October 18 2022 - 5:40PM
Celestica Inc. (TSX: CLS) (NYSE: CLS), a leader in design,
manufacturing, and supply chain solutions for the world’s most
innovative companies, today launched its DS1000 high-performance
Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 switch, a compact, resilient,
cost-effective, open network switch. The company also announced it
will release the DS1000 into the open source domain as their
first-ever contribution to the OCP Enterprise Connectivity
Solutions (ECS) group, at this week’s 2022 Open Compute Project
(OCP) Summit.
The DS1000 switch is the newest addition to Celestica’s Hardware
Platform Solutions (HPS) portfolio of cutting-edge storage,
compute, networking, and webscale solutions. It features 48 x
10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports and 8 SFP+ ports within a 1U form factor
for data center and enterprise-class access deployments. It is
based on the Broadcom Trident-3 chipset, with an on-board 4-core
Intel-based CPU module.
The DS1000 is optimized for:
- 1GbE Data Center Top of Rack
- Enterprise Edge/Access
- Management Switch Use Cases
- Open and Third-Party Network Operating Systems
Celestica, a long-time member of the OCP community, incorporated
an Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) installer in the DS1000
to support open and third-party network operating systems.
Bijan Nowroozi, Chief Technology Officer for the Open Compute
Project Foundation, said, "We are excited to see Celestica’s design
contribution of their DS1000 1GbE access switch to the OCP
Enterprise Connectivity Solutions sub-project in the Networking
Project. It’s great that it’s both powerful and compact, making it
extensible for the data center and the Edge, and uses OCP's ONIE, a
fantastic interface to the platform hardware that enables booting
into open and third party network operating systems. Celestica
continues to demonstrate its commitment to OCP and the open-source
network community, helping OCP to drive innovation and open
networking in the Enterprise.”
“Celestica is committed to propelling open networking into the
enterprise edge,” said Gavin Cato, Head and CTO, Hardware Platform
Solutions, Celestica. “As a key contributor to this rapidly growing
global community, Celestica has collaborated with some of the
leaders in the open source environment to develop ground-breaking
designs that were used in some of OCP’s earliest platforms. Today,
we continue to innovate and contribute to empowering the
open-source community.”
