“We are no longer forced to adapt our network to the limitations of the physical world. We aren’t restricted by the different features of each box. We simply pick the best form-factor and ports required for any location and everything is available to us.”
“Disaggregation is now a reality. For the first time we’re producing a BNG on Whitebox hardware and are using software-defined networking technology to control that gateway. That’s a hugely important step toward our broadband network’s future structure.”
“Deploying a different switch vendor for core and edge illustrates the complete flexibility of a disaggregated network. We can pick the switch that best meets our needs as well as the best routing NOS (Network Operating System) for the job we need it to do.”
“We’ve only found a few router vendors that you could describe as ‘automation friendly’ and RtBrick is the best of the pack. It was very simple for us to automate our operations using the RtBrick software, without needing to spend time working around vendor limitations.”
