What really makes OS10 different Uses an OpenSource Linux kernel and distribution

• Enables OS standardization across data center infrastructure

Completely disaggregated software architecture

• Base system software decoupled from L2/L3 protocol stack and services

• Unrestricted programmability and portability via CMS, CPS and SAI

Mainline software for Dell Networking portfolio

• Not developed for a ‘bolt-on’ product set, or product sub-set

• Seamless integration with Storage Fabric, Server-attach and Core Networking Dell products
