Our verdict on DriveNets Network Cloud
DriveNets Network Cloud combines a distributed network operating system with orchestration and automation for service providers and cloud providers building converged network infrastructure. Its containerized microservices support distributed disaggregated chassis (DDC), standalone white-box, and back-to-back architectures. The software is designed for mid-market and enterprise environments, and can run on DriveNets-supplied hardware or independently sourced hardware from selected ODMs. It is a fit for teams adopting white-box infrastructure; organizations seeking a hosted networking service should look elsewhere, since deployment is on-premises.
The product’s scope goes beyond device configuration. DNOS provides distributed networking, while DNOR supports provisioning, scaling, and management of the Network Cloud solution. Automation covers infrastructure provisioning, upgrades, configuration, and troubleshooting. Operators also get cluster topology visibility and device views, alongside real-time alarm monitoring and analytics. This makes the offering relevant when teams need both fabric lifecycle controls and operational visibility across a disaggregated environment. Hardware flexibility is qualified, however: operation is hardware-agnostic across a selection of ODM white-box systems, not presented as support for arbitrary hardware.
Open APIs and OpenConfig/YANG interfaces provide an integration path for systems that work with those interfaces. The deployment remains self-hosted, so buyers should account for operating the software within their own on-premises environment. According to the vendor’s pricing approach, pricing is handled through sales rather than published as a plan. That suits buyers evaluating an end-to-end network solution or software for independently sourced hardware, but requires a sales conversation to assess cost. Choose Network Cloud if DDC or white-box fabric automation, orchestration, and assurance are central requirements. It is less suitable for teams that need a public hosted service or broad hardware choice beyond the supported ODM selection.
