TRY FOR FREE How Cumulus Linux Works Explore the NVIDIA® Cumulus® Linux architecture, which allows you to automate, customize, and scale your data center like no other NOS. Why Choose Cumulus Linux? Complete Standardization Reduce complexities and benefit from complete interoperability across your entire data center with Linux. Network Protection Get additional levels of security, exclusive to Cumulus Linux, in addition to industry-standard security features. Flexible Open Architecture Create open and scalable networks enabled by standards-based protocols, combined with the freedom of Linux. Reduced OpEx Use the existing Linux-based management tools and talent, and benefit from the ability to assign more switches per engineer. Built for Automation First Get the most comprehensive end-to-end automation for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflows. Faster IT Delivery Easily leverage native integration and best-of-breed tools for automation, monitoring, analytics, and more. What makes Cumulus Linux unique? FIND OUT What You Get with Cumulus Linux Key Features and Benefits Unnumbered Interfaces: Benefit from a simplified Internet Protocol (IP) approach for Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) with just one IP template for leaf nodes and one for spine nodes. Redistribute Neighbor (RDNBR): Get virtual machine (VM) and host mobility by plugging your server into any RDNBR switch and making it Layer 3-discoverable on the fabric. Prescriptive Topology Manager (PTM): Efficiently go from whiteboard to physical cable. With PTM, you can program your data center to verify connections and resolve issues faster. RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE): Realize blazing fast speeds and the lowest latencies with RoCE implementation that’s ready with just one line of code. Virtual Routing and Forwarding: Run multiple network paths without the need for multiple switches, giving you traffic isolation and network segmentation for multiple devices. Ethernet Virtual Private Networks (EVPN): Get the most advanced capabilities available for EVPN and allow legacy Layer 2 applications to operate over next-generation Layer 3 networks. NVIDIA User Experience (NVUE): Opt for an API-driven management model that gives you the ability to unify your network management and deployments with the rest of the data center. Scale Enhancements: Take advantage of multiple VNIs that can be mapped to a single Linux “device,” with bridges that support thousands of tunnels. Differentiation through Cumulus Linux Disaggregation: The open architecture using a Linux operating model unlocks the stack. Native Security: From OpenSSH to authentication, Cumulus Linux keeps your switches secure. Actionable Telemetry: NVIDIA NetQ provides powerful visibility into the status and health of the network, improving time-to-resolution and more. Unified stack: With a unified operating model across compute and network, you'll reduce complexities and get guaranteed interoperability. Software Driven: Our software writes directly to the silicon, giving you a software-driven and hardware-accelerated approach. Abstracted Visualization: NVIDIA Air enables you to create a replica of your network in the cloud so you can validate and prototype any change or addition to your network.
