Linux Foundation starts OPEN-O Project for open source orchestrators
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com The Linux Foundation has used the Mobile World Congress this week in Barcelona to announce its intent to form the OPEN-Orchestrator Project (OPEN-O). The project will seek to develop the first open source software framework and orchestrator to enable software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) operations. [ Continue reading…]
Should You Be Worried About Bending A Fiber Cable?
No Commentsby www.fiber-mart.com Fiber wires lose light no matter what. They have a db/km loss rate, this is subject matter we have covered in my other blog on Split Ratio & Budget Light Loss. But, did you know your bend radius could affect the db loss of a fiber cable? [ Continue reading…]
