Volta Networks delivers the first cloud-native routing platform which reduces cost by an order of magnitude by using the cloud to optimize routing for low-cost, white box switches. Unlike legacy routers or routing appliances, the Volta Elastic Virtual Routing Engine (VEVRE) virtualizes and scales the routing control plane while using automation to accelerate new network services. By fully disaggregating the control plane, service providers can support multiple virtual routers at the lowest possible cost for cell site gateways, crosshaul, edge computing and provider edge. This enables emerging applications like RAN sharing and network slicing.
