New networking disaggregation model includes pre-integrated, fully supported networking software for private label distribution
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – June 15, 2016 - Avaya today announced its flagship networking operating system software is now available on industry standard hardware for specialized solutions providers. Avaya’s move enables managed service providers, cloud service providers, systems integrators, and data center hosting companies to apply their own brand to the Avaya network operating system software, which reinforces the quality that is expected within their own brand promise.
Avaya’s latest offering provides organizations with benefits including:
Today’s announcement marks the first phase of Avaya’s networking disaggregation model rollout, which is targeted at high density data center environments requiring platforms such as 64 port 40G or 32 port 100G. A member of the Open Compute Project, Avaya is building an ecosystem of partners to deliver an enterprise-ready networking solution.
To become a supplier of hardware, Original Device Manufacturers must be certified into the Avaya ecosystem. The first Original Device Manufacturer to certify for this program is Delta Networks, Inc., a leading Original Design Manufacturer from Taipei, Taiwan. As part of the Avaya’s ecosystem, Delta Networks Inc. will be selling standard switching platforms pre-loaded with Avaya’s network operating system.

Quotes “We find that customers are attracted by the promise of running third-party network software on standardized network hardware provided by multiple vendors, and they see benefits accruing from simplified management and reduced vendor lock-in. Many, though, do not want to compromise the service and support that typically accompanies purchases of vertically integrated switches. Avaya is responding to these concerns by offering the benefits of network disaggregation in conjunction with a support program that is familiar to enterprise and service-provider customers.” --Brad Casemore, director of Research for Data Center Networking at IDC
"As the leading mobile broadband services provider in China, Avaya’s solution is an ideal fit for us. As we look to grow our switching business, our customers trust our brand, and we trust Avaya's fabric technology and support services. This is a great partnership for both companies." --Mr. Zhao, CCT Software chairman and president of CCT Group (China Communications Technology)
“We have been watching the white-box market for some time waiting for a network operating system that was powerful and practical for end customers, and at the same time, would be manageable for us. Because Avaya’s network operating system is proven, innovative, and vendor-supported, we have confidence to sell the solution in a big way.” --Mr. Jeff Chen, president of Delta Networks, Inc.
“The disaggregation market for switching has been confined to hyper-scale data centers that have a large expert programming staff. With today’s news, Avaya is offering a high-value alternative with well-established software that’s been proven across millions of ports globally for nearly two decades. This is a disruptive move for Avaya that opens the door into markets where we haven’t sold to in the past.” --Liam Kiely, vice president, Avaya Networking
Avaya software will be offered exclusively through systems integrators certified in the program and qualifying for direct purchases with approved Original Device Manufacturers. For more information on becoming a certified partner or locating a partner in your market, please click here.
