Big Switch Networks, the next-gen data center networking company, leads contributions to Open Network Linux (ONL), which has been part of the Open Compute Project (OCP) since March 2014. ONL is an open-source Linux distribution for open networking switching hardware platforms with a unique architecture for pluggable 'forwarding agent' software. Hyper-scale data center operators and networking vendors are benefiting from the breadth of available open networking hardware by packaging ONL with their own innovative forwarding agents to build in-house and commercial available Network Operating Systems.  Today, ONL’s hardware compatibility list has more than 35 white/brite-box switching hardware platforms, including OCP’s Wedge, and models from Accton, Delta Networks, Dell EMC, Mellanox, Quanta, and more. ONL has accelerated networking innovation as well as end-user acceptance of open networking solutions. Big Switch Networks is a Gold member of OCP. To learn more about ONL: https://opennetlinux.org/
