    • Open source operating systems and hypervisorsMojo's transition to open source UNIX-like operating system and BSD hypervisor led to improved performance, higher system uptime, edge data center provisioning, and flexibility for modifications

      Open source operating systems and hypervisors played a crucial role in accelerating product innovation for a company named Mojo. When Mojo started in 2017, they aimed to create a virtual appliance for discovering, provisioning, and maintaining servers from any manufacturer. By 2020, they launched their flagship platform built entirely on open source technologies. However, they wanted to enhance performance, ensure higher system uptime, and streamline the architecture. To achieve this, they replaced their Linux operating system and KVM virtual machine solution with the UNIX-like open source free bsd operating system and the BSD hypervisor Beehive. This transition allowed Mojo to add edge data center provisioning to their platform, managing bare metal servers and storage within a data center and at the edge. The use of open source technologies under the Avery Permissive license and open governance model provided flexibility and extensive modification without stringent or murky conditions. The adoption of free bsd and Beehive proved to be a game-changer for Mojo, enabling them to add edge data center provisioning and improve overall platform performance. Companies looking to innovate and remain competitive can learn from Mojo's experience by considering the benefits of open source operating systems and hypervisors.

    • Open Source Technology and InnovationOpen source technology and innovation are transforming industries by enabling faster data processing, simplifying management, and creating new opportunities for growth. Examples include MLB's transition to containerized environment using Mojo and the Photon ISP platform providing uninterrupted rural broadband access.

      Open source technology and innovative solutions are revolutionizing various industries, from sports to education and rural broadband access. Mojo, a platform backed by an evolved open source strategy, played a crucial role in MLB's transition from VMware to a containerized environment, enabling faster data processing and significant performance gains. This led to streamlined deployment pipelines, simplified management of edge sites, and optimized CI/CD pipelines. Meanwhile, necessity gave birth to another innovative solution – the Photon ISP platform. This platform, built on the free BSD operating system, delivers routing, firewall, and codes to rural customers, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity through 4G, 5G, and Starlink failover. With consistent speeds, reliable streaming content, and almost zero latency, the Photon ISP platform is a game-changer for rural communities. These examples demonstrate the power of open source technology and the importance of innovation in addressing complex challenges. By embracing open source solutions, organizations can streamline processes, improve performance, and create new opportunities for growth.

    • Open Source TechnologiesEmbracing open source technologies can lead to innovation, reduced deployment times, enhanced performance, greater flexibility, and cost efficiency compared to proprietary alternatives.

      Embracing open source technologies like free BSD and Beehive has significantly boosted innovation and customer growth for our platforms. The success story with MLB, which led to reduced deployment times and enhanced performance, is a testament to the immense impact open source solutions can have. They offer greater flexibility and cost efficiency compared to proprietary alternatives. By making this strategic shift, we've been able to create a more agile and innovative business model. This is just one example of how open source can drive outsized benefits for organizations. Embracing open source isn't just about saving costs; it's about unlocking new possibilities and staying competitive in today's rapidly evolving tech landscape.
