Three Companies Offering Disaggregated Routing Platforms Named IDC Innovators
Summary
The primary benefit of a disaggregated, abstracted, and comprehensively automated datacenter network running on a standardized hardware substrate was that it could be efficiently managed and operated at unprecedented scale. IDC recognizes a new wave of startup vendors addressing needs and opportunities for disaggregated routing platforms," said Brad Casemore, research vice president, Datacenter Networks. This study summarizes three approaches to an existential problem faced by CSPs today," said Rajesh Ghai, research director, Carrier Network Infrastructure. Arrcus offers a routing-centric platform with deep protocol support and rich visibility that abstracts and leverages in extensive array of network merchant silicon to serve edge and core use cases for CSPs, cloud providers, and cloud-forward enterprises. DRIVENETS provides virtual, distributed, disaggregated, and highly scalable network solutions using a cluster of low-cost white boxes built on merchant silicon and running cloud-native containers-based software with a flat licensing fee.
