Next-generation networking

The newest switches and gateways have the power to run Snappy Ubuntu Core and on top of it, snappy networking applications. That’s why the OS can now be installed as a development Linux kernel for both whitebox and OCP switch designs. As a result, ODMs, Network Operating System vendors and whitebox resellers can all offer products running Ubuntu — in many cases, the same OS their customers are running on their servers and OpenStack clouds.

[Ubuntu Core] will enable Industrial Internet Consortium members to more easily build secure distributed systems for the industrial Internet of Things.

Richard Soley, Executive Director of the Industrial Internet Consortium

Enterprise-grade, industry hardened

Ubuntu's widespread deployment in enterprise datacentres sets the stage for its entry to industrial control and management systems.

The world’s fastest Xeon server, alongside massively multi-core ARM CPUs such as Thunder from Cavium, are all equally well supported by Snappy Ubuntu Core. From high-end server appliances that power the next generation of switches and routers, to hyperscale container-oriented infrastructure and rack-centric transcoding engines, Snappy Ubuntu Core supports the widest range of server-class silicon for appliance designers and developers — and it’s widely accepted in enterprise datacentres too.
