IP Infusion, a provider of network disaggregation solutions for telecom and data communications operators, and Distri X, a network, security and cloud solutions specialist based in the Netherlands, has announced a partnership to deliver leading-edge open networking solutions within the Benelux.
Distri X is a new local distributor for the region with an expertise in networking, security and cloud solutions that builds on 20 years of information and communications technologies experience. They chose to partner with IP Infusion because IP Infusion’s OcNOS®, a best-of-breed networking platform, frees operators from vendor-locked networks to open disaggregated solutions.
The open source ecosystem will support Distri X’s efforts to ignite networking innovation in the Benelux, an economically dynamic region of Europe with high fiber density and a 3 billion market investment in data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solutions expected from 2021 to 2025 according to the Arizton Advisory & Intelligence report.
IP Infusion’s carrier-grade disaggregated networking solutions allow network operators to create new services and accelerate revenue streams. Its validated network operating system, OcNOS®, combined with the choice of best-of-breed hardware, supports a diverse range of networking use cases. With IP Infusion’s advanced support services, network operators can migrate seamlessly to an end-to-end disaggregated networking solution that delivers lower Total Cost of Ownership.
“We believe that software defined networking (SDN) is the most modern and cost-effective way for network operators to deploy new features and services,” said Rob van der Steen, Owner, Distri X. “IP Infusion has a powerful history of delivering robust solutions in all divisions of the network operating systems platform, from access, optical transport, to data center networking, offering full routing capabilities for a high-quality subscriber and operator experience.”
“We’re excited to partner with Distri X, with its thorough network competency in designing complex networks that enable seamless migration and expanded capacity,” said Atsushi Ogata, President and CEO of IP Infusion. “Our carrier-grade OcNOS® network operating system offers an alternative to traditional legacy network vendors and shortens integration cycles. We are pleased to work with Distri X as they transform data center networks across the Benelux for higher overall performance with lower Total Cost of Ownership.”
Open networking, based on disaggregated hardware and software, is proving to be the optimal choice for service providers worldwide as it allows them to expand their networks faster. IP Infusion’s OcNOS was the first network operating system to provide in-demand advanced capabilities including extensive protocol support for enterprise class routing, switching and MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), to help build scalable network platforms that align with the Open Compute Project, an open hardware movement.
