Re-define Service Providers’ operational model and business resilience
DriveNets takes full responsibility for on-time, high-quality delivery to ensure dramatic OpEx reduction. Our holistic solution spans networking, orchestration, and security to drive true network convergence, collapsing network layers to reduce complexity, hardware footprint, power consumption, and the number of sites required to operate the network. Combined with AI-driven end-to-end automation, this approach enhances efficiency, accelerates service provisioning, and enables continuous innovation, saving billions in OpEx.
Core networks require maximum scalability and efficiency to handle the growing traffic from personalized content and high-performing access networks. DriveNets Network Cloud meets these demands by adopting a cloud-like approach—scalable, elastic, cost-efficient, and easy to manage. Its distributed, disaggregated chassis architecture enables operators to evolve their core networks without the limitations of traditional monolithic designs.
Aggregation Networks are a critical part of the network architecture that serve as an intermediary layer between the edge and access networks (which connect end-users) and the core network (which handles large-scale, high-speed data transport). DriveNets’ software-based solution allows the aggregation network to scale elastically by adding additional white-box devices as needed. This modular scaling capability makes it possible to expand capacity incrementally, without the need for costly forklift upgrades.
Peering enables service providers to interconnect their network with other providers’ networks, allowing the flow of internet traffic between different regions, data centers, and service areas. DriveNets peering solution offers scalable routing table exchanges and flexible architecture to support a growing number of routing table entries and connections to multiple peers.
Service providers need to support edge networks with high-density routing and meet the growing demands of low-latency services and emerging applications (such as IoT and autonomous systems). DriveNets addresses these challenges by combining networking and compute resources over a shared, cloud-like infrastructure. This allows network operators to improve their service quality, enable new, latency-sensitive services and optimize the traffic distribution across their network.
Data centers are growing in size and number, creating a need for better interconnect solutions. Traffic volumes are outgrowing the legacy Interconnect chassis, while power concerns and sustainability requirements demand more efficient solutions. DriveNets Network Cloud allows service providers to leverage DCI solutions with practically limitless capacity (up to 819 TB), all while optimizing footprint, cooling, and power consumption.
As 5G deployments accelerate and service providers migrate from 4G, a robust, converged and flexible mobile backhaul (MBH) becomes critical for smooth radio access network (RAN) operation. DriveNets offers a disaggregated mobile backhaul solution that meets the growing demand for capacity and service diversity. Its unified open hardware and single software deliver a converged transport for all mobile and wired broadband traffic, simplifying design and management while reducing costs to meet current and future needs.
Cable Multiple Systems Operators (MSO) require very high-density IP aggregation, triggered by network evolution towards DAA (Distributed Access Architecture), the multiplication of deep fiber locations, and customer traffic acceleration. The deployment of a scalable and cost-effective distributed hybrid fiber coax access networks as defined by Cablelabs’ DCA (Distributed CCAP Architecture), allows operators to take full advantage of the gigabit capabilities of DOCSIS including Full Duplex and Low Latency DOCSIS, and Coherent Optics. This architecture, aggregated by DriveNets elastic scale DDC, translates to more than enough bandwidth to support the latest-generation products far into the future.
DriveNets AI Fabric enables service providers to unlock new growth potential by adding a GPUaaS offering to their portfolio. Leverage existing infrastructure (sites, power, connectivity) and networking expertise and integrate AI infrastructure networking with your infrastructure. Scale-up, scale-out, scale-across, storage and front-end networking based on the same technology you use across your entire network, with InfiniBand-level performance and field proven experience and performance.
