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.”
