Nvidia Cumulus NetQ

Cumulus Networks, a provider of open networking software, spent the past 10 years helping enterprises build more efficient data centers using open networking software that runs on Linux for bare metal switches. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company turned the head of Nvidia in May, which revealed its plan to acquire Cumulus Networks.

Today, the Nvidia Cumulus NetQ network operations tool uses telemetry for troubleshooting, visibility and automated workflows from a single interface, which the company said will reduce maintenance and network downtimes. Users can easily upgrade, configure and deploy network elements with a full suite of operations capabilities, including visibility, troubleshooting, validation, trace and comparative look-back functionality, according to the company.
