Open-Source Network Equipment

Routers, switches, and servers are fundamental to maintaining the operational integrity and security of your infrastructure. NobleConsul assists you in establishing reliable, auditable infrastructure and applications, supporting everything from foundational setup to high-level strategic planning.

Substituting proprietary hardware with commodity alternatives

By leveraging well-tested commodity hardware, we can construct infrastructure that aligns seamlessly with the software and hardware standards already present in other parts of your environment. Standard servers, desktop computers, or mini-PCs can effectively function as routers or switches.

We configure standard Linux distributions, which your engineering teams are likely already familiar with, to operate as switches, routers, Wi-Fi hotspots, or NAS file storage solutions. This approach allows us to match the performance levels of top-tier proprietary and custom silicon solutions.

Auditability

Accessing a switch utilizes the same authentication and authorization software as any other server or desktop system. This uniformity means there is no need to configure or maintain separate teams for networking and systems administration.

Since all software components are open-source, you have the ability to audit and modify them to suit your specific requirements.

Freedom from geopolitical pressures and vendor lock-in

Because the software operates on standard commodity equipment, you are not dependent on specific vendor software or hardware. If supply issues arise with one vendor, you can easily switch to another, provided the hardware is supported by Linux.
