OpenWare

Multi-level military-grade security delivers the optimum application-dependent balance between protecting data and preventing unauthorized access on the one hand and accessibility and usability on the other.

OpenWare benefits from over 20 years of continuous development, and is field-proven in thousands of mission-critical installations around the world - even in space. At Abaco, dependability comes built-in.

In life or death situations, a switch boot time that’s measured in minutes is unacceptable. OpenWare delivers all the benefits of a fully managed switch but with a boot time measurable in seconds.

OpenWare was developed by Abaco’s Networking Innovation Center – and those same developers stand ready to modify management / security interfaces, protocols, or anything else to meet almost any network requirement.

GNU/Linux-based architecture blends open source network switching and routing with Abaco’s experience and expertise in advanced network management to deliver the best of both worlds.

Based on industry standard layer 2/3 network protocols, management and security technology, OpenWare-based switches are compatible with existing network infrastructures for maximum deployability.

Ethernet Switches come in many different guises, and fulfill many different roles. But, apart from very simple plug-n-play devices, they all require some management software to configure and control them.

Abaco’s unique OpenWare switch management software provides an extensive, powerful and flexible feature set that, together with our 30+ years of experience, means we can solve our customers’ toughest networking problems.
