Open Network Install Environment Lab Opens

The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) opened the first ONIE certification lab.

ONIE is an industry standard network boot loader for installing software on network switches.

“With each new platform and chipset, there is a significant amount of development work that is involved to ensure compatibility. ONIE certification and compliance leverages best practices to validate this process in the most expedient way possible,” said Carlos Cardenas, Associate Director, Cloud and Big Data Lab, UTSA. “We are pleased to launch the certification lab as the demand for standardization and reliability across the entire data center ecosystem – from servers to switches and now networking – becomes standard protocol.”
