Open Packet Broker NOS

Open Packet Broker (OPB) stands out as the industry's pioneering software-based, containerized application, leveraging open-source SONiC. This enables monitoring and security tools to access network traffic, providing genuine disaggregation by enabling deployment according to the network operator's preferred Switch/ASIC hardware. OPB efficiently aggregates and filters your network data, channeling only pertinent information to your analytics tools - both modern and legacy. This scalable, cost-effective approach lets you move away from proprietary hardware towards open solutions. While OPB itself doesn't analyze data, it ensures optimal data delivery to your existing tools, enhancing their efficiency.
