ADLINK Technology, Inc., a global provider of advanced Edge Computing products, will be featuring the Open Compute Project (OCP) carrier grade CG-OpenRack-19 solution at the OCP Summit in Booth 12 on March 20-21 in San Jose, CA.

The OCP-ACCEPTED OpenRack, OpenSled configuration marks a significant milestone in the evolution of OCP CG-OpenRack-19 as it continues the expansion of OCP-CG open architectures. The specification offers telecom data center operators the benefits of open platform standards combined with the needed carrier-grade and environmental enhancements required for Edge Computing in telecom data center environments.

The open system approach drives innovation in the market and allows operators to avoid vendor lock-in that comes with propriety solutions. In addition, the multi-vendor solution offers seamless support across the sales and integration cycles.

The CG-OpenRack-19 specification is the result of OCP’s Telecom Working Group, which develops open architecture for carrier grade, frame-level solutions. The OCP-ACCEPTED OpenSled spec, based on ADLINK’s OCCERA (Open Compute Carrier-grade Edge Reference Architecture), enhances the original spec by providing definitions for the internal configuration options of the CG-OpenRack-19 sled, including options for key appliances to utilize additional components inside the sled.

The specification is designed mainly for network deployed products for telecom specific applications, for example: DPI, security, policy, media and transcoding.
