Best Software-Defined Networking Solutions for Linux of 2024

CruzOC is a multi-vendor, scalable network management and IT operations tool that provides robust but easy-to-use netops. CruzOC's integrated, automated management features include performance monitoring, configuration management, lifecycle management, and lifecycle management of 1000s of vendors. Administrators can use CruzOC to automate their data center operations and critical resources. This will improve network and service quality, speed up network deployments and lower operating expenses. The result is comprehensive and automated problem resolution from a single-pane-of-glass. Cruz Monitoring & Management. Monitoring & Analytics, NMS -- health, NPM traffic, log, and change. Automation & configuration management -- compliance and security -- orchestration, provisioning. Automated deployment -- auto-deploy, ZTP, remote deploy. Deployments are available both on-premises and in the cloud.

Cruz Fabric Controller provides true software-defined networking and control for managing fabrics in your remote data center, remote edges and remote sites. With a single-pane-of-glass, you can deploy and update fabrics, manage, monitor, maintain fabrics, and automate operations.

Trustgrid is the SD-WAN for software providers. The Trustgrid platform uniquely addresses the needs of SaaS application providers who rely on customer or partner-controlled environments. By combining an SD-WAN 2.0, edge computing, and zero trust remote access into a single platform we allow software providers to manage and support distributed application environments from the cloud to the edge. Simplify connectivity, enhance security, and guarantee network availability with Trustgrid.

DxOdyssey, lightweight software based on patented technology, allows you to create highly accessible application-level micro-tunnels across any combination of platforms and locations. It does this more quickly, securely, and discreetly than any other software on the market. DxOdyssey helps security administrators and networking professionals secure multi-site and multi-cloud operations. The network perimeter has changed. This is why DxOdyssey has created unVPN technology. Old VPN and direct link methods are difficult to maintain and open the entire network up to lateral movement. DxOdyssey uses a more secure approach. It gives users app-level access and not network-level access. This reduces the attack surface. It does all this using the most secure and performant approach to creating a Software Defined Perimeter to grant connectivity to distributed clients and apps running across multiple sites, clouds and domains.

ONAP is a platform that orchestrates, manages, and automates network and edge computing services. It is available for network operators, cloud providers, enterprises, and other organizations. The policy-driven, real-time orchestration and automation for physical and virtual network functions allows rapid automation of new services. This is critical for 5G networks and the next-generation. The Open Network Automation Platform Project (ONAP), brings together top global vendors and carriers with the goal to allow end users to automate, manage, design, orchestrate, and manage services and virtual functions. ONAP combines two major open-source orchestration and networking projects, open source ECOMP (open source ECOMP) and the Open Orchestrator Project OPEN-O. Its mission is to create a unified architecture, implement it, and support collaboration within the open source community. The ONAP Project is a Linux Foundation initiative.

Lumen SD-WAN Solutions allows you to unleash your network potential. It features automated security, optimized performance, and intelligent scalability to drive digital innovation.

Verge-OS is a unique operating system that abstracts functions such as storage, computing (hypervisor), networking and storage from commodity baremet hardware to create virtual data centres. We virtualize entire data centres, unlike our competitors who virtualize machines. All included. One license. All you need is one pane of glass. Verge-OS, a full-featured Software Defined Networking platform, includes a fully integrated firewall. Verge-OS abstracts the entire underlying hardware from the data center and integrates all these raw resources into its hypervisor. Verge-OS uses RAIN architecture in its virtual storage to make it more shareable, scalable, and distributed. erge-OS replaces your hypervisor, SAN and NAS software licenses. It also eliminates proprietary hardware maintenance agreements.

PICOS is a unique open NOS that allows network operators to have surgical, non-disruptive control over their enterprise applications. It also provides deep and dynamic traffic monitoring and attack mitigation in real-time. PICOS is the best way to implement zero trust networking and software-defined perimeters. Our flagship open network operating software installs on 1G-to 100G-interface open switches made by a wide range of Tier 1 manufacturers. This fully featured license provides the best support for enterprise features. It includes the Debian Linux distribution with an unmodified kernel to maximize DevOps programming capabilities. AmpCon, an Ansible based automation framework, is included in Enterprise Edition. It combines Zero-Touch Provisioning with the Open Network Install Environment to make it easier to install and operate open network switches throughout the enterprise.
