Шаблон:Infobox company DriveNets is a software company, vendor of a network infrastructure platform[1] that runs over a physical infrastructure consisting of white boxes.[2]
History
DriveNets was founded in 2015 by Ido Susan and Hillel Kobrinsky. Susan is the co-founder of Intucell, which he sold to Cisco for $475 million in 2013.[3] Kobrinsky co-founded Interwise, which was acquired by AT&T for $121 million.[4] DriveNets was in a stealth mode[5] and was self-funded until 2019.[6] In 2019, DriveNets raised $110 million in series A round from Bessemer Venture Partners and Pitango Growth,[7] along with John W. Thompson and Stephen J. Luczo.[8] In 2021, DriveNets raised $208 million in series B funding led by D1 Capital Partners with follow-on investments from Bessemer and Pitango and investment by Harel Insurance.[9] In August 2022, DriveNets announced it completed Series C funding of $262 million led by D2 Investments, along with former investors Bessemer, D1 Capital, Pitango and Atreides Management and Harel Insurance.[10] The company's estimated value was $2.5 billion,[11] after raising total sum of $587 million.[12]
The company has 450 employees at offices in Israel, Romania, Japan and USA.[13] The company has about 100 customers, including AT&T [14] and KDDI.[15] Among its partners are Fujitsu, Broadcom Inc.,[16] Itochu Techno-Solutions, Wipro, KGPCo and EPCglobal.[17]
In November 2023, DriveNets joined the Ultra Ethernet Consortium, an industry effort to build optimal Ethernet for high-performance networking.[18][19]
Technologies
DriveNets markets a scalable network operating system (NOS) based on a cloud.[20] The network cloud architecture creates a software routing framework that can grow linearly to a large scale from a centralized cloud.[21] The company leverages Telco-hierarchy cloud design principles such as containerized microservices, shared facilities, and inexpensive white boxes.[22] Another product that the company sells is a network operating system that relies on Ethernet to connect AI-optimized systems in a distributed cluster. The approach applies the Open Compute Project Distributed Disaggregated Chassis architecture, which enables AI clusters to scale at an adequate performance while keeping JCT low. [23]
