Description
Cisco NX-OS is a powerful operating system designed for data centers, focusing on improving network agility, scalability, and security. Its adaptable architecture accommodates advanced technologies like Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) paired with Ethernet VPN (EVPN), which facilitates effortless scalability and effective traffic handling. The platform streamlines network management and operations through rapid provisioning and comprehensive oversight, supported by the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) and open APIs that promote automation. Enhanced security measures include end-to-end network segmentation and robust encryption protocols such as MACsec and RADsec, which safeguard data integrity and privacy. Furthermore, Cisco NX-OS is fine-tuned for high-performance applications, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, boasting non-blocking networks and ultra-low latency switches designed to manage intensive workloads efficiently. This makes it an ideal choice for organizations seeking to optimize their data center operations while maintaining top-tier security and performance.
Description
Open vSwitch is a high-quality, multilayer virtual switch that operates under the open-source Apache 2.0 license. It is specifically engineered to facilitate extensive network automation through programming extensions, while still accommodating standard management interfaces and protocols such as NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, RSPAN, CLI, LACP, and 802.1ag. Additionally, it is built to allow distribution across various physical servers, akin to VMware's vNetwork distributed vSwitch or Cisco's Nexus 1000V. Open vSwitch is implemented in numerous products and is utilized in many substantial production environments, some of which are extraordinarily large. Each stable version undergoes rigorous testing, including a regression suite that consists of hundreds of system-level tests and thousands of unit tests. Furthermore, alongside OVS, the Open vSwitch community actively develops the OVN project, which enhances OVS by providing native support for virtual network abstractions, such as virtual L2 and L3 overlays and security groups. This commitment to continuous improvement ensures that Open vSwitch remains a robust solution for network virtualization in diverse settings.
