ONE Summit 2024

Event Summary: DENT at KubeCon + Cloud Native Con + Open Source Summit + AI_dev 2024

By Announcements, Blog

DENT recently served as a Silver Sponsor of Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s (CNCF) flagship event, KubeCon + Cloud Native Con + Open Source Summit + AI_dev 2024, held in Hong Kong. This was a unique opportunity for the DENT community to engage with some of the brightest minds and leading technologists in the open source and cloud native ecosystem. KubeCon is a nexus for open source developers, AI/ML specialists, and community leaders to collaborate and exchange ideas that will shape the future of open source technologies. 

DENT’s onsite presence included project staff and expert representatives from Edgecore Networks and Keysight Technologies. DENT joined the diverse open source ecosystem as an exhibitor, engaging with the community and offering switch demonstrations, courtesy of Edgecore Networks.

Attendees were able to explore DENT’s mission and the exciting technological advancements we’re spearheading. DENT is grateful for the opportunity to showcase its vendor-ready NOS offerings to a primarily Asia Pacific demographic that may have been unfamiliar with DENT and our mission. DENT cherishes any opportunity to demonstrate the value of disaggregated enterprise networks and share a glimpse into the future of DENT 4.0. 

The team also highlighted the innovative use of virtualization with the SAI virtual switch in DentOS, proving how DENT enables streamlined development and testing without the need for physical hardware. This solution is paving the way for enhanced flexibility and efficiency in networking, allowing developers and enterprises to simulate complex environments in a virtualized space.

What’s Next?

As we reflect on KubeCon 2024, we are excited to advance our work fostering collaboration across diverse sectors. DENT’s participation in this event reaffirms our commitment to driving the future of open networking and empowering developers and enterprises alike with cutting-edge solutions.

Event Summary: DENT at ONE Summit 2024

By Announcements, Blog

The Linux Foundation hosted ONE Summit 2024 in San Jose, CA from April 29–May 1, 2024. ONE Summit is the ONE industry event to focus on best practices, technical challenges and business opportunities facing network decision-makers from Access to Edge to Cloud. Whether deploying a 5G network, building government infrastructure, or using automation and networking to transform your business, this collaborative environment enabled interaction with peers to learn about the open source networking technologies that will transform the industry.

DENT sponsored ONE Summit 2024, allowing the DENT community to interact with the broader open source networking community. DENT hosted a booth staffed by representatives from Amazon, Keysight, PLVision, Sartura, and The Linux Foundation. Attendees learned about DENT’s mission, community presence, components, benefits, role as an embedded operating system, deployed DENT platforms, DentOS v3 Cynthia, DentOS v4 and beyond.

Further, the DENT Community presented two sessions at the event. Taskin Ucpinar, Senior Technical Program Manager at Amazon, discussed DENT’s Features Roadmap for Disaggregated Enterprise Networks. Ucpinar explained how the DENT community envisions unifying the community of Silicon Vendors, ODMs, SI, and OEMs to provide and enhance Distributed Enterprise Edge functionality, enable wider adaptation of disaggregated enterprise networks, and cover expanded use cases.

Then, Taras Choryni, PLVision’s Director of Open Networking Solutions and Strategy, spoke about the SAI Virtual Switch in DentOS. In his presentation, Chornyi explained the experience of using the SONiC SAI Virtual Switch in DentOS. Throughout the development and testing phases of NOS, DENT leverages virtualization to simulate a streamlined yet authentic data center switch environment. This approach allows comprehensive testing of the control plane applications without the need for physical hardware. By enabling the virtual switch, users gain the power to emulate multiple switches in complex networking setups in virtual environments. This offers businesses the flexibility to streamline their development and testing even before a fully deployed physical device is available. 

Videos of both sessions will be available soon.
