About Openarc Ltd
Open architecture has transformed Enterprise computing and underpins current cloud economics. Decoupling hardware from software (server, operating system, applications) stimulates innovation and competition, creating a diverse and rich choice of options. Storage and networking is now following the same path. Open architecture allows choice in hardware and software meaning you are no longer restricted by legacy solutions or cross-vendor incompatibility. This open ecosystem will appeal to Data Centre operators, Enterprises, Network Providers and Cloud Service providers who choose to exploit commodity hardware platforms and new virtualisation capabilities to improve flexibility and efficiency, and lower unit cost.
Open Networking offers Enterprises, data centres, network operators and cloud service providers with a new approach to building and operating networks. Networks have becomie increasingly complex and costly, and are difficult to configure and scale without a significant amount of proprietary and network specific tool sets being employed. Open networking deliverers an ‘open’ environment where the forwarding and control software is not ‘nailed’ into the host hardware. Customers can choose the hardware and software components they require for their business needs, whether that is a more cost effective alternative to their existing network, the ability to hyperscale for data centre intra connect, or a fully integrated cloud infrastructure utilising SDN and virtualisation technology.
Open Storage - The demand for storage capacity is growing at 30% every year, with Enterprises expected to account for 138 exabytes of storage system capacity in 2017, according to IDC. Enterprises need new storage management solutions that allow them to expand storage as needed instead of overbuying capacity. As storage consumes a growing share of IT budgets, the cost of maintaining excess capacity becomes material. Lean storage techniques include data de-duplication, data compression, thin provisioning and storage virtualization. New open storage management solutions allow choice in storage arrays and storage architecture, equally support block, file, and object, and efficiently scale, whilst supporting a range of workloads and consumer types.
Switches & Accessories - Openarc is a UK, Ireland and European outlet for Edge core L2 and L3 Switches, cabling, plug ins and miscellaneous power and other accessories. Accton manufacture these hardware platforms for almost all of the leading brands, including their wholly owned brand Edge-Core and can now supply directly to customers locally through Openarc. Whether you are interested in building out new private or public cloud infrastructure, replacing end of life switches in enterprise or metro, or growing capacity in an existing network, Openarc can provide high quality, high performance hardware competitively priced direct from the manufacturer.
