SmartFabric OS10 and SFS

SmartFabric OS10 is a network operating system (NOS) supporting multiple architectures and environments. The SmartFabric OS10 solution allows multilayered disaggregation of network functionality. SmartFabric OS10 bundles industry-standard management, monitoring, and Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking stacks over CLI, SNMP, and REST interfaces. Users can choose their own third-party networking, monitoring, management, and orchestration applications. To develop scalable L2 and L3 networks, the SmartFabric OS10 delivers a modular and disaggregated solution in a single-binary image.

SFS is a SmartFabric OS10 feature that provides network fabric automation and API-based programming capabilities. SFS has different personalities that can be integrated with systems including VxRail, PowerScale, generic PowerEdge servers, PowerStore, storage, and MX servers. SFS integrated with these solution-specific deployments delivers autonomous fabric deployment, expansion, and life cycle management.

NOTE:Unless stated otherwise, all configurations that are provided in this document are applicable to SFS as well.
