Following its success in the U.S. market, DriveNets is currently in sales
processes with around 20 customers in the APAC region as momentum builds
exponentially for the DriveNets Network Cloud white box-based routing software
solutions. The global interest from service providers and webscalers is fueled
by the desire to adopt an open disaggregated network model.
“DriveNets has the right team in Asia Pacific to work with our customers -
service and cloud provider visionaries, and drive new innovative services and
new levels of scale while changing their business models to accelerate growth.”
said Ido Susan, CEO and Co-Founder DriveNets. “The recent Telecom Infra Project
(TIP) Request for Information (RFI) shows the growing demand in the market for
disaggregated networking and we are seeing the momentum of it in the Asia
Pacific region.”
The APAC team will ensure that DriveNets will fully support our customers
in the region, with stronger operations underpinning and partners who can
accompany the full lifecycle management of DriveNets Network Cloud deployments,
with a particular focus on Japan, India, South East Asia, China, Australia and
New Zealand. In the fall DriveNets Japan will open an office in Tokyo.
“Over the next five years, we expect that half of high-scale, telco-grade
infrastructure will transition to disaggregated routers,” said Alan Weckel,
Technology Analyst of 650 Group. “DriveNets Network Cloud is a major leader in
this transition. Asia Pacific telcos will benefit significantly as the region
becomes one of the largest consumers of disaggregated routers.”
