From Data Center to Campus Network, Asterfuion All in SONiC
Asterfusion is the only company on the market that leverages enterprise SONiC NOS (AsterNOS) to manage a full spectrum of data center and campus network switches. Our mission is to “Re-engineer the cloud networks”, with the intention of delivering the flexibility and convenience of open networks to both data centers and campus networks.
The New Generation Open Cloud Campus Network: Combination of Marvell ARM Architecture with SONiC NOS
Designed for the demands of the next generation of open cloud campus network, the CX–M series delivers managed layer 2, layer 3 switches with wire speed connectivity. The suite of platforms offers a variety of connection options for user desktops, POE appliances and IoT devices, which fulfill different deployment requirements from Small/medium business users, enterprises to carrier-level service providers.
All managed Layer2/Layer3 switches all come with Asterfusion in-house developed open AsterNOS software, which is an open source SONiC based, production-ready and feature rich NOS. It is a modular design and container-based application architecture, which makes the switch easy to expand new functionalities even by customers.
In addition, Asterfusion CX-M series offer high density ports with 1G Copper /10G SFP downlink ,25G SFP28 /100G QSFP unlink. Different products come with different port combinations, as well as PoE options, to meet market requirements, with the emphasis on scalability and flexibility.
