A comprehensive networking suite

  • Choice of White-Box Hardware: DriveNets Network Cloud is a fully disaggregated solution. Its software and automation platform run on white-box hardware supplied by DriveNets as well as on hardware from a selection of leading ODMs. Service providers can choose to purchase a complete, end-to-end solution from DriveNets or deploy DriveNets software on hardware sourced independently.
  • DriveNets Network Operating System (DNOS): DNOS is a distributed, feature-rich network operating system designed to support any network architecture, including Distributed Disaggregated Chassis (DDC), standalone white boxes, back-to-back architectures, and more. It supports a wide range of networking use cases such as core, aggregation, access, peering, DCI, and AI fabrics.
  • Orchestration: DriveNets Network Orchestrator (DNOR) automates the deployment, scaling, and ongoing management of the DriveNets Network Cloud solution, enabling simplified operations and faster time to value.
