About Novarq
The Solution to Vendor Dependency
Novarq’s approach is to eliminate any vendor lock-in or SIA dependency. Our solution is based on the Microchip Sparx5 silicon. This is very important as the silicon utilizes mainline linux switchdev support and has opened all the registers. This means anybody can further improve the switch functionality.
We leverage the app-based approach, so the switch will come with mainline Linux and your can use that, but we will provide value added apps such as L4 routing, remote management and web ui. Additionally, we are always adding new features to our application library.
