Server virtualization was one of the most significant impacts to the IT industry since the birth of the Internet. It allowed for greater flexibility and portability by abstracting the operating system from the physical server hardware. Since then we have seen the trend continue to software defined storage and now software defined networking.
Open networking means flexible networking.
For our software defined network solutions, we leverage Dell Networking switches that separate the hardware from software. Following this strategy allows our customers to have access to the latest programmability that uses open source, standards-based tools and applications that are already known and used. With the newest networking solutions from Dell, clients can select the best third-party network operating system that works best for the way they do business. And with a choice of 1, 10, 25, 40, 50 or 100 GbE switches, they can easily reconfigure the network at any time to meet whatever workload demands the business may encounter.
