DriveNets Network Cloud, 3.5 Diamonds

DriveNets' Network Cloud is a fully disaggregated software solution that runs on low-cost white-box based hardware. Its shared data path scales out linearly with capacity demand. A single Network Cloud can encompass up to 10,000 100-Gbps ports. Its control plane scales up separately, consolidating any service and routing protocol. Orchestration capabilities include zero-touch provisioning, full life cycle management and automation as well as diagnostics. While breaking vendor lock-in, it turns the network into a unified, shared resource for greater efficiency and simplicity.

Judge's Comment: "Operators are moving more and more services into the cloud. Faster, scalable, better cloud products are needed as products continue to move in this direction."
