For any network use case
DriveNets Network Cloud offers software-based networking infrastructure solutions for any network use case – from core and peering to Edge and Aggregation, based on microservices and containers. All running on a shared cluster of networking white boxes.

Data Center Interconnect (DCI)

With data center spread expanding in both quantity, size and density, connectivity between data centers becomes a versatile challenge. Traffic patterns are continuously shifting, intensifying the load on the DCI network.

DriveNets Network Cloud addresses these challenges by building networks as a part of the cloud, turning the DCI into an integral part of the data center, making the connectivity to and from the datacenter – seamless.

Peering Networks

The network peering function is a critical part of the networking infrastructure. It requires scaling in terms of routing table exchange and network architecture evolution, calling for additional peering points in different locations of the network. DriveNets Network Cloud addresses these challenges by changing the network paradigm – building networks like cloud – scalable, elastic, cost-efficient and simple to manage.

Aggregation Networks

Aggregation networks must handle different access technologies and different types of services and traffic patterns and efficiently aggregate those into the core network. A sudden change in traffic patterns pose a burden on network operators. DriveNets Network Cloud addresses is changing the network paradigm – building networks like cloud – scalable, elastic, cost-efficient and simple to manage.

Edge Cloud

The new network edge requires tight integration of edge computing and edge networking. As more and more latency-sensitive applications emerge – networking and compute functions need to move towards the network edge – closer to the end user. DriveNets Network Cloud addresses these challenges by combining networking and compute resources over a shared, cloud-like infrastructure that puts greater functionality at the network edge.

Cable/MSO Networks

Multiple Systems Operators (MSO) and cable providers are experiencing significantly greater growth in their IP traffic and now requires a revamp of the MSO IP network infrastructure, a process that calls for a paradigm change in how this network is built.

DriveNets Network Cloud addresses these challenges by building networks like cloud – scalable, elastic, cost-efficient and simple to manage.

Core Networks

Core networks are where scaling and efficiency matter the most. The ever-increasing traffic flow through the core network, driven by the surge in personalized content and the increased performance of access networks, pose a challenge to modern core networks.

DriveNets Network Cloud addresses these challenges by changing the network paradigm – building networks like cloud – scalable, elastic, cost-efficient and simple to manage.

Based on a distributed disaggregated chassis architecture, the Network Cloud solutions allows cloud and network operators evolve their core network without the limitations and constraints of past, monolithic architectures.

Aggregation Networks

  • Simplified operations with unified building blocks, orchestration and management
    •  Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
    • Automated life-cycle management for seamless upgrades, health management and more.
  • Higher visibility, for management and diagnostics, from hardware component level to software container, with distributed fabric.
  • Significant reduction in total cost of ownership via lower cost hardware and more efficient software architecture.
  • Future proof, open standard, cloud-native architecture:
    • OCP DDC-compliant hardware
    • Data and control planes disaggregation
    • Microservice architecture

Edge Cloud

The new network edge requires tight integration of edge computing and edge networking. As more and more latency-sensitive applications emerge – networking and compute functions need to move towards the network edge – closer to the end user.

This trend also optimizes traffic distribution across the network as content-delivery networks become more distributed and content instances also reside at the network edge.
This means that the network edge should efficiently handle applications, requiring computing resources, as well as a growing volume of traffic.

DriveNets Network Cloud for edge cloud architecture addresses these challenges by combining networking and compute resources over a shared, cloud-like infrastructure. It allows operators to put greater functionality at the network edge, even in site with space and power limitations. This allows network and cloud operators to improve their service quality, enable new, latency-sensitive services and optimize the traffic distribution across their network.

Peering Networks

The network peering function is a critical part of the networking infrastructure. It requires scaling in terms routing table exchange and network architecture evolution, which calls for additional peering points in different locations of the network.

DriveNets Network Cloud addresses these challenges by changing the network paradigm – building networks like cloud – scalable, elastic, cost-efficient and simple to manage.

Based on a distributed disaggregated chassis architecture, the Network Cloud solutions allows cloud and network operators to implement a feature rich peering network function over a standalone box or as a part of a cluster which also implements core, aggregation or edge functionality.

Data Center Interconnect (DCI)

With data center spread expanding in both quantity, size and density, the connectivity between data centers becomes a versatile challenge. Traffic patterns are continuously shifting thus intensifying the load on the DCI network.

DriveNets Network Cloud addresses these challenges by building networks as an internal part of the cloud and turning the DCI into an integral part of the data center, making the connectivity to and from the datacenter – seamless.

Based on a distributed disaggregated chassis architecture, the Network Cloud solutions allows cloud providers to manage all layers of DCI using the same methodology and leverage a hyper-scalable infrastructure, reducing the burden of never-ending planning and extending their infrastructure.
