Networking software supplier Lumina Networks has announced that it’s moving into the software-defined networking (SDN) market after acquiring assets associated with the SDN Controller product family from Brocade Communications Systems. The acquisition means the company can now offer its SDN Controller product along with applications and Network Development (NetDev) services to bring open software networking out of the lab and into production networks.
Using OpenDaylight as its preferred open source controller, Lumina said service providers will be able to directly control their SDN implementations while providing the flexibility to develop their own solutions through their choice of vendors, thus eliminating lock-in. The company added that it will contribute enhancements made to its SDN Controller back to the open source community to ensure 100 percent compatibility with OpenDaylight’s code base
