"Ciena DRAC Goes Open Source for Network Control"
Ciena open sources Dynamic Resource Allocation Controller,
technology it acquired from bankrupt Nortel technology
for managing network path control.
Jun 7, 2010, EnterpriseNetworkingPlanet
.....
"Ciena is open sourcing a technology called the Dynamic Resource
Allocation Controller (DRAC) under the GPLv3 license. DRAC provides
a solution for abstracting network resources and enabling users
to provision dynamic on-demand lightpaths.
The approach could provide a new method for connecting large
and disparate networking assets."
.....
"Ciena acquired the DRAC technology through its $774 million purchase
of Nortel's optical networking and Metro Ethernet business units."
.....
"DRAC is already in use on Ciena's commercial equipment today and
Runnels said that he expects it to be a mainstay in its portfolio going
forward. Now that the DRAC technology is open source it could also
end up in products from other vendors in the future as well.
Ultimately, Ciena envisions DRAC growing into a user-provisioned
network services tool supported by multiple vendors."
Paul Runnels, a member of Ciena's product line management team
