Over recent years, ‘cloud-native’ service providers have developed ways to build and run massive data centers with a high degree of automation, to reduce operational overheads and deliver levels of service agility beyond traditional carrier infrastructure.

RtBrick’s routing software brings these same benefits to Data Center Interconnect, by disaggregating software from hardware and applying the same battle-hardened DevOps cloud automation tools that have been adopted by the world’s biggest cloud providers.

The RtBrick Data Center Interconnect Router is delivered as a software container, running on the Open Network Linux (ONL) provided by the hardware manufacturers, which handles peripherals such as LEDs, temperature sensors, and so on.

The RtBrick routing software runs on low-cost but powerful open switches with low power consumption. It can easily scale down as well as up, by selecting the best open switch for your use-case.

RtBrick’s open BNG software delivers some significant benefits compared to traditional monolithic systems:

Greater Agility

Pick your optimum hardware to deliver the same services from small compact switches as from large multi-terabit-per-second devices.

Reduced risk

No more vendor lock-in or monopolistic supply constraints. Repurpose hardware when it's no longer needed. And benefit from the world’s fastest routing convergence times.

Lower cost-levels

RtBrick's software runs on powerful but low-cost open switches, with lower power consumed per gigabit than traditional routers.
