Openswitch robbed linux++ of the Thunder.

As it developers and small and medium-sized software companies have always benefited from the open source community and open source projects, my first contact with Linux based on the GNU program is that we can use or publish the source code as long as we comply with the GNU GPL. Later, in the work and learning process, we contacted many open source communities (open source, China unix.net, etc.), open source Projects (Hadoop, OpenStack, etc.) and foundations supporting open source projects (such as the Apache Software Foundation).

From IBM's OpenPOWER program, Cisco Open source Big Data framework OPENSOC, EMC releases open source initiatives such as VIPR Controller Project COPRHD and Greenplum Chorus to big it vendors embracing OpenStack, OpenFlow and other projects to provide their own solutions this series of actions, the open-source strategy has been deeply rooted, and go into the public view.

On the one hand, the success of open source projects such as Linux and OpenStack allows us to see the strong vitality and ecological environment of open source projects, on the other hand, customers in the process of it construction also consider protecting investment, avoid being locked down by the manufacturer.

Openswitch NOS release

To cater to the trend of open source, HP and partners recently released a new open source network operating system (NOS), which is openswitch. The operating system is maintained by the Openswitch Open source community, comprising HP and Accton technology (Accton Technology), Broadcom (Broadcom), Intel, and VMware. This open source software is a collaborative effort by professional community developers to promote innovation, allowing developers to optimize network engineering for critical business functions and significantly improve user experience; Create better, higher quality, more secure network operating systems.

What is Openswitch nos?

Traditional networks are based on a closed, private, and vertically integrated model. This closed model does not allow users, or other software and partners, to be reformed and cropped, and cannot be improved according to specific business requirements. An open source, NOS, is based on opening standards, allowing developers to prioritize business-critical workflows and features to provide users with a dynamic and improved experience. Network-based open NOS eliminates interoperability issues and eliminates the issue of authorization structures inherent to proprietary mode. Openswitch the characteristics of NOS mainly include:

• Provides support for the L2/L3 protocol

• Persistent and ephemeral configuration based on open source cloud database

• All inter-module communication is done through the System State database

• Provides common API methods: CLI, REST, Puppet/chef, Ansible

• Openswitchnos can be used on HP's Altoline Open network switch

Deferred linux++ plan

Last year HP presented a new computer architecture Themachine in the Discover Conference conference, with hardware technologies such as silicon Light (Silicon photonics) communication links, memory resistor (memristor), etc. And will develop a paired machine OS operating system (Carbon). which

• Silicon photon communication is a communication link that replaces traditional copper wire with light with high-speed transmission characteristics.

• The memristor replaces SRAM and DRAM to form Universal memory (Universalmemory), which provides faster performance.

The future will be used in mobile computing devices such as servers, workstations, PCs or mobile phones and tablet computers.

To get researchers and programmers to know how the machine works in advance, HP will release the linux++ operating system in 2015. linux++ can emulate the machine hardware design software and other tools that will allow programmers to test the code. In the farther future, when themachine matures, linux++ will eventually be replaced by the newly designed operating system carbon.

but the linux++ operating system, which was originally planned for June 2015, hasn't surfaced yet. Faced with new technologies, development and testing are a big challenge, and it is estimated that the linux++ operating system, machine OS beta and the machine product will be postponed.
