Fast-growing OpenDaylight-focused company upgrades membership to Gold level
SAN FRANCISCO, September 20, 2016–The OpenDaylight Project, the leading open source platform for programmable, software-defined networks, today announced that Inocybe Technologies is expanding its commitment to the project to the Gold level. Inocybe Technologies, a networking solutions provider committed to creating an open SDN and NFV ecosystem, joins members Citrix and NEC at the Gold level.
As early adopters of OpenDaylight and active participants in the community, Inocybe Technologies has made OpenDaylight a cornerstone of its business. The company leverages the platform as the foundation for numerous SDN deployments spanning a variety of industries, including healthcare, financial services, smart cities and industrial controls. With enterprise demand for greater service velocity on the rise, Inocybe recently announced a partnership with Oracle to support Oracle Solaris for the cloud. Inocybe also recently partnered with Avaya to create a new benchmark to improve scalability and Internet of Things (IoT) deployments. The OpenDaylight-based solution allows Avaya to manage and secure up to 168,000 devices.
“OpenDaylight is maturing in large part thanks to the foresight and creativity of our community. Inocybe’s strong leadership, innovation and deepened investment in OpenDaylight reflects growing interest in Open SDN from enterprises and government organizations,” said Neela Jacques, Executive Director of OpenDaylight. “It is great to see Inocybe having such strong success partnering with enterprises, service providers and governments to build ODL-based solutions ”
Inocybe provides the software, services, training and support that organizations need to run OpenDaylight. At the center of their offering is Inocybe’s Open Networking Platform that enables organizations to create use-case specific, commercial-grade OpenDaylight controllers or agents through a full CI/CD pipeline, with support for production deployments.
“OpenDaylight provides the open SDN building blocks needed to transform the industry. Using OpenDaylight, we’re able to build network solutions for customers who are burdened with logistical networking issues associated with a rapidly transforming industry,” said CEO Mathieu Lemay of Inocybe Technologies. “We’re proud to be a leading player and top committer in the OpenDaylight community and look forward to the continued innovation that a stronger investment in the project will bring.”
Inocybe Technologies and other members will join hundreds of users, developers and SDN community leaders who are attending the annual OpenDaylight Summit, Sept. 27-29 at the Meydenbauer Center in Seattle.
