Alcatel-Lucent Networking Embraces Linux, NAC (internetnews.com)
AOS itself sits on top of an embedded operating system that Alcatel-Lucent uses on its switching gear. Currently, that operating system is VxWorks from Wind River, though that's set to change. Minka Nikolova, senior product manager at Alcatel-Lucent, told InternetNews.com that the plan is to shift from VxWorks to Linux by early next year. Nikolova argued that from a user point of view, customers won't know the difference, as the operating system underneath AOS will be transparent. That said, she did note that Linux will bring some new opportunities to AOS."
