DriveNets

DriveNets is a networking software company that applies the disaggregated cloud model to telco-grade and AI networking. Its DriveNets Network Cloud runs DNOS, a cloud-native distributed network operating system, across shared white-box hardware to serve core, aggregation, access, peering, DCI, and AI-fabric use cases. The Network Cloud AI fabric delivers Ethernet-based GPU-cluster interconnect positioned as an alternative to InfiniBand. Founded in 2015, DriveNets powers disaggregated backbones for operators including AT&T, Comcast, Orange, and KDDI. Device management is exposed programmatically via NETCONF/gNMI over OpenConfig and DriveNets YANG models, with a first-party drivenets.dnos Ansible collection for automation; there is no public REST API.

DriveNets is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Ai Ml, Networking, Network Operating System, and Network Automation.

DriveNets’ developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, support, and 7 more developer resources.
