Introduction to Open Services Networking (OSN) -

Freedom to Innovate
Open Services Networking is an initiative for enhancing business networks to reduce costs, maximize revenue and more effectively address business challenges as they arise. It provides for an innovative solutions infrastructure that lets organizations, rather than their networking vendors, select the applications that best match business requirements and implement them with timeliness and efficiency. And, it further exemplifies industry leadership by expanding the functionality of its solutions beyond basic network connectivity.

The OSN initiative opens a world of new service possibilities, enabled by a single integrated networking platform that can be customized to the needs of any network environment. And, it delivers business-critical benefits:

  • Innovative, Flexible Solutions
  • Rapid Deployment of New Services
  • Cost Savings—CAPEX and OPEX
  • Lasting Investment Protection
  • Increased Control of Business Operations

In 3COM's CEO words:
"A significant focus of our technology strategy revolves around leveraging best-of-breed technology and open source applications to differentiate our networking solutions through innovation. OSN represents the foundation for that strategy and our future initiatives. It has the ability to drive a significant change in the networking landscape towards open, flexible multi-vendor integration."
