Our Partner

Our partner is a fast-growing software company that builds networks like clouds. It offers communications service providers and cloud providers a radical new way to build networks, detaching network growth from network cost and increasing network profitability. 

Our partner’s Network Cloud solution uniquely supports the complete virtualization of network and computer resources, enabling communication service providers and cloud providers to meet increasing service demands much more efficiently than with today’s monolithic routers.  

Their software runs over standard white-box hardware and can easily scale network capacity by adding additional white boxes into physical network clusters. This unique disaggregated network model enables the physical infrastructure to operate as a shared resource that supports multiple networks and services. This unique network design also allows faster service innovation at the network edge, supporting multiple service payloads, including latency-sensitive ones, over a single physical network edge.
