DriveNets on Wednesday announced a strategic partnership with ITOCHU Techno-Solutions to help service providers in Japan leverage the cloud architecture to accelerate growth and realize operational efficiencies, by disaggregating their networks and deploying cloud-native solution.

ITOCHU Techno-Solutions is joining DriveNets’ Partner Program, and will integrate DriveNets Network Cloud solution at service providers and hyperscalers in Japan, streamlining and accelerating the evolution to cloud-based networking. ITOCHU Techno-Solutions will support the critical steps of network rollouts, including design, testing, validation, production readiness, sourcing and logistics, end-to-end seamless integration, and technical support.

The companies have already secured deployment agreements with key Tier-1 service providers in Japan, and are currently expanding to additional joint projects in the region. ITOCHU Techno-Solutions and DriveNets are building up on this partnership and planning to extend it to other APAC countries.

The DriveNets Partner Program was established to accelerate the transformation in the telecom field, from a closed, vendor-dependent model to a cloud-like architecture with an open ecosystem, where each partner plays to its strength, leading to a combined solution that is better, more cost effective, and more innovative than each individual element.

The program has been designed to leverage the disaggregated network model and bring together a wide range of worldwide players, including channel partners, solution providers, hardware manufacturers, and application developers. DriveNets’ Partner Program combines DriveNets’ solution with our partners’ value-added expertise to accelerate innovation in the service provider space.
