Macnica Network OS Remote Verification Service Overview
This is a service that remotely provides network engineers with an environment in which they can test and verify open networks.
It enables verification of network OS operability, and tests combining network OSs, white Box switches, and optical transceivers (optical modules) from different manufacturers.
Do you have any problems?
- "I'm worried about the operability of the open source network OS"
- “I would like to use a white Box switch or a non-genuine transceiver, but I do not have the budget or the time.”
- "I'm interested in open networking, but I don't have an environment where I can touch it."
We have heard this kind of feedback from many customers.
“We would like to remotely provide a place where everyone in Japan can easily try it out. We would like to lower the threshold of openness and help you optimize your network.”
This service was born from the passion of such engineers.
