RtBrick has released a trial version of its disaggregated routing software available free of charge. Based on a virtual machine image, the trial supports customer evaluations to gain familiarity with product aspects such as command-line interface and API components, without needing to purchase a physical open switch to run the software from. The virtualised image is designed to emulate likely performance of RtBrick's platform in the end user's own network environment, including the fundamental architecture, automation capabilities and operational workflows.

Further information on the trial programme is available from RtBrick directly. The company specialises in multi-service edge routing software that facilitates carrier-grade deployments from commodity hardware, with potential to reduce spend while unlocking cloud-native functionality through containerisation.
