Asterfusion Data Technologies

Recently, the “2022 China Optical Communication High Quality Development Forum — -All-Optical Data Center Online Seminar” hosted by  China International Optoelectronic Exposition   ( CIOE ) and   C114   came to an end. Mingyu Li , vice president and head of R&D department of Asterfusion, gave a speech with the theme of “ Open Source Technology promotes high-quality evolution of Open Network “, which elaborated how open source technology promotes high-quality evolution of network from the perspective of network equipment. Open Source promotes high-quality evolution of Open Network At the seminar, Mingyu Li, said that the network plays a key role in the stable operation of the data center, and open source and open networks are undoubtedly the big trend of the industry in recent years. With the gradual development of applications hosted by data centers from Monolithic architecture to cloud native architecture, various open source network technologies have been widel...

  In the 5G era, our network infrastructure faces new challenges:​ massive endpoints, ultra-high bandwidth and extreme low latency. For nowadays, network latency (delay) is no longer a strange term to most people, we often hear the word “network latency,” so what is network latency?  What causes the network delay?  How do you test your network ‘s latency and how to ultimately resolve it?  This article will explore the above questions.   What is Network Latency? In networking terms,  network latency = network delay Network latency is a design and performance characteristic of telecommunication networks.  It specifies the delay at which some data is transferred from one communication endpoint to another over the network.  It is usually measured in multiples or fractions of seconds. Therefore, the lower the latency of the network, the faster the speed. So, if you need a high-speed connection, make sure your network ...

  What is ONIE Open networks install environment (ONIE) is an open source “install environment” and network operating system installer. It is widely used by white-box switch vendors to load a network OS onto its switches.  Essentially, ONIE is a Linux-based small operating system, which can boot on the switch and discovers installer images available on the local network, while being able to transfer the appropriate image to the switch and then offer an installation environment. Thus, the installer can load the network operating system on to the switch. Nowadays, ONIE is used by a number of different vendors and has got wide acceptance in the white box networking fields. The History of ONIE ONIE was incubated and open sourced by Cumulus in 2013.  In May 2013, Cumulus engineers presented and demonstrated ONIE at the Open Compute Project (OCP) symposium at MIT, which aroused great repercussions. After the workshop, in June 2014, the OCP Incubation Committee officially i...
