It is understood that Ruijie has officially participated in SDN research since 2011. After more than four years of continuous exploration, it has formed its own technical system and platform (ONP open network platform) in the SDN field, including SDN open network controller (RG-ONC), SDN switches (Ruijie's full range of mainstream switching products), SDN routers/gateway devices, NFV devices, etc., as well as scenario-based whole network solutions.

Ruijie's SDN strategy focuses on platformization, openness, and intelligence, and brings simple and available "future networks" to users, making it the only manufacturer in the industry to propose this type of solution.

As an early "explorer" in the field of SDN in China, Ruijie Networks was the first among network communication manufacturers to start the commercialization of SDN products, and has a large number of "implementation" cases in industries such as education, finance, government, and the Internet. In terms of SDN ecosystem cultivation, Ruijie has been strongly supporting the National College SDN Application Innovation and Development Competition, continuously strengthening the cultivation of high-end talents in related fields in my country, and relying on actual application cases to help college teachers and students better master the research of SDN technology. In 2016, Ruijie reaped great rewards in SDN standardization certification. Ten of its products, including the RG-N18010 (Newton) cloud architecture network core switch, passed the OpenFlow v1.3 consistency test of the Global SDN Testing and Certification Center and obtained relevant certification certificates issued by ONF.

As an important development direction of the next generation network, SDN has always been a hot topic of concern in academia and industry, and has been listed as one of the top ten key technologies in the IT field in the next five years by Gartner, an international research organization. With the continuous acceleration of the development of modern data centers, the average annual compound growth rate of global cloud computing service traffic is as high as 30%, and nearly two-thirds of the load will be processed in the cloud. Under this trend, the advantages and characteristics of SDN technology are more prominent. Due to its characteristics of simpler network design, faster service deployment, and more universal equipment, SDN has been adopted and recognized by more and more users, and the trend of commercialization and scale has been significantly accelerated. In order to fully stimulate the energy contained in SDN, Ruijie will more actively expand the relevant cooperation ecosystem, reach a stable and long-term strategic cooperation with cloud platform manufacturers and data center service providers, and better release the technological innovation.
