Overview

Our client, a leading OEM provider in network hardware, aims to expand its product offerings to include packet brokers specifically designed for edge branches. Having previously focused on network visibility equipment, the provider decided to innovate by creating their own hardware. However, the client now faces the challenge of seamlessly integrating a reliable and compatible software solution with their Broadcom-based hardware. Their primary goals are to find an open networking OS to minimize costs, and rapidly launch new hardware products tailored for edge and campus networks.

Challenges

The client faced the challenge of integrating a compatible and scalable NOS with their own custom hardware, which used Broadcom chipsets. They needed a solution that could handle Layer 2/3 networking, support IPv6, and manage increasing data speeds. Ensuring that the software would perform reliably across different hardware platforms and provide ongoing support and updates was crucial for their success.

Solutions

Our team collaborated closely with the client to integrate PicOS® into their key line product hardware, targeting their new product line for edge and campus networks. We began by rigorously testing PicOS® on their Broadcom-based systems, ensuring it met all technical requirements such as Layer 2/3, IPv4/6, VXLAN support, and data speeds from 1G upwards. Throughout this process, our engineering and support teams collaborated extensively with the client’s technical staff to troubleshoot and fine-tune the software for optimal performance.

This comprehensive integration ensured that the client could swiftly deploy their product line with confidence. Flexibility and scalability were core to our approach, allowing the client to meet market demands efficiently. In addition, continuous technical support was provided to maintain stability and performance over time. Regular updates and feature enhancements were implemented to keep the client’s products competitive and adaptable to future market changes.

By opting for PicOS®, the client significantly reduced the need for in-house software development, which translated into substantial cost savings and faster time-to-market. The robust performance and compatibility of PicOS® ensured their product line met customer expectations, giving them a competitive edge in the networking industry.

Results
