Vyatta2.0 releases brocade betting on SDN

Brocade announces the launch of the second generation of Open Source SDN controller, which is based on the lithium version of Opendaylight and adds two new management applications, enhancing support for SDN operations.

Brocade claims that the Vyatta controller is a commercial version of the Opendaylight controller, which is upgraded on a vyatta basis, focusing on increased support for OpenStack, enhanced virtualization networking capabilities, and increased scalability and manageability. Brocade adds a new GUI to the management software, creating a consistent user interface for controller and management apps that is easy for users to use.

Currently, the controller and the new topology management and traffic management are available, users can download the controller for free and get 60 days of technical support, but each of the nodes each year to charge a product license fee of $100. Topology management apps free and traffic management apps charge $40 per node each year.

When companies such as Brocade's rivals Cisco, Juniper, and Arista try to integrate proprietary software with open APIs, open source software, and traditional hardware, brocade is ready to make everything open source. The decline in brocade storage network services has led to a significant decline in turnover, and SDN is an important opportunity for brocade to break through. So brocade strongly advocates opendaylight, trying to become Opendaylight's "Red Hat". Brocade strengthens open source code for critical business networks and then feeds the improved code back into open source projects to drive the development of open source projects. In the process, Brocade's main revenue approach is to provide consulting, testing, customization and other services.
