IP Infusion added that OcNOS is a modular, multitasking networking operating system, that fills the void for an enterprise and service provider class standalone networking system that is fast, easy, affordable, and gives network equipment manufacturers and network carriers the tight integration capabilities with commodity hardware they need to develop highly robust, scalable, redundant solutions that can be used in multiple deployment scenarios.
IP Infusion, a leading provider of intelligent network software for telecom and data communications services, this week unveiled OcNOS, a carrier grade network operating system for data center and enterprise networking. The OcNOS which brings the power of the Open Compute Project, promises to bring advanced capabilities such as extensive protocol support for MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching).
According to IP Infusion, enterprises and service providers operating modern data centers need to create an infrastructure that has higher capacity, is less complex, and allows for fast and affordable addition of standard and new services. With OcNOS, customers can take advantage of the price/performance of the “bare-metal” hardware as well as the agility and automation of the new generation of “software-defined” enterprise and data center software and the power of native Linux-based toolsets to create flexible network architectures, said IP Infusion.

Today, enterprises with very large data centers need to lower their capital expenditures and operating costs, but they still need to keep their traditional networking components while they transition to new disruptive networking technologies, such as the Open Compute Project. OcNOS empowers customers to fulfill the promise of a software-defined network data center and represents a fundamental shift in how service providers will build their large-scale data centers with their specific requirements in mind without being locked in with one vendor.
