DriveNets is a software company that provides a network infrastructure platform running over a physical infrastructure consisting of white boxes. It offers a scalable network operating system based on a cloud and leverages Telco-hierarchy cloud design principles.

DriveNets is a rapidly growing software company that has created a radical new way for service providers and hyperscalers to build their networking infrastructure. DriveNets Network Cloud and DriveNets Network Cloud-AI are new innovative networking solutions that apply the cloud architectural approach to high-scale networking. They bring together the scalability of standard Ethernet Clos architecture with the high performance and reliability of service provider networking, delivering optimal networking performance, scale and cost structure for service providers and hyperscalers.

Founded by Ido Susan and Hillel Kobrinsky, two successful telco entrepreneurs, DriveNets Network Cloud is the leading open disaggregated networking solution based on cloud-native software running over standard white boxes. 

Over three funding rounds, DriveNets raised $587 million. Its solutions are used by tens of service providers globally and are in proof-of-concept and lab trials at dozens of operators and hyperscalers, consistently ranking #1 in trials for breadth of capabilities and solution quality. AT&T, the largest backbone in the US, deployed DriveNets Network Cloud across its core network, and DriveNets is currently transporting more than 52% of AT&T’s core network traffic. DriveNets is engaged with over 100 Tier-1 operators and cloud-providers on large projects in North America, Asia and Europe.

https://hubs.la/Q02f-94w0

Fully tested and validated solution will enable Tier-1 service providers to leverage open solutions and adopt cutting-edge technologies at large scale.

“Today’s announcement is further proof of the growth of disaggregated networking solutions and demonstrates that more operators are looking for open solutions that will allow them to mix elements from multiple vendors and avoid being locked to a specific end-to-end vendor solution,” said Nir Gasko, Vice President, Global Strategic Alliances for DriveNets.

“Partnering with DriveNets on this joint solution will allow network operators to deploy Acacia’s high-volume standard-based coherent pluggable portfolio in open disaggregated networks with less effort,” said Fenghai Liu, Senior Director of Product Line Management for Acacia. 

Happy Chinese New Year! Wishing you luck, love, and health in the Year of the Dragon.

DriveNets was named to the Futuriom 50 report which details the key trends driving cloud infrastructure investments and names the strongest private companies in the market for cloud infrastructure innovation. 

For Network Infrastructure for AI, the report highlights that building infrastructure for AI services is not a trivial game, especially in networking. There will be plenty of spots for emerging companies to play as Ethernet-based networking solutions emerge as an alternative to InfiniBand.
