure actually look like under the hood?
The growth of cloud computing and the IoT, along with the rise of open-source technologies and communities, is transforming how IT is developed, delivered, and used by businesses and consumers. Public and private cloud data centers of all sizes are being deployed with a network fabric built from open leaf and spine switches, with open software platforms on top that allow them to unlock the benefits of open networking: increased choice, freedom and control, plus a lowered TCO.
