Security News > 2020 > March > SoftIron HyperSwitch: Built to maximize the flexibility of an open source network OS

The leader in purpose-built and performance-optimized data center appliances, announced the availability of the HyperSwitch, its next-generation top-of-rack switch built to maximize the performance and flexibility of SONiC, an open source network operating system built by Microsoft for scale-out performance networking.

HyperSwitch units add power and extensibility by including an AMD EPYC Embedded 3000 Processor that can be used flexibly by network operators for network security applications such as firewalls, or for dedicated storage managers, and virtually any other software desired for custom networking operations.

The HyperSwitch family is built with the task-specific purpose of maximally leveraging the power of SONiC, an open sourced network operating system pioneered by Microsoft for their Azure cloud platform.

Simplified performance networking built on open source SONiC. The SoftIron HyperSwitch family of switches are purpose built to address next generation network automation, including real-time visibility and switch table state modification for hyperscale data centers.

Designed for maximizing price-performance efficiency and reducing TCO using network scale multi-die package technology, the HyperSwitch family is built for large scale service and performance, wire-speed across every port, and simplified core networking functionality that can be customized and easily upgraded or transferred.
