About Us

DriveNets is a leader in disaggregated high-scale networking solutions for service providers and AI infrastructures. Founded in December 2015, DriveNets created a radical new way to build networks by adapting the architectural model of the cloud to telco-grade networking. This solution accelerates network deployment, improves the network’s economic model, and radically simplifies network operations. With customers including Comcast, Orange, and KDDI - over 80% of AT&T’s network traffic now runs through a disaggregated core powered by DriveNets software. DriveNets Network Cloud-AI solution, based on the same technology, was introduced to the market in 2023, providing the highest-performance Ethernet-based AI networking solution, and is already deployed by Hyperscalers, NeoClouds and Enterprises. Raising over $587 million in three funding rounds, DriveNets continues to deploy the most innovative network infrastructure and is looking for the most talented people to be part of this journey.
