VyOS Supermicro Bare Metal Solution

Supermicro is a global leader in high performance, high efficiency server technology that develops and provides end-to-end green computing solutions for data center, cloud computing, enterprise IT, big data, HPC and embedded computing markets.

Having initially released the CloudDC servers and with an already strong position in 5G infrastructure, Supermicro provides customers with optimized next-generation systems from the edge to the cloud. This combination demonstrates Supermicro’s continuing focus on x86-based systems and support for open-source NFV (network functions virtualization) compliant solutions leveraging NEBS and off-the-shelf telco software powered by its server and storage Building Block Solutions®.

These new systems support the industry’s movement toward open-source software and x86 disaggregated hardware, and are ideal for harsh outdoor environments.

New features promoted by VyOS significantly widen the scope of capability – from repurposing current hardware to quickly scaling and provisioning networking services in network management. VyOS can be deployed on all bare-metal and virtual networking platforms which support standard industry protocols.

From energy efficient small Atom-based platforms to multi-socket multi-core powerhouses. Simply utilize the bare-metal ISO installation method and you’re done!
Unlike general-purpose Linux distributions, VyOS uses “image installation” that mimics the user experience of traditional hardware routers and allows keeping multiple VyOS versions installed simultaneously. This makes it possible to switch to a previous version if something breaks or misbehaves after an image upgrade.
