“We are carrying 590 petabytes of every day. That’s a lot of traffic. And on our core backbone. Already over 50% of the traffic is running on an open disaggregated architecture where the network operating system was DriveNets.”

Yigal Elbaz, SVP Network/CTO

“Where DriveNets truly disrupts the CSPs’ space is with it’s separation of hardware and software, use of networking white boxes in the core of the networks and with its flat software pricing. This strong combination allows operators to break vendor lock-in, scale up capacity more cost effectively and grow their margins as they do.”

Sterling Perrin, Heavy Reading

“The flexibility to deploy infrastructure using a building block approach. That means it can roll out one “pizza box” in a central office to support something like a small business network or as many as 48 in a cluster for a core switching node.”

Mike Satterlee, VP Network Core Infrastructure Services

“AT&T is the only major operator who has endorsed, and actually deployed, a large-scale white-box-based network. The majority of that network is deploying on a 5G-related mission, but they also recently announced a transformation of their core to white-box clusters provided by DriveNets.”

Tom Nolle, CIMICorp

“The TCO improvement is about 20% when we disaggregate.”

Jean Louis Le Roux, Executive VP International Networks

“White boxes offer AT&T a capital savings of about 10X compared to traditional chassis and line card architecture.”

John Gibbons, AVP of Network Infrastructure Services

“DriveNets approach is unique as it combines whitebox switching and its own software. This will allow them to address the full list of cloud customers, including those who do white boxes.”

Alan Weckel, Founder and Technology Analyst

We are pushing for disaggregation in all the network layers…when decoupling the software and the hardware you can have different innovation cycles and software cycle could be faster and you can bring new things to the network in a faster way.”

Cayetano Carbajo, VP for Core, Transport and Service Platforms

“DriveNets stood out in our research as having the strongest combination of innovation, maturity and proven high-scale deployment, supporting a wide range of use cases and network function. It is a forward-looking vendor that continues to develop and deploy solutions that allow service providers to evolve their networks to the cloud era.”

Ivan McPhee, Analyst

“DriveNets Network Cloud enables us to quickly scale our network as needed, while controlling our costs effectively.”
