Netberg
Netberg is a hardware vendor focused on open networking switches and related solutions for data center and telecom infrastructure environments.
- Open networking switches for data centers, cloud environments, and service providers (data center networking).
- Disaggregated hardware platforms designed to run network operating systems from multiple ecosystem partners (network disaggregation).
- High-density Ethernet switching platforms for spine, leaf, and Top-of-Rack (TOR) use cases (data center fabric).
- Hardware designs targeting Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), and white-box deployment models (software-defined networking infrastructure).
- Support services and integration assistance for deploying open network hardware in production networks (professional services).
More About Netberg
Netberg focuses on open networking hardware for enterprises, cloud operators, and telecommunications providers that want disaggregated network architectures. Its portfolio centers on Ethernet switches for data center and carrier environments, with products that map to common deployment roles such as spine, leaf, and TOR within Clos or leaf-spine architectures. The company positions its switches for organizations that prefer open, standards-based hardware that can interoperate with a range of commercial or community network operating systems (network operating systems).
Netberg’s hardware platforms are built around merchant silicon from established chipset vendors, which aligns with typical open networking and white-box models. These platforms support high-throughput Ethernet interfaces across 1/10/25/40/100/400 GbE configurations depending on the model, allowing use in aggregation and core switching scenarios as well as access and TOR layers. By focusing on standard interfaces and protocols such as Ethernet, Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) where supported by the chosen network Operating System (OS), Netberg targets compatibility with existing data center and carrier network designs.
The company’s products operate in a disaggregated framework in which the switching hardware and network OS are procured and managed separately. Netberg collaborates with ecosystem partners that provide network operating systems (network operating systems) and SDN controllers (software-defined networking) to enable operators to choose their preferred software stack. This approach aligns with industry practices around open networking, where enterprises and service providers use Network Optimization Suite (NOS) options that support common routing, switching, and automation capabilities through APIs, NETCONF, or other management protocols.
In enterprise environments, Netberg switches are positioned for use in private cloud infrastructure, virtualized environments, and high-bandwidth application clusters where predictable throughput and standardized interfaces are required. In telecom and service provider networks, the same hardware platforms can be deployed in edge, aggregation, or core roles, depending on the port density and speed capabilities of the specific model. The hardware is intended to integrate with orchestration and automation tools that operators already use for configuration management and monitoring.
Within a directory or marketplace taxonomy, Netberg aligns to categories such as open networking hardware, data center switching, and white-box switches (data center networking). Its focus on disaggregated platforms places it within the broader ecosystem of SDN and network function virtualization infrastructure (SDN/NFV). Customers that adopt Netberg devices can standardize on merchant silicon-based platforms while retaining flexibility to select network operating systems and management frameworks that match their operational requirements.
