IP Infusion’s OcNOS For Your 400G Data Center Upgrade

Data center upgrade to 400G is accelerating! You are upgrading your data center network to 400G to meet the demand for higher bandwidth driven by data heavy applications and increased backhaul traffic volumes for 5G and edge computing.

OcNOS liberates data centers from the scale limitations of traditional Layer 2 based fabric with the most advanced EVPN-VxLAN technology bringing in flexibility and operational-ease.

IP Infusion provides world-class 24×7 tech support as well as comprehensive product documentation available online.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Savings

IP Infusion’s OCNOS solution can save you up to 50% TCO over a 3-year duration compared to traditional solutions like those from Arista Networks.

Upgrading to 400G helps simplify network design and reduces operational cost by delivering the speeds and feeds in a 1 Rack Unit (1RU) form factor. This results in savings on space, cabling and energy costs. By 2025, 400G optical transceiver shipments in data centers are expected to surpass 100G, giving 400G cabling a better economy of scale.

Advanced EVPN-VxLAN Data Center Solution

IP Infusion’s 400G EVPN-VxLAN data center solution provides high scalability, traffic engineering and fault isolation benefits by leveraging BGP and ECMP. This yields in faster network capacity growth with horizontal scaling.

Data center upgrade is not just limited to data center fabric. IP Infusion’s OcNOS 400G router platforms deliver the added benefit of supporting QSFP-DD based 400G ZR/ZR+ optics for Data Center Interconnect (DCI).

Emerging long-haul pluggable coherent optics enables IPoDWDM for DCI up to hundreds of kilometers.

OcNOS supports Open 400G ZR/ZR+ optics from leading vendors such as Ciena, SmartOptics, NEC, Hisense, Fujitsu and Coherent.

Additional details on the optics supported in OcNOS are available here.

Network Automation and Orchestration Integration

As networks grow, monitoring and manageability via automation is critical to the ease of operation. IP Infusion provides convenient tools to integrate OcNOS with network automation and orchestration tools.

The following is a list of IP Infusion’s network automation, orchestration and management integration support that provides flexibility:
