The modern organization has data and users located everywhere. This is impacting the performance and security needs of IT networks across the globe, along with compelling user experiences and new revenue paths—all central to ‘digital transformation’. Networking technology plays a pivotal role in this digital transformation and among them, three networking transformations will disrupt our planet from 2020-2030: 5G, edge computing, and cloud native application development. Any one of these disruptions can be overwhelming to comprehend, let alone to leverage in totality in a rapid and affordable way. Inherently, software complexity is a key challenge to implementing the full capabilities of these technologies and this is where open source comes into play.
