Force10 Networks, a company engaged in building and securing reliable networks, has announced that its modular operating system FTOS is now available across its reliable networking portfolio of switch/routers, bringing consistency, stability and flexibility to the enterprise network.
With support for a common interface across the TeraScale E-Series, C-Series and S-Series, Force10 is enabling customers to reduce their total cost of ownership by simplifying management, reducing unplanned downtime and optimizing application availability.
The company claims that with roots in high performance data centers, Force10 leveraged its experience in these demanding environments to build FTOS, a modular, reliable operating system. By extending a common interface across its product portfolio to create Unified FTOS, Force10 brings stability and consistency to the network. Additionally, with a single management system across all switch/routers, Force10 enables customers to streamline management as well as upgrade and troubleshoot processes to lower the total cost of network ownership.
In addition to providing a reliable foundation for FTOS, the modular architecture also enables rapid integration of third party applications and functions into the operating system. By simplifying integration of third party applications, Force10 can speed time to market with new services. FTOS also includes an XML interface that allows Force10 to integrate with third-party systems to automate network functions, allowing enterprises to augment the benefits of a best-of-breed network with automation.
