Heavy Networking 579: How Arrcus Enables Network-as-a-Service For 5G Edge/Access Networks (Sponsored)

Today on Heavy Networking, we talk with sponsor Arrcus about its support for segment routing and the impact it will have on the wider market, particularly for 5G networks. The demands of 5G and edge computing are influencing network architectures and designs as organizations figure out how to deliver rich media content, cope with mobile traffic, and deliver new services. Arrcus, whose ArcOS network OS is designed for hyperscale environments, is here to make the case for segment routing as a smart way to enable low-latency, open networks. We discuss the benefits of segment routing as a software-defined, routing-centric network foundation, and examine how Arrcus supports multiple implementations of segment routing including SR-MPLS and SRv6. We also dive into whitebox as a way to improve ROI. Our guests from Arrcus are Keyur Patel, CTO and Co-Founder; and Murali Gandluru, Vice President, Product Management.
