ArcOS: Enabling the Open Integration Era for Routing

In the age of digital transformation, advancements in 5G, AI, machine learning, IOT, and network automation require smarter, scalable, and secure networks that lower the total costs of ownership. In a bid to achieve these goals, network infrastructure is increasingly becoming routing-centric. Read More

ArcOS: Building Scalable, Automated, Multi-Tenant Data Center Fabrics

As application-centric digital infrastructures have become mainstream, data center network architectures (across both enterprises and providers) are firmly rooted in routing-centric designs leaving behind the siloed switching-centric designs of the past. Starting with the hyperscale cloud providers and extending to most major enterprises, multi-tier Clos topologies (“Leaf-Spine”) are the norm today and into the foreseeable future. These designs enable wide fan-out bandwidth for east-west host-to-host communication, Layer 3 routing to the top-of-rack (or even into the server host), and consistent latency metrics... Read More

Building the Best Possible Network Operating System from First Principles

At Arrcus, we found ourselves presented with the rare opportunity of creating a new network operating system from ground up. With this blank sheet of paper in front of us, we were able to use first order architectural principles and incorporate features that we know to be proven and best-in-class. Read More
