Communications service providers are transitioning their
networks from traditional Central Offices to virtualized data
centers in order to meet demand for real-time service delivery
while saving capital and operating expense. This migration from
purpose-built systems to software-based applications running on
commercially available infrastructure is driving a broader
ecosystem that is increasingly using open source software and open
hardware solutions. The Radisys and Pentair collaboration has
resulted in Radisys’ DCEngine product offering, which integrates
Schroff’s ServCite open rack-scale hardware solution, enabling
service providers with the infrastructure to deliver an agile
software-driven approach to deploying new services quickly.
“Radisys’ strategy is to enable the telecom industry to deploy
software-centric networks that leverage open source hardware and
software and we look to work with partners that share our vision,”
said Brian Bronson, president and CEO, Radisys. “Pentair shares our
commitment to agile hardware development and our teams worked
closely together to provide Radisys’ customers with our new open
rack-scale infrastructure systems rapidly. With our strategic
collaboration with Pentair for our open hardware design, combined
with our open software integration experience and professional
service capabilities, we believe that Radisys is uniquely
positioned to offer open rack-scale platform solutions for
next-generation telecom data centers.”
“There is a robust open source ecosystem developing that will
drive the future of next-gen networks, and Schroff is embracing
this new model,” said Daniel Stirpe, vice president and general
manager, Schroff. “Radisys is an agile and flexible partner, and
our collaboration together highlights what a model partner
relationship should look like with the resulting delivery of a new
open source rack-level solution that meets the specific needs of
communications service providers. We’re pleased to collaborate with
Radisys to contribute this innovative technology to the open source
community.”
