NETWORK CLOUD

Network Cloud is a disaggregated web-scale routing software stack. Running over low-cost white boxes, it can grow linearly to unprecedented capacity and scale, running any service on any port from centralized clouds. It makes provider networks easier to grow, simpler to scale and more affordable to own.

White box architecture
White box architecture
The hardware on which Network Cloud deploys any network service, at any scale. Provided by ODMs, using merchant silicon switching chips. Network Cloud runs on various combinations of the same 2 building blocks – one for packet forwarding, one for fabric.

REACH THE CLOUD, SMOOTHLY

NETWORK CLOUD MIGRATION

While Network Cloud revolutionizes carrier networks’ architecture and economic models, its deployment is evolutionary. By handling the growth traffic first, it is designed to allow service providers to migrate to the disaggregated network without disrupting existing performance or compromising on feature completeness.

Growth traffic first

“DriveNets has the hallmarks of a market disruptor — experienced staff, technology already in the field, financial backing — that is targeting the sweet spot of a number of major industry players, most notably Cisco, Juniper, Nokia and Huawei.”

Ray Le Maistre

“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.”

Ray Mota
CEO & Principal Analysts, ACG Research

“There are some people pushing the boundaries into cloud-based routing because they feel that traditional routing with BGP (border gateway protocol) is too slow, and that we need a more intelligent layer. DriveNets is one company that’s doing it.”

Roy Chua

“This company has found the right spot where white box is appealing for telecom and VCs have recognized this. There’s a long history of dumb VC money (see “Optical Networking” circa 1999) but this is a good bet – not a sure thing but a good bet on the technology.”
