Open-Source Network Hardware

Routers, switches, and servers are essential for maintaining the operational integrity and security of your infrastructure. NobleConsul supports you in constructing dependable and auditable systems and applications, spanning from foundational architecture to high-level strategic planning.

Swapping proprietary hardware for commodity alternatives

By leveraging well-vetted commodity hardware, we can construct infrastructure that utilizes the same software and hardware components as the rest of your system. Basic servers, desktop computers, or mini-PCs can be deployed to function as routers or switches.

We configure standard Linux distributions, which your engineering teams likely already know well, to serve as switches, routers, WiFi hotspots, or NAS file storage. This approach allows us to match the performance capabilities of premium proprietary hardware and custom silicon.

Auditability

Accessing the switch utilizes the same authorization and authentication software as any other server or desktop. This eliminates the need to configure and 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 meet your specific requirements.

Freedom from geo-political pressures and vendor lock-in

Because the software operates on any commodity equipment, you are not dependent on specific vendor software or hardware. If you encounter issues sourcing hardware from one vendor, you can easily transition to another, provided it is supported by Linux.
