[Blog] Open Compute Project Foundation's ONL: Next-gen Network OS (NOS) Architecture based on Open Network Linux (ONL) via Prashant Gandhi, Chief Product Officer at Big Switch:
"The rapid adoption of open networking and software/hardware disaggregation is causing a renaissance in the networking industry, which has largely been devoid of innovation during the past two decades. The adoption of Ethernet & IP networking in the 90’s helped standardize the protocol stack, making networking devices easy to interoperate, improve agility and reduce cost. However, for the last two decades, networking software and hardware have architecturally remained about the same, and proprietary systems have led to vendor lock-in, lack of innovation & operational agility and prohibitive economics. The computing world, on the other hand, adopted open source software and industry-standard hardware which helped drive tremendous innovations we are witnessing today."
